It begins at 11:00am, and Apple is expected to release some new goodies.
From Macrumors: Apple's special event (http://www.macrumors.com/2007/03/20/apple-nab-media-event-invites/) at the National Associations of Broadcasters (NAB) will be held this Sunday at 11:00am PDT, 2:00pm EDT. MacRumors will be providing live coverage of the event via MacRumorsLive.com (http://www.macrumorslive.com/).

Apple is widely expected (http://www.macrumors.com/2007/03/02/final-cut-pro-6-final-cut-extreme-details-displays-again/) to introduce an update to its Final Cut Suite, along with a possible introduction of a new high-end product named Final Cut Extreme. ThinkSecret has also mentioned a possible display update at or around NAB, and believes the 17" MacBook Pro may be updated to include a high definition display.

Apple's displays have not seen specification updates for quite some time, although they did see a price drop last week (http://www.macrumors.com/2007/04/04/apple-discounts-cinema-displays/).

But I am hoping for new macmini, Imac and most of all new line of ACD!

Cheers
Vlad
