Merlin Mann | Jan 8 2007
Of all the speculation and Steve-watching over the past few weeks, the recent chatter about an Apple "nano-computer" may be the most interesting and thought-provoking of the bunch. Bob Snow writes:
And here I was conservatively predicting/begging-for (@00:51:04) a 12” MacBook Pro by next year. Always thinking too So, what's your guess? What will Steve's E-ticket ride be at Macworld this year? 29 Comments

 We will see an iphone,...Submitted by Cameron mulder (not verified) on January 8, 2007 - 9:20am.
We will see an iphone, which i will bet will be called Mac-Moblie, it will have the striped down version of OS X, and integrate seamlessly with your mac. Will work with a windows PC also, but only with iTunes. So if you really want one, you need a mac also. The laptop line will see integrated GPS, mostly likely just in the pro line. iTV will be finalized. Called MacTV. The Real Video iPod will be released. Movies from FOX studios will be put on iTunes, along with the Beatles (with special limited edition beatles ipod). Might see another studio also Panther will be talked about, and it will be VISTA 2.0 .Mac will be upgraded, most likely with the help of google, also might be FREE (maybe with some ad support of some type, think gmail like) Something to do with the gaming world will be hinted at, but not talked about directly. As you can see, this will be huge. Here is why the Mac-Moblie will be so good, everyone with a mac will want one (millions of people). The MacTV will be good enough that most people with a mac will want one (millions more) Panther is pretty amazing upgrade, pretty much everyone with a mac will want it (millions more) new iPod will be just as popular as the old one. (even more money, since everyone is a brand new shiny ipod will want to upgrade right away) Lots more content on iTunes. This really should be one hell of a year for Apple. I think it will be mostly focused on consumer goods like the Mac-Mobile, iPod, and MacTV. 2008 will be the serious upgrade year for the computer line up. » POSTED IN:
