Apple has extended its "Add more life to your Mac" promotion which offers a US$50 mail-in rebate with the purchase Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and iLife '04 until January 10, 2005, according to MacMinute. January 10 is also the first day of MWSF 05. The promo was originially scheduled to end September 25, 2004, but the extension suggests that either a new version of the iLife suite, or the full public release of Tiger could be expected at the show. Apple had noted in June at the Worldwide Developer's Conference that Tiger would be released in the first half of 2005 at a price of $129. With current builds being as far along as they are, it seems the beginning of the year is a possibility for release.
