From Mac OS Rumors
Firewire 2 (800Mbps) has been the focus of much development effort recently at Apple; several new Macs and at least one new Digital Lifestyle device will feature 800Mbps FW amongst the Macworld January releases, and we could see as many as two or three more by April.
If you think the 23-inch Cinema HD Display is big, try a 30-inch model! Apple is planning extremely large displays with this resolution and perhaps even an enhanced one in the 30-inch version. It could be up to a year before we see the two monster screens Apple is working on, but the first of them might come at any time. In the near term, widescreen 17 and perhaps 19-inch displays are due in advance of the holidays.
Changes to Apple's display lineup seem at most a month away; perhaps that along with a digital lifestyle product that could also use those displays and the Xraid (perhaps even an updated dual 1.25GHz Xserve?) will be the big November releases. The Superdrive-equipped Powerbook G4/1GHz based on 0.13-micron G4s similar to the 7457 will have to wait for January, apparently.

Miriam Geller showed the next version of Director for the first time. It's not formally announced yet, so there's not yet an estimated ship date or published feature set. It was running in Mac OS X native as well as Windows, and used an MX-style interface. SWF launch-and-edit was shown... just as you can use Fireworks within Dreamweaver and don't have to manage different sets of authoring and deliverable files, Director can invoke Flash to directly edit embedded SWFs... faster, smoother. Screen reader accessibility was shown which does not require a dedicated screen reader, it's all built into the app, cross-platform, with control over which items are read and in what order. This is also pretty close to delivery, although I haven't seen a ship date committed to in print yet.

Invites Miriam Geller, Director Product Manager. She shows a CD-Rom created with Director (trio motor company example). Shows Flash integration, ability to integrate closely with operating system (read and write to the system, launch apps, read registry, check for install apps, etc...). Shows video, which can run full screen (this is QuickTime video running within Director). Talks about loading dynamic data, and the ability to use Flash assets and files within Director.
Opens new version of Director (running on OSX). User interface is similar to other Macromedia products. Shows edit and launch from Director to Flash (double click asset in Director, flash is opened. Edit the file, save and go back to director and changes have been included) (applause).
Discusses Accessibility. Built into Director, works without screenreader, so can work in executables and CD-Roms. (shows screen reading feature). Shows how this is authored.
