30th Anniversary Guessing Comp!

Knowing Apple it must be:
1) a new technology
2) have a very high growth rate
3) be a marketing challenge

What about an Apple medical device for elderly people ?
 
I doubt this is it, but I'm going to guess the iGame. A portable handheld gaming device.

I rather it be a Newton Rebirth, but I doubt that too.
 
OK OK, since my copyright was a late arriving one, my official guess is the Ipod with built-in wireless connectivity. i.e with a browser built in 802.11g......it's coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think a Power Mac just for me. It will compete with the high end Dell Intels going around. Then I am happy as I can buy one. Go look at the Dell high end Specs and you will see what is coming soon. Powered by Intel and I bet a totally new look that will surprise us all - but it will be a tower and not an iMac design.

It might be software over hardware. It could be they have things in the pipeline there also.

While everyone screams iPod I bet it is not, I bet it is in the computing business.

What if it is OSX replaced by vista with Bill Gates as a special guest. Oh how I would laugh; then jump of a bridge.
 
whatever it is, it will have its own commercial that causes controversy of some kind.

For Apple's sake, I hope they do release something big like a new iPod or tablet mac. People got so hyped up about the "fun new things" event, they couldn't go through another disappointment!

They'll give it to him who guessed that nothing would be released. :)

iPhone ... *ducks* ... no, seriously, they could do it and the recently publicised patents point in te direction of a handheld device that is more complex than an iPod. So, it could be a NewNewton, smartphone/pda/iPod device, which is easy to use thanks to the touchscreen which emulates "physical" controls like a number pad or a scrollwheel. Like the TAM was an advanced, expensive novelty item, the Thirtieth anniversary ceremonial gadget will also probably be something non-standard, so I don't expect the announcement of "regular" intel PowerMacs or iBooks as special item for the anniversary. No, it will be something quite extraordinary, like the long rumoured iPhone/pda/touchscreen iPod.
 
Why not just go for an all-in-one thing? With all this talk of touch-screen gubbins and the like, they could just pull something out of the hat that does all of these things:

1) "Proper" Video iPod.
2) iPhone
3) iNewton (you see what I did there?)

It'd sit beyond the top end of the iPod range and be called the i-something.

i was close :p , but don't need another email account, so feel free it issue it to someone else. i was truly shocked that it didn't even get a mention on the home page. april fools on us.
 
Apple gave us an 10.4.6 update for their birthday. and i was listening to TWIT earlier today, and all of the first Apple Staff don't think it's all that much of a big deal either....
 
Steve Jobs is. He's in his office with his 6G iPod video (80 GB) watching the high-res version of Lost season 3 and all the while he works happily on a prototype Mac Pro. :)
