Hmmm, how would you explain that industrial looking robot...? That is not a camera crane!
It'll bet 16:9 and support movies natively.
The bottom will definitely be a place where the bulk of the system is housed ala the iMac.
That's a production line robot..
That's a production line robot. Not a camera or camera holder.

Interesting... Im scared to hear of the price
That is the only thing i fear most.
Time to quite reading...
Well, it is almost 1:00 pacific. It is time to quite looking at the rumors sites and all news sites. Time to just finish the days work and head home. Then, tonight, after dinner, sit back and watch the keynote in all it's glory and get the news just the way the people who attend live see it. Much more fun than reading a bunch of blogs and tweets. Requires discipline though. "Do or do not...there is no try." - Yoda

I never said it was a camera crane. It is used to turn the rig and an industrial rig like that has far more degrees of movement than anything else plus it can safely handle a much heavier item(s). The camera sits back and shoots the movement.
Again, I never said its was a camera holder. The camera doesn't need to move, the rig does. An industrial robot has more degrees of movement. How else can you get all the twisting and turning in so many of the apple commercials you see w/o animation. Again, I've been on shoots before and seen robots like this used to accomplish the crazy motion on products like you typically see in an apple commercial.
I'm not saying this is it but so many people questioned the rig like it was part of the product. I saw the rig as used for a commercial - potentially. If you aren't in the industry you may not be aware an otherwise notice it.
