Would they make it completly by themselves or would someone like ford or whatever help them?
What about an iCamera (still and/or video)? With wifi to transfer to your Mac, iPhone style OS X to allow you to email images, upload to a photo gallery, backup with .Mac or possibly edit in iPhoto/iMovie.
Didn't they make a film camera in the early 90's that failed significantly? Around the same time as the newton.
Newton II.
But that would be like the iPhone without the phone and without the iPod.
that would be like boring
or they could make a ultra portable macbook.that would be like boring
Yeah, but the macbook is already in their product line. That would be like the touch, it's an iPod after all...
oh then i'll change the name ultra-portable thing that does things, many things and even faster when you upgrade the ram.
Maybe they'll go back to Printers?? or remake the ipod Hi-Fi ??
TVs. I mean, wouldn't it rock for them to be able to say 'OK, Apple TV...do you want an Apple TV too? Um....'
I think you could probably just look at Sony (the company Steve Jobs seems to have modeled Apple after in recent years) and see future products:
They've already got:
Computers
MP3 Players
Mobile Phones
Digital Recorders
LCD Displays
That leaves:
Digital Cameras
Camcorders
Printers
Video Game Consoles
GPS
Stereos
Voice Recorders
Televisions
I could *easily* see any of these being released by Apple.

The next thing I would like to see them work on is expanding the AppleTV. It has so much potential and is only missing a few features to really make it take off; HD content, some type of DVR ability, able to stream to it from iPhone/iPod.
You could be right, it does has some sense, but I still don't see Apple doing theese things, it just feels wierd, but after the renaming this could be a fact.
One thing to cosider is just because Apple's tried digital cameras and printers in the past and stopped making them doesn't mean they'll never attempt it again.
They had the Newton, afterall, and now we have the iPod Touch and perpetual rumors of a PDA...

I just remembered, wasn't there that whole Asteroid thing, the music recording device, similar to a Digi Box? I remember there being rumors a while back and Apple telling websites to remove pictures.
Not forgetting that they won't allow the engine to be tuned. If someone does it'll disable the car. Then people can whinge that it's Apple's fault.
