Unannounced Apple Product Found in Web Logs?

One thing is for sure- There is no up coming product which will be BOTH a competitor in the netbook market based on the cloud-computing model
AND
a Wacom style tablet suitable for professional creative design.
Sorry. Not going to happen. Place your bet, cheer for your horse and hope it wins.
seriously? 1.5 inches thick, that's insane!
i think Apple should just wait till they can do a netbook, that has a C2D proc. that doesn't use as much power, and a thickness of no more than .75 inches.
we all know that they can do it, the macbook air is a clear example, they just need to reduce the screen size to about 11"
of course i also think that netbooks are not crucial, and Apple can obviously survive without them.

Whaaaaa? I'm sure I have no idea what they are talking about. http://upc.*************/uploads/smilies/dogeyes_s.gif
So if I change my Mac Mini's resolution to something ridiculously low-res and mess about with the browser settings, G**gle will pick this up as new hardware?
The words "non" and "story" spring instantly to mind.

I would love this if it had a DVD player but that is probably old technology that Apple will dump.
1) In addition to browser/OS version information from the user agent, just about every decent 3rd party web analytics package will report the screen resolution of your visitors if javascript is enabled in their browser.
2) If we knew the actual details of the user agent, resolution, and visitor(s) IP address we could at least get a much better idea of the validity of this. If the user agent reported an heretofore unknown version of OSX or Safari and the IP address was registered to Apple or at least in the their area, I would be much more willing to believe.
So you are calling the iPhone a "toy"?

Errr... ok.
The Macbook Air is worse than the Macbook in terms of performance, but costs considerably more because it is thin. The Air's battery is very large (although thin).
If Apple were to make an equally thin netbook, you coudn't really put anything inside. At least by today's standards.

Since the resolution is retrieved through javascript, I believe a second HTTP request would be required to store the resolution. I find it very unlikely that any search engines would waste resources and literally double the amount of requests they have to handle just to retrieve resolutions of their viewers. This information could be tagged on to other ajax requests, but it seems to me that they would rely on third parties for resolution statistics rather than waste resources collecting the data themselves.
I think it's fairly probable that this "upscaled iPod" will have mobile versions of Pages (iWork) and iPhoto (iLife)
And Mac OS X on a small-screened and low-powered device isn't exactly useful either. Note that an Apple netbook is likely to have lower specs and higher prices than similar PC netbooks since the Apple version is likely to be much thinner.
Does it really matter if Apple is developing a netbook? When/If it does come out with one it will be significantly more expensive than the Linux based one and everyone here will just whine "it's too expensive, it will never sell."
The huge problem Apple has with a netbook is insuring it doesn't come out with something that cannibalizes MBA sales. So an Apple Netbook would probably resemble the Touch on steroids rather than a shrunken MBA.

Gah, who thinks the NYT has any credibility anyways? Talk about going from 0 to 60 to -10 in about three seconds.
I love this rumor : Someone saw something that shows Apple might have something that is a netbook, but we can't tell you anything about it.
This proves it--there is a new, small Cinema Display made specifically for people going retro. Those res-haters are going to foul up the market with their love of less.

Not a cheap netbook, but a mini laptop! Something along the lines of a 9" Air or 10" MacBook!
The iPhone is already a 'netbook and includes a camera, phone, iPod, GPS, etc...
As for a glass tablet, hmmmm. I like the mockup of the one where the cd/dvd goes into the side. Glass is fine for dialing, texting and emailing on the iPhone. I'm just not sure yet about how touch typing, ergonomics and privacy would translate to a flat and open glass tablet. I guess I'm open to it. Damage is not a concern with the iPhone.

Why wouldn't the user agent be spoofed?
Apple is not stupid -- their folks would certainly realize that a unique user agent would eventually be spotted in the logs. And they also realize that user agents can be masked by spoofing them, and so if they had a super-sekrit project they wanted to keep hidden, they could very simply make it appear to be some existing device.
So, either someone else is spoofing their user agent to give the impression of some super-sekrit (but fake) new Apple device, or Apple itself is creating a bit of stealth buzz. Given Apple, I think the former is far more likely.

You mean a Palm Folio but from Apple?
Knowing how Folio ended from Palm I think it'd be the dumb est approach of the netbook market... OTOH APple is very good at taking someone else's idea and redressing then selling it as its own so who knows...
I would. And do. You cannot actually create or edit anything with it. So yes, that's a toy in my mind.
Heck, you can't even use it as a thumb drive.
