MacRumors reports that a post in Apple’s Discussion Forums from Senior Product Line Manager for Photo Applications Joe Schorr hints heavily at Aperture 2.0, and soon.

As I’m sure many of you know, it’s not Apple’s policy to provide a public “ETA” on future releases, so I can’t post anything like a timetable for when support for the newest RAW camera formats will become available.

But I can tell you this. We at Apple are ACUTELY aware of the pressing need to get support for the newest round of camera into your hands as soon as possible. This is a top priority. We have members of our own team using these cameras, so you can imagine how interested we are in seeing this support integrated into the Mac OS and our photo applications!

We fully intent [sic] to give our customers what they need in this regard.

MacRumors also says that various sources indicate Aperture 2 in the coming weeks, one going as far as to say next week.

Could this be a photo of the rumored ultra-portable laptop to be released at MacWorld? You never know…

This image, posted to a MacRumors forum thread by a brand new user “greenrabbit,” depicts a current generation MacBook Pro alongside a much thinner, but otherwise identical notebook, save for that wonderfully horrible-looking (multi-touch?) trackpad.
