Apple.com 'Something in the Air' Teaser

"Air" = "glass"

Hi everybody :)

Tubby from Canada, reporting for duty!

Here's my thoughts, ridiculous as they may be...

"Something in the air" might actually mean "something suspended in glass".

Could this be the return of the G4 Cube??

Okay, okay, maybe not the Cube... but considering Apple is gung-ho on the aluminum & glass these days (iMac, iPhone, NY cube store), maybe they are going to unveil something that is completely encased in glass.

I've seen pics of the new Dell monitors, where the LCD and speakers are floating in a pane of glass... fugly, but neat. Apple could do better... maybe they will.

New ACDs? Hmmm...

We are getting close to iTMS movie tore rentals, and we are due for an AppleTV refresh... perhaps the idea is to make an end-to-end, integrated media experience, and the final piece of the puzzle is a crazy-ass Cinema Display, with ultra-small chassis built in glass to hide as much frame as possible.

I'd still prefer a new Cube, but a killer screen would be exciting too.

Anyhow, I say the "air" is actually "glass"... and the "something" is definitly "something".

Cheers everyone!!

What if this is what is “in the air”… Imagine this… Apple is creating a whole new infrastructure of wi-max. Apple, partnered with Starbucks, plants wi-max radios in a mess-o-Starbucks properties. Creating a new, nationwide, integrated system of high speed internet, and other services (iPhone wi-max?) This would bypass the entire 3G and other systems locked down to various cell phone companies. Imagine, wi-max in every community of any significant size, no matter where you are, at your house, your work, your play space. Imagine all the nifty stuff Apple might do integrating hardware, software and universal access to the cloud. Perhaps it might have enough band width to stream those rumored rental videos on iTunes? I have not the faintest idea of how it might be priced, or who could sign up for it. Would it be limited to Apple hardware? I have no idea how this might work outside the US, either...

This is probably completely fantasy… just thinking….
 
AIR=Apple Itunes Rentals

Do you guys think that the word "Air" is referring to "Apple iTunes Rentals?
 
My 2 cents of pure speculation

Like everyone else I love to speculate about possible products or services revealed at Jobsnotes. "Something in the air" e.g. might relate to:

  • The rumored Apple-JayZ music label cooperation (most disappointing idea)
  • An improved iPhone
  • A revamped Apple TV/Mac mini as the wireless hub of your digital living room
  • The much-rumored new (sub-)Macbook Pro or an iMac-style PC, maybe even with a detachable screen to form a seperate tablet (potentially also with touch technology)
  • Something completely else that no one sees coming

And whatever it is, we can expect a "something in the air" ad with music related to this theme or even with this actual title (by Thunderclap Newman, Bowie, Tom Petty or Fish). Somehow this also reminds me of the music in this old iMac G3 "Colors" commercial:

:eek: What could it be? A MacBook Air display????

P.S. - I took these photos just this evening ;)
 
RE: Photos from 5th Ave Apple Store

Interesting, if they are really redecorating the display space in the stores in relation to today's announcements it must be something that is available either today or very soon after MWSF.:rolleyes:

Makes a new iPhone that would have to be FCC approved in advance less likely, at least as the "one more thing".
 
My guess is that this is reffering to wireless movie downloads, not a new laptop. I do think, however, that all the laptops will get thinner accross the board.
 
'Something in the Air'?
oh my god! apple invented the teleporter! beam me up, scotty!
 
I think apple is merging with a company named cyberdyne. That sounds cool.

i am bored and everyone is too excited....
 
What section of the store is the covered area in? Is it in the laptop section of the store?
 
Intel To Launch 15 Montevina Mobile CPUs with WiMAX Support in May

engadget is reporting that Intel is scheduled to launch fifteen new mobile CPUs based on the Montevina chipset which will support optional WiMAX.

Seven will be for notebooks and eight will be for sub-notebooks and ultraportables.

So could we be seeing a total overhaul of the entire MacBook [Pro] line, plus a new ultra-portable model, announced today and shipping this Spring/Summer?
