since apple seems to be going back to companies that saved its hide in the past-
pepsi gave us sculley, who got the financial house in order
ibm gave us g3 after the long wait for 604e,
adobe saved the original macintosh line by releasing desktop publishing apps,
maybe steve standing up there with a xerox rep, and talking about a new line of products that were jointly developed. (i know its impossible, just playin'
)
seriously though, aren't there IBM 970 bladeservers in the pipeline for a spring release? we're probably going to see one last shift up the chain in portables.
pb: 15, 17 to 1.42, 12 to 1.33
ib: 14 to 1.25, 1, and 12i to 933.
then in the spring, we'll see new xServes, powerbooks from 1.42g4->1.6g5, and updated ibooks at 1.33 (12i), 1.33(14) 1.42(14 ultimate)
for the stevenote, i'd expect low-end ipods(for pepsi's low-end consumers) and updated pm's, perhaps with a revision B case, supporting multiple optical drives, and since all the reviews seem to harp on the handles cutting into their skin, maybe apple will fix that?
