    If it is way beyond these boards... what the hell are they up too? I mean we can come up with some wild stuff here.



    IBM Power4? Quantuam Based Comupters? Apple switches to AMD? G5? Everythings is upped? OS X runs on windows PC's? Man Steve I know your second only to God when it comes to pulling miracles out of your arse but...

    I'm pretty sure they are implying that it will be a new product no one has thought of or brought up yet.

    I think we are getting a G5 PowerMac, G4 LCD imac, and a new product

    Is there any doubt there will be a G5 now? I don't think so.

    I agree. Something to do with video and MPEG-4, maybe?

    Ok, everybody laughed when I posted my (reasoned) predictions a few days ago. I should be the one laughing now. Check them out again at:

    Maybe I should up the ante even, to play it safe.

    Kins, I still laugh at your WAY TOO optimistic wishful thinkuing. However, consider the PowerPod (in a thread I just started).

    Anyone seen the ads for the new Nokia product that is a phone/PDA device...it actually looks sweet...imagine having the same thing, with a smaller footprint, not quite as bulky, and it serves as wireless phone, PDA, iPod, home entertainment remote, etc. etc.?



    Except with the Apple "style," I wonder if they could pack in firewire, 10 GB HD, the oft-discussed "OSX Lite," (iTunes Lite, iMovie Lite, QT Lite, etc). Maybe Apple would have a partnership with Sprint or someone to offer the phone service?



    I know crappy idea, but this is too much fun. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    When I first saw it I said to myself, "Apple can't be refering to us...wait....wow."

    All I can say is that Apple had better deliver.

    Oh my... Apple better live up to the hype or a lot of us will have trouble trusting it (disrespectful?) again, and future MacWorld's won't feel the same anymore. Somehow I feel that there will be a new digital-hub device but no G5s shipping.

    this is unprecedented.



    They are actually targetting *us* in these "teasers". Wow.



    I think this is going to be the mother of all Macworlds.



    "MWSF2001. Not your daddy's MacWorld."



    This is HUGE...

    OK, so they dont think we can crack it, huh? I have seen mobile phones, G5-G7, portables, wireless. It's beyond this?



    I havent seen anything about a service yet on the messageboards. I think they will enhance the iTools-section to a bigger more integrative service package that isnt usable to the full unless you have a Mac. I dont mean that it will be the same as iTools, just that it will integrate iTools in a much bigger system.



    A service that Apple could provide in cooperation with the media-society, like AOL. Like some kind of media distibution network. Microsoft has their network with the media. Why shouldnt Apple have theirs, only a lot better? With a lot more helpful options,



    This service could be connected to some media device that can be used to convert media types from different sources, like VCR, TV, old LP:s.



    the service can be used from anywhere, but only if you have bought a device with apple. Maybe as a USB device that make a PC to a MAC!

    If they deliver G5 powermacs and G4 iMacs, I will be sufficiently blown away. And most rumor sites are predicting that G5s aren't ready, and iMac will get G3s. I think Apple is talking about the rumor site predictions, and not the rumor message boards. Just a thought.

    Each slogan has made me more surprised than the one before it. What will tomorrow be? :eek:

    they're pretty confident they're onto something.



    And to tell you the truth, with the games Apple is playing, anything is possible...
  • Reply 279 of 1761
    Well one thing is for sure, Apple has some balls.





    I agree with JD that they are referring to rumor site publication not discussion board speculation...



    I mean quad g5 in an iPod form factor with wireless 3D imaging lasers is not likely at this time.

    What better time could they have to release the new Newton?
