Rumours are flying around again like always. I've put together this short list of recent ones which have come true, ones which are likely to come true, and ones which are crap.
True:
iMac updates
Likely:
Movie service
New Nanos
iPod w/ video spec bump
Possible:
Apple cell phone
Video "device" for your living room
Crap:
Apple buying or merging with Sun/Google/Nintendo/etc
Go ahead and put in your $.02 as to what you expect Apple to release in the near future.

Ya that's true, I edited it to reflect the stupid buying/merging rumours which never come true

I don't think we'll see an Apple cell phone any time soon (ie. in 2006).
I'm not buying the video device rumours either, even though I'd be interested in one. That is, if it's a standalone box... I could see a Video Airport Express or something like that though.

I think a streaming video device a la Airport Express is possible, perhaps inevitable, which is why I put it under the likely heading.

I predict new MB and MBPs won't be worth talking about. I predict 80GB iPod and 8GB nano and 2GB shuffle.
I predict a movie store.
I predict a lot of arguing following the expo between doomsayers and optimists.
Yours

Let's not forget the massive onslaught of whining when killer new products are released.

This is finally the event where Apple announces they are going out of business.

Yeah, then Gates will start another company with technology from 1995. And call it: Doors: 2010, as stupid as it sounds, you know he would only get richer for it. You know why? Because he's Gates, stupid people have respect for him.

I miss the days of the G5 and XPS Pentium 4 running side by side as high-end machines.
