I thought these babies went to 3.2GHz. Did I pick that up wrong??

ex ped: You did not get that wrong. They start at 2.8 GHz and go up to 3.2 GHz, per the press release.

The Xserve still says "up to 3 terabytes of memory".

(Does anybody EDIT this stuff? I guess not.)

No blue-ray option? That's something of a disappointment.

Whatever the new products are, the Apple corporate use of their own iPhones seems to have locked down security big time, as no info is out there this year at all! How about paying a dividend on the stock, that would be better than a split.

Am delighted with the announcement of two new Mac productswhen will we know what the other MAJOR innovations are ?

Have heard a rumor about a stock split-any truth to that and when, please.

ex ped: We'll know what the major innovations are next Tuesday when Steve Jobs announces them in his keynote, which begins at 9 am PT (12 pm ET). As for a stock split, I wouldn't hold my breath. –Philip Elmer-DeWitt
