If I may...

I had a dream last night, and in it was the following:

a new flat-screen iMac, but with a twist:

The screen was removable.

The body of the iMac was nothing much more than a charging station and dock for the keyboard and mouse (and other devices like removable media / scanner / etc). The "screen" held the cd drive and the hard drive, and a good size keyboard was available on the screen of the unit, like on current palm / Newton devices. Stylus input was availalable, but it was also touch-capable. It even had a retractable hardware keyboard - yeah, not too logical, but it was a dream, right? 🙂

It was networked to the dock by bluetooth/irda/airport of some sort... hmm, now that I'm awake, there's a better idea - why not make the "screen" airport ready, and leave networking off of the dock unit altogether?

Just something to share with you all 🙂

This is exactly what Apple are revealing at MWSF. No retractable keyboard. Airport wireless docking station. Wireless keyboard and mouse too. G4 1GHz.

This is what has never been done to a PC before. The secret is out.
