In a news.com story, Apple has invited journalists via email to Apple's headquarters next week for the release of some "fun new products."

Differing from previous invitations, Apple gives no hint as to what the expected releases are going to be - only the date of February 28th on a calendar.

Wooo..... what could that be? Sounds fun, though.

Will it use a multi touch user interface perhaps? The iPod video thing?

pcmeissner · Feb 21, 2006, 01:11 PM

iCal icon. hmmm.

silvergunuk · Feb 21, 2006, 01:12 PM

iPod EXTREME!

Perhaps Asteroid finally sees the light of day. I know that I have been waiting for that before I deceide what type of Firewire breakout box I finally get.

Nope. It's been confirmed by CNet and iLounge.

Fun? Perhaps something to do with entertainment, such an Airport Express w/ video or a Viiv based cinema display... Or (and this is a long shot) the fabled gMac game console.

gregarious119 · Feb 21, 2006, 01:16 PM

Finally...something to get the buzz started again. These quiet little Tuesday updates were becoming too "typical" of Apple

Can't wait to see what NEW products they are

Stella · Feb 21, 2006, 01:16 PM

iPod related, no doubt.

iBook?

nsknike · Feb 21, 2006, 01:17 PM

Well it says a "new" product, so maybe it is actually something new that they haven't released a previous version of. Hopefully a taplet.

kinless · Feb 21, 2006, 01:17 PM

It's that iPod Invisa.

He's thrilled about this.

psycho bob · Feb 21, 2006, 01:19 PM

Am I the only one who has been underwhelmed by previous Apple announcements like this?

I'm not expecting anything spectacular especially not with the catch line 'fun new products'. I would love to see new macs but I suspect it will be consumer software or ipod/itunes related... yet again.

CubaTBird · Feb 21, 2006, 01:20 PM

and so here we are.. at mac os x 10.4.5 and iCal still says jul 17 when not opened... *tear.. porque apple? porque?

raster · Feb 21, 2006, 01:20 PM

I think this is what everyone has been waiting for!!!!!!
After reading all the speculation on this site, they have decided to give all us Mac geeks every product we could possibly imagin... Thanks Apple

OR Maybe they will cancel the Macbook line since it's been out so long (It's already obsolete you know) And give use something new.
Sorry to all you new MBP buyers...

Mord · Feb 21, 2006, 01:20 PM

better be in the 600 quid range and able to replace my ageing ibook.

Carl Spackler · Feb 21, 2006, 01:21 PM

iVirii 06?

someone had to do it.

pknz · Feb 21, 2006, 01:22 PM

Im guessing iPod accessories? Maybe even new iPod thingamajig™.

Thanks for that

They could sell them in packs of three like that condom parody... think i saw that don't think I made it up

macintel4me · Feb 21, 2006, 01:23 PM

This clearly has to do with more Video stuff. I bet it's the Video Airport Express along with maybe in an iPod accessory (or accessories). Total speculation on my part, but that's why we are all here.

EricNau · Feb 21, 2006, 01:23 PM

This seems unlike Apple.

I'm not expecting much - maybe a new color set for iPod socks.

capone2 · Feb 21, 2006, 01:23 PM

im guessing something to do with VIIV tech!!
