"Revolutionary, innovative and different... and a pleasure for the eye" that's how Apple describes its new product that will be reveiled January 7 at the Macworld Expo. the article also says that Apple expects that the impact of the new product will be enormous!

Oh, come on...

We all know that come January 7th, Apple will be introducing the iMac2 with a LCD monitor. It's conceivable that Apple might also announced another product to add to their digital hub philosophy (PLEASE MAKE IT A PDA!), but the iMac2 will be the star of the show.

Exclamation Here we go again...

... with the rampant speculation.

There has been no confirmation of any PDA, iMac2, or any other product, and I haven't even seen any other Mac news site make mention of this announcement that Apple has made -- I remain mostly skeptical about it. And while the release of the iMac2 at MWSF is more likely than MWNY in July, I wouldn't bet on it being released. The thing that I _can_ guarantee with almost 100% assurance is better Power Macs.

Beyond that, I would suggest taking any rumors with a pound of salt. Let's not MWSF be another MWNY '01.
