New Product Name Guess Roundup
Okay, so people all around the interweb are coming up with all these ideas for names of what Apple's new products will be. I wanted to create one thread that everyone here can put their final guesses for what these products will ACTUALLY be called (if released).
IMPORTANT: It's not a prediction on whether it will be released, just what it'll be called if it is.
Reply the list below, changing your guesses. Add whatever products you think I missed.
"iPhone": iPod chat

Wide-touchscreen iPod: iPod theater
Tablet: MacPod
30th Anniv. Mac: Mac 30

- Apple's spreadsheet app will simply be called either Numbers or Spreadsheet. Fact!
- 30th Anniv. Mac: "Apple's Most Expensive Computer You'll Ever Own", or AMECYEO!
- Levitating networked carpet: "iFloat"
This is fun, yet fruitless.

"Smart phone:" iPod SmartPhone®
"iTV:" Teleport® or Showtime®
Fullscreen iPod: iPod Movie®
Tablet: Mac Tablet®
30th Anniv. Mac: Not gonna happen. (But If it did it would be a 25" Black iMac with LED LCD screen, and 2.66 Core 2 Duo with Up to 4 Gig of RAM, a hefty graphics card, and a 30Watt internal digital amp)
Spreadsheet app: Somehow this will still be still called Numbers®
Database app: iData®
And if they want to give us an app. solely for the purpose of making charts, we all know what that will be called: Very light-weight app. called Charts®
"Music phone:" iPod Phone®
"Smart phone:" iPod SmartPhone®
"iTV:" Teleport® or Showtime®
Fullscreen iPod: iPod Movie®
Tablet: Mac Tablet®
They're good, but need to be lower case. Apple is anal about that!
I'm still holding out for iPod communicator® for the phone. (For reasons, see this thread.)

Drool. 8)
But an anniversary Mac would have to be made of metal rather than plastic, wouldn't it? Metal has far more class.

That makes sense, although I also heard the name "Lasso" around.
Database app: iData®
I don't if Apple would make a database. Filemaker, Inc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple, and Filemaker has a decade long reputation as a very Mac-like, easy to use database. Why not just bundle that?
And if they what to give us an app. solely for the purpose of making charts, we all know what that will be called: Very light-weight app. called Charts®
I hope this functionality will be included in Numbers®.
"iTV": Showtime
Wide-touchscreen iPod: iPod
Tablet: Newton
30th Anniv. Mac: iMac Special Edition

Database app in iWork: MacSQL
yep just about exactly right IF they bring one out
althought would there be the variation iPod Phone and iPod nano Phone ?? i doubt it, more likely to be something else we havent heard yet
Apple Phone: MacPhone
"iTV": Showtime
Wide-touchscreen iPod: iPod
Tablet: Newton
30th Anniv. Mac: iMac Special Edition
Spreadsheet app in iWork: Cells (this reminds of science -not sreadsheets) MacAdder?
Database app in iWork: MacSQL
Apple Phone: MacPhone -doable- Maybe iCall, MacTunes?
"iTV": Showtime (trademark infringement on the TV network?) Maybe Primetime?
Wide-touchscreen iPod: iPod (why mess with a good name?) anyway-- 16:9Pod, WidePod?
Tablet: Newton (perhaps legacy baggage to overcome?) Isaac, son_of_newton, iPad, MacPad??
Spreadsheet app in iWork: MacAdder?
Database app in iWork: maybe MuSQL? (since it'd be light and powerful ~muscle/muscular)
bleh....
It fits with the original mac ads
Say hello again!

I don't think you have a chance of being right with any one of those suggestions. Try again.

30th Anniv. Mac: iMac SE
Spreadsheet app in iWork: Numbers
Database app in iWork: DatabaseMaker
Multimedia creation tool: Hypercard 3.0 (Ok this one is wishful thinking)
What about Hello for the iphone?
It fits with the original mac ads
Say hello again!

Or "shay hello to ma leeddle friend!" under a caption of a once bitten Apple gunning down a paper clip.
"iPhone": iPod with phone
"iTV": Eclipse
Wide-touchscreen iPod: videoPod

30th Anniv. Mac: iMac SE

DatabaseMaker is the lamest product name I've ever heard for an Apple product. Eclipse doesn't make any sense, videoPod is wholly unoriginal, iMac SE doesn't have the Apple spark, Numbers is probably right.
