Rumor : The Asteroid is Back - macmusicBefore the keynote, the Mac sites firmly mentionned that an audio interface "made in Apple" may be released and this rumour apprently resurfaces. Indeed according to various sites (macgénération, appleinsider), it seems that this famous interface audio (Asteroid ou "Q97") does exist. Our colleagues base their judgement on the resources of the GarageBand 2 application, in which you can find an image file "asteroid.tiff" whose creation date goes back to November 13th 2004. We don't have any information about the progress in this interface project, which could though be a real one since it infuriates Apple when a site mentions it.

To Be Continued...
