I know that a lot of things apple has been doing has been going towards the "digital hub of your digital life" direction. Plus iTunes, iPod, & other consumer devices. I think we are all over looking a brand new technology that has been getting primed for launch..... XM!!!!
I think it would be genius of apple to include XM tech into any new iBooks or PowerBooks they announce. It would be a huge selling point to all the roadies out there, coffee house crowds, and people using the Macs in the middle of nowhere....
XM being a new radio format like FM & AM but is broadcast via satalite and can be picked up anywhere in North America. Plus maybe adding GPS built in to the new portables?????
