MyAppleGuide was the first to break news of the March 24th event earlier this month. While our sources had correctly informed us that Apple would be updating its entire desktop line, their date for the release was incorrect. Apple updated their entire consumer desktop line last Tuesday. It seems however, that the March 24th event may still actually be on. Over the last few days we have received additional confirmation of the event. Today, German Apple site SevenMac stated that the event will focus on software rather than hardware.

Last week, we received anonymous tips from two different sources that hint at an Apple media event in late March - possibly March 24th. Apple is said to be announcing a new Mac mini, iMacs with the new NVIDIA chipset, Mac Pros with Xeon processors along with a pleasant 'surprise'. While we have no way of proving the credibility of the sources, recent information that we have obtained has led us to believe that the information may be correct. Here's to seeing a preview of Snow Leopard thrown in the mix!
