What Will Apple Trot Out Next?

By Gregory Mone Posted 08.02.2007 at 3:28 pm 7 Comments

As the iPhone-induced buzz surrounding Apple fades slightly, the company might have some more big news cooking, as it has another announcement planned for this Tuesday, according to AppleInsider. It surely won't be as big as its last grand intro, and Apple says it has nothing to do with iPods or iPhones, but that's no reason not to get excited.

One blogger suspects that Apple might be unveiling a tiny new tablet Mac that takes advantage of the iPhone's amazing touch-screen technology. This is just an educated guess; he doesn't actually have inside information. But his rationale makes sense. First, he points out that it wouldn't make a ton of sense for Apple to invest so much time, effort and money into that touch-screen technology and not use it on other products. He also cites rumors of an ultrathin keyboard, which could fit with the tablet computer.

Sounds amazing, but we'll have to wait until Tuesday, at the earliest, to find out if it's true.—Gregory Mone

What doesn't make sense to me is an announcement now for a new line of macs, or revisions to existing lines, when Leopard is still a few months away. Unless of course they are simply announcing the machines now but not offering them till after the new OS launch. Because nobody is gonna want to buy a brand new mac now and then have to fork out $129 for the OS in a couple of months. I would wait and get the whole package once Leopard is out and save $129. So why announce a new machine now? it doesnt make sense.

I'm pretty sure Apple will unveil the 6th generation iPod. Also its most likely we'll see the new minimalistic Mac. After all, the keyboard was seen all over the net. If none of this is shown then we'll see demos of new Leopard applications and features for iLife 08.

a 6th gen ipod does make sense since the iphone pretty much is an ipod. i think they will use all the touch screen technology and unveil a new ipod AND a new mac. they probably were developing everything at one time to have one really big new line up of crazy touch screen stuff.

oh yea i dont really know much about macs or computers in general lol. but just cause a new os is coming out doesnt mean they wouldnt announce the new mac because maybe they will be released at the same time. and even if the mac comes out first not everyone will get the new os unless its alot better then whatever the current one is.

I'd really like to see a new Mini, or two. The current Mini is too slow to be really useful but too expensive to justify such a minimal machine. So I'd like to see the mini go both directions. A sub-500$ Mini, either Atom or dare I say, a PPC chip and a "Mini Pro." I'm thinking half of a full size Pro, one Quad core, 8 gigs of RAM max, 2 internal disks, ect ect. Price that around 1,200$ base and sign me up. As for this "Brick" business, something to "smash windows," Apple backed OSx86? If you can't beat'em, join'em.
