Last week Apple gave us a “sneak peak” to the next version of the Operating System that powers the iPhone and iPod Touch. If it’s as good as it sounds like it is going to be, it could eliminate the need for most people to jailbreak their devices. I’m certainly excited. Continue reading

Apple Rumors
According to AppleInsider and MacRumors, Kevin Rose claims to have knowledge of some updates that Apple will be sending out over the next month or so. Among the rumors are:
- A revamp of the entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to the iPod Touch, with the iPod nano getting a significant redesign.
- iPods to get a significant price cut.
- iPhone and iPod Touch 2.1 Software. Touch to get it first.
- iTunes 8.0
Other than the list of rumors there isn’t much to go on. Though there is a picture of the rumored iPod nano redesign. It’s actually a pretty slick design, and I like it much better than the current “fatty” design of the nanos.
Additionally, iTunes 8.0 is supose to be a “significant” redesign. What exactly that means is anyones guess. Hopefully it’ll include some better filtering of the Apple App Store and better control over Audio Book syncing. Just things I’d find nice.

Rumor: Apple’s MacBook Touch
So the internet has been buzzing about Apple’s planned “product transition” that was mentioned during Apple’s 3rd Quarter Earnings Report. What could it be?
With the success of the of the iPhone and iPod Touch some people think Apple’s next product might be a MacBook Touch. Basically a tablet PC/Mac that operates similar to the iPhone, though with a full version of OSX.
While that sounds really freaking cool to me, I don’t think I’d want one. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone and I’m saving up for a MacBook Pro (for work), but the idea of a tablet doesn’t really strike me as anything more than a novelty. I don’t know, maybe I’d feel different after actually seeing a real product.
To be honest, I’m hoping the ‘product transition’ is something else. Maybe we’ll see Apple enter a whole new arena. TV’s, GPS devices, home theater equipment, console gaming, or something else. The posibilities are endless.
