PowerPod

Feel free to rant if this has already been suggested. Wouldn't the next iPod type product be the PowerPod? Here's what I think it could be - there's been a lot of talk about a set-top box. I think it could actually BE a TV. Basically an iPod but instead of the small LCD display, it has a full fledged gorgeous detachable flat screen. So all this talk about the iMac having a detachable tablet monitor - maybe what is really going to be released is a PowerPod - a TV with a detachable monitor - base station has firewire and SuperDrive. Hook it up like a regular TV - coax/RCA is all there, plus firewire/bluetooth/airport etc.



Question is, how much would it be?

    Good idea. And Apple could price it to go at $3999. <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" />



    Alternatively, you could just go and buy a damn iBook and when you want to ogle at the boob tube, go into your living room and watch the regular television (priced to go at $300).



    Hrrmmm, that's a thinker!

    I like that Apple leaves the nomenclature open for an advanced *Pod device, but JYD is right.
