    Either that or it's bound to be the companion to mightymouse the 'Mighty Keyboard' Every word in the dictionary will be on a roller which just happens to be touch sensitive to make it easier to find what you want.




    Please! I just hate it when people just make up fanciful stuff without thinking it through. Man.



    Dude, the Mighty Keyboard will interface with the apple badge on your forehead, so as you think of words, it'll find the dictionary entry, offer synonyms and such, and automatically enter the words in the document (think about the famous Terminator scene in the hotel room, just like that - which, by the way, was done using an Apple II, I believe I read somewhere).



    Roller with all words on it. Please, that's just lame. How would you find a word if you don't know how to spell it? At least with the Apple badge, it determines it from the phonetics of how it sounds in your head.



    As for the Powerbook G5. Now that's just fantasyland, people!

    Holy crap! What the hell are we all thinking? Obviously he's announcing the merger of Sony and Apple, and Sony's PS3 will use OS X as its engine, and be a suitable mini replacement.



    Geesh, we're looking for lemonade and there's primo iced tea right in front of us (primo as in "well-brewed", not as in "crappy fruity-flavored beverage that people call iced tea but just tastes like piss" that Snapple popularized and now they serve in too many restaurants).

    Dude, get a sense of humour!!



    The mighty keyboard was a seperate idea from the ithink and are not meant to be related



    I just hate it when people try to make fanciful stuff into real world appliances



    Still the Ithink is a top tip

    I doubt that it'll be simple updates and speedbumps, although that could be a part of it. I'm going to go with the theory that it'll be something new, but anything beyond that is pure speculation.



    EDIT: In my opinion, we won't see a G5 PB anytime soon; it's just too close to the intelPB.

    No, no. Steve Jobs said 'next year' when talking about the start of the Intel transition at the WWDC, but he also said shipping products by this time next year (June 2006). So there will be no Intel hardware announced in Paris.



    I think Apple needs do something big as well. I am hoping anyway...

    It should be mega PowerMacs as the last hurrah and to prove Jobs wasn't lying about more G5's. This with even better Xcode, iWork and an Intel update and "just one more thing..." which to me will be most likely a widget viewer.



    Yes an iWidg! A handheld with 4" screen and scroll ball 'a la Mighty Mouse, a Blackberry keyboard and airport card. It would run on a unix base that only ran small widget programs that are evolving into mini iApps as it is!

    What about a dual core Xserve G5? Steve did say there were more G5 tricks up his sleeve.

    The server business really seems the most problematic for Apple when it comes to Mactelling everything. I have no idea what enterprise would think about investing in more G5 servers.

    Not true: Jobs announced the iTMS in Britain, France and Germany in London in June 2004.

    I'm still holding out for the AirPort A/V. Maybe it's still too early, though. iTunes does trailers and videos, but I don't think that's compelling enough content. Streaming iMovies is nice, but I doubt an adoption driver. And then there's the whole composite, component, S-video, DVI, HDMI panopoly of connectors to deal with. But some day wireless video will happen.



    Monster PMacs would be nice.



    Otherwise my crystal ball is clouded.



    - Jasen.

    There is going to be no keynote at Paris. I'm disappointed as I've now got a useless keynote ticket.
