Hmm. The plot has thickened since this last thread:

Myself, I think it's an iFlowerpress.

I think apple will definitely announce something new in the next year or so (they always do :P) but I'm not getting my hopes up that'll be anything I want, especially since if I want it the chances are high that it won't be available outside the US :P Wtb iphone!

Apple is annoying because all their products are so sleek and shiny. It makes it ridiculously easy to photoshop up devices and fill us with false hope. It would be great if apple did eventually develop a reader though. They've already got music and movie distribution figured out, so it stands to reason that they'd be good at books too.

Colour me cynical, but, just thinking, if I had an "Itunes store", and I wanted to generate a massive about of buzz for my store, what could I do to have twelvety gajillion fanboys and gizmo-freaks hitting it for a look-see? See, when you ask if it's the next product, or just a generic icon, I'd offer a further option:

3. the PR department of this store, for their nefarious effort, will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.



Cheers,
Marc

Well, all I know is that for me, the iPhone and iPod Touch are a bust. Appl hasn't released anything I actually want in a very long time.

It looks like the header graphic is made by the company, not Apple. If you look at the iTunes U section of iTunes there are many different styles and types of header graphics made by the universities. Most likely the designer for this company needed a generic graphic to represent an ipod and got this from a place like istockphoto or made it himself.

Are you telling me iFrag refrigerator magnet isn't real?? Man, am I bummed. There's a small area in one corner of our refrigerator that doesn't have anything covering it yet and I was hoping to fill that gap. Guess I'll have to ask the kids for another picture.

No. The fridge magnet is definitely real. I've seen industry studies that show the food refrigeration container external decorative magnetic adhesive market is underserved and a great growth opportunity.

I'm sure Apple is just waiting for the WWMRDDC (World-Wide Magnetic Refrigeration Device Developers Conference) for the big unveiling.

Just as I was getting ready to buy

The Mac tablet rumor has been bouncing around for a few years now, And just as I am getting ready to purchase a new MACBOOK PRO I predict that the day after mine ships apple will announce a new tablet.. I kicked around the Axiotron MODBOOK but decided against for various reasons. So I hope that this will all blow over and if not Maybe I can put my new MBP on my frig.

So that's what they've been waiting for: for you to buy something so they can make you wail in anguish that you bought too soon, jerryleejr!

Well? Aren't you going to rush out and buy now to put poor vivaldirules out of his misery?

Yes, please do!

Really, I can barely understand why Apple does not already sell a tablet or slate. It seems to be such a natural extension of laptops and ipod touch devices to create something smack in the middle with the benefits of both. Who would not want one and why wouldn't Apple sell one?
