By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac August 22, 2001 Apple announced Tuesday that CEO Steve Jobs will keynote the opening of Apple Expo 2001 in Paris. Steve Jobs will be heading up the opening keynote at the Palais des Congres in Paris. Apple Expo 2001 will be held at the Paris Expo in Porte de Versailles, September 26-30. Most unusual for a SteveNote, Apple has telegraphed some of its content. Usually shrouded in secrecy, the Apple Expo looks to resemble much of the Macworld Expo in New York. Apple has announced that no new hardware will be announced at the show. Instead, Jobs looks to recap much of Apple recent announcements. "My keynote will focus on Mac OS X v10.1, the super-fast new version of Mac OS X, and our revolutionary new iDVD 2 software, which lets users create their own custom DVDs that can be played on consumer DVD players," said Steve Jobs. "This has been an incredible new product year for Apple, so we don�t plan to launch any new hardware products in Paris this year." Analysis: Rumors of updated laptops and new flat-panel iMacs are again swarming. Perhaps after last month's grumblings, Apple decided to preempt the rumor sites in hopes of not scaring off customers for the second half of the fiscal quarter. One thing that may be announced could be Mac OS 10.1, as September 26 would be the tail end of Apple's promised September ship date. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
