Well they're a gonna announce SOMETHING tomorrow! (along with the MS "origami" announcement soon) Only official word is something "fun". Hey I like fun shitz. Hopefully it's a TIVO killer in the form of an updated mac mini.
Apple is supposed to be working on a phone but most people assume that tomorrow's announcement - if it includes an iPod element at all - will either be a full-screen video iPod with touch screen and/or some kind of Apple-spun iPod boombox. I'm a bit doubtful about a new video iPod since the "old" one isn't that old yet. The boombox seems likely but the biggger announcement will probably be iTunes for Movies and/or Intel powered iBooks.
Ironically, wifey works for Apple, in marketing no less, but she refuses to tell me a goddamn thing b/c she likes her job and doesn't trust my message board-visiting, incessant-blogging self to keep my mouth shut without anything confidential.

Well you're doing a good job proving her wrong there!
My cousin in law works for MS and my bro is at Sun, so yeah, I know the pain. So close yet so far.

Is that origami box confirmed? or still inthe rumor mill, just wondering?
Nothing's confirmed. Just speculation. Apple's been surprisingly good at keeping people guessing: most of the rumor mill gets at least one item right but there's always something up their sleeve that people don't see coming.

Actually I was talking about the microsoft Origami. MS doesn't have nearly as good a track record about keeping secrets from the public. I have a longhorn disc around here somewhere as proof.
Origami seems plausible. MS has always been big on tablets. Supposedly will have wireless, decent battery life, run an actual version of windows (versus a stunted one), and come with a $500-800 price tag. This was "accidentally" posted on the website of an ad agency who handles a lot of MS work in the past. You tell me, won't know for sure til tomorrow PM, but it looks too big budget to be just a rumor.

game gear was the shit for the longest time. playing sonic the hedgehog for about 45 min, then having the 6 AA batteries die on you. man, those were some of the best 45 minute intervals of my childhhod.

i was always a nintendo kid... except for gamegear. That shit rocked my world. That and a hot wheels car case in the shape of a RACING CAR (ingenoius!) pretty much iconise my childhood.

"While Origami is a concept we've been working on with partners, please know that the video seen on Digital Kitchen's Web site is a year old and represents our initial exploration into this form factor, including possible uses and scenarios," a Microsoft spokesman said.

If it's MS, it'll be full of bugs for 6 months, then you'll have to upgrade 10 times in 6 months for an operating system that's only half as good as OS X is right now.
Yes, i'm an Apple snob and hate PCs with pride... lol

MAC = Empty Pockets
PC = Pockets stay fat, plug-ins are free and easy
But, stick with your mac. Even if you can't upgrade without paying an arm and a leg at least you'll have a pretty shell to look at.

Another company even owns the rights to the name "iPhone". This rumor has been going around for years.
Oh shit. My bad, I guess iFucked up.

damn, that hurts my pride that it's not an Apple product, but if it were it would cost well over $1500. That is sersiously hot if they pull it off.
I noticed a funny about the ad though. The girl in the RV is running a copy of Apple Logic on her desktop.
that ad/product is truely
Why have i not heard of this?
i was always a nintendo kid... except for gamegear. That shit rocked my world. That and a hot wheels car case in the shape of a RACING CAR (ingenoius!) pretty much iconise my childhood.
***Which was released MANY years after the Game gear.
SHINOBI, DUN!
man, i want one of those so bad...
let's talk about childhood iconization:
I can still get em, you might have to wait a while though.
Neo Geo $39.95
Apple announcement: 10AM pacific
Microsoft announcement: this evening?

True that. $40?! I gotta jump on that. I can't believe what the OG Neo Geo STILL sells for.
That's like 2000 price point. I can get em for half that, but eh...
