Beyond the Rumors...

Perhaps

Perhaps:

An Apple/McDonalds collaborative project: the iBig Mac

An Apple/Sony robotics experiment: the AIBO DogCow, a.k.a. iMoof

An Apple/Ginsu kitchen appliance: iMac the Knife

An Apple agricultural assistant: iMacDonald

A high-end server for naval applications: G5...you sank my battleship!
 
Saturation.

How 'bout putting up 10-mile range Orinoco Wi Fi towers and partnering with AOL/TW. Complete broadband access from literally any point via iNet.

Add in a simple Web-appliance style device, not quite a PDA but not a full laptop either. The thing'd have modest stats but full Airport and built-in encryption and Banking.

So: iBank
iNet
iGo
It'd stomp M$ flat.
 
ITs Big!

Steve Jobs is a major financial backer of Segway. Apple Design Group has designed a new model called iSnoway. Jobs says it will change the way city governments plow snow, "It's revolutionary, just think, no more shoveling snow, IT just blows it aside...this changes everything...what fun!" Dean Kamen says, "Grandma will never have to get her hip replaced, iSnoway will take her to the mailbox and back, never taking one step on the ice. Think of it as an enhancement on Moon-boots. Steve just keeps coming up with these ideas, I don't know how he does it." iSnoway will have a 20" clearing path, topping out at 5mph with a distance of 2 city blocks per charge. iSnoway has been seen being tested in Buffalo, NY this past week, though no one has been able to catch one on film. IT will sport storage for an optional winter survival kit ($399) and a built-in handy iPod clip. iSnoway is set to retail at $10,399 (not including snow-chains, $399 add-on) and will go on sale starting June at the San Diego, CA Apple Store. Rumor has it, iSnoway will be available "Slush Grey", "Husky Yellow", "Washer-fluid Blue", "Hockey-fight Red" and special edition "Black Ice". I have an exclusive PR photo of iSnoway, follow link below.

iDock?

Dave Winer writes that he's heard that Apple is prepping the iDock:

"... which is a flat-screen on an 802.11a network that moves your desktop anywhere you want to work in the home."

802.11a - a typo?
 
Here it is!!!

IBM and Motorola have developed a 1024 bit processor running at 16 MHz (just like my first Mac) that is 1073.76% faster than a 2.0 GHZ Pentium 4, requires less than 1/100th of the power, generates less than 1/100th the heat, and can be manufactured for about one dollar. Laptop battery life is about 3 days.

imacs/ibooks will get one 16MHz processor, pro Macs get quad (4) 16MHz, and Powerbooks get two. Apple's new graphics card runs using the same design processor, and is 390% faster than GeForce 3 and 420% faster than ATI Radeon 8500.

Anyone who has purchased a Mac within one year qualifies for a "half off" rebate for being a loyal Machead.
 
I know its big...

Why??

Well the Apple ad on the side of the old Molsons Building in downtown Toronto is gone. The iPod ones are still on the sides but the main one is being replaced.

It use to be the Burn...something something ad and its about 20 storeys high. So its gotta be big....

Mabybe an iBrew or an Apple micro-brewery!!
 
iDock

I've been making Mac R&D employees look like they're gonna vomit with guesses like that one. I even got one to blanche, mumble something about confidentiality and make a hastey retreat without finishing his game shopping. This iDea has been around for about two years here in Silicon valley. It is rumoured that M$ will come out with a similar product in 6 months, using the X box as a "base station".
I have ties to some of these developers so I'll just leave names out of this....... Needless to say it's my own research through educated guessing and basic stress analysis. (IE: once you guess close to home all the blood drains out of their faces and they shut up.)
 
Men In Black

The Idea here is to get close enough that I get pulled aside and taken bound and gagged backstage when I go to see the keynote.
 
Way beyond?

Okay, how about this?
How about the G4 cube, or G5 cube with some kind of hologram screen technology where the screen is actually a holographic 3D image projected just above the cube unit.
 
well.. duhh

It's gotta be a portable music video player!!! Like, the ipod with a screen! the ipod was a test to see if people liked the combination of Apple and music!! iPlayer ! It supports all formats and will be synchronized with Quicktime 6(supporting mpeg)!!!
 
OSX on Intel
