Big big displays :) And fu Civic if you have posted this before. :P

Well, i'm waiting. And I would rather have a big shiny ipod with a big display than the current one.

Me too, but I'll just upgrade when the time comes.  ;)

The one thing I would want to see Apple improve is offering 640x480 or a low widescreen one. Well, that and a 100GB HD.

I don't know about the whole touch-screen fuss. If Apple truly perfects it, that's good, if not it will be another iPod Nano Scratch styled mess. As for Civic's image, maybe in 2007; for the time being an increase of 10 hour playback is a bit far off... not the fact I don't discredit bluetooth+802 as that is plausibly awesome, yet still semi-unlikely considering infrastructure for on-iPod music stores or the power needed to receive a streamed video at "acceptable quality".

if it's going to look like that, i'm most likely to buy one thats for sure.
even though it might not happened, I think that Apple would make some kind of lense that would make it less scratchable.

And I don't really see the point of Bluetooth2 and Airport, if they aren't going to stream movies with a new airport express thingi.

But some of those things listed seems unrealistic, but still it makes me drool.

That looks like a tablet not an iPod.

my god civic if that first pic you posted turned out accurate... omg hehe. only thing is i think apple would move it all horizontal - ie not keep the same image top, scroll wheel bottom, but shift it to left and right so that the ipod was used in its horizontal form all the time rather than switch between vertical for music and horizontal for vid.

The diagram just above defiantly looks like a tablet and not an ipod i agree with myst. Basically looks like itunes on a tablet.

Maybe the perspective of the image is weird :P So the device itself might be smaller, or the hand bigger. Depends how you see it.

Point being, it might looks like a tablet because the hand is to small to make it a mp3 player.

or what ever.

true the hand makes the scale seem for it to be a tablet... but also for me the dimensions are just wrong, the ratio isn't right - just looks wrong...

then again thats a patent diagram isn't it... and its the interface and the fact its touch sreen that it is demonstrating... so who knows :)

well that tablet looks pretty shweet a touch thick though and things like the curved edges of the lcd screen make me scream fake (unfortunatly heh) ipod video looks very sexy shweet but again, the curved edges of the lcd and the very thin bevel make me unfortunatly not believe it.

if only though... my god can i imagine those things selling like hotcakes on a frosty mornin!

The reason the patent looks like a tablet is cause it has window control boxes. I doubt the iPod is becoming a PDA at this point... well maybe.

Tablet Mac,  mmmmh.

I bet on the name iPod A/V.

A pocket LCD basically, subject to scraches? ect? or will it have something over it.

I would sure hope so...

The Table tooks incredably fake... I won't believe a tablet mac is coming out till I see the keynote.

and yet apple are advertising for a handwriting specalist type person.... Gesture user-interface patents applications and touch screen and interface research you can't help but think that they have some new product in the works.. and its hard to say that a contender wouldn't be a tasty Apple Tablet!

not saying it isnt gonna be... that tablet just doesnt look real.

rgr, totally agree, not real and very unlikely heh. Im getting inpatient for a apple announcement though, i thought there was supposed to be one today?

Are you referring to the one artist rendition of a tablet in this thread No one claims it's real, and the black and white line drawings are patents by Apple, not fantasy.

BTW, I bet Tablets + iPods + 17in MacBook Pro on April 1.... and the 13in MacBook [iBook] feb-march if we are lucky.

well we're off the inital topic but what the hell, take a look at this awsome video of a new kind of multi-sensative touch screen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp-y3ZNaCqs) it blew my mind!!

HOLY SHIT!!!

WHAT THEY DID WITH THE PICTURES WERE SOOOO COOL, RESIZING AND SHUFFLING AROUND - AND THE LAVA LAMP TYPE THING! AND THE MAP! OMG!

I have to catch my breath, I couldn't keep my eyes off.

hehe thought it might make a few eyes explode!! ;) i watched it six times straight, then remembered to stop dribbling over the keyboard and shut my mouth again ;)

Some of those gestures looks like several things apple patented...odd... eh?

Don't you know? This is how the Apple's 'Flurry' screensaver was created. ;)

Somebody said in the comments:


Is this true?

Wish i had the knowledge to say, hardware wise im sure it doesn't take a huge ammount of CPU power, it shouldn't the feat is in the monitor. i can't quite see how the finger would accuratly reflect the llight down through the plate to the apparent webcam however - it dosn't sound accurate enough and from looking at the video the thing is pretty damn accurate. hard to know.

Rendering the 3D map images takes some CPU power I would think, maybe not as much as I think.

rgr true, its pretty googlemap-esk  though. what amazed me was the responce times and how reactive the screen was. i don't understand how a infared sensitive webcam can be used from what you quoted before though as surely it would have to be set back a fair way from the actual screen surface.. so you would have a monitor about 3 feet deep or somthing daft? I have no idea at all but by god a tablet type thingy, or even just a 40inch apple display with that would be well stunning :D

 this reminds me of the movie Minority Report.  So freaking amazing.

this reminds me of Star Trek :P LCARS system

You don't need a 40in. Apple Display BFG for one reason.

You can't afford it. ;)

But BFG already HAS a 40"... :-X

Dude . . ya had to go there . .


heh.

WEEEEEEE HEHE ;)

... Think of how much freaking stuff you could put on a 40" screen... although right now i'd be more than very very happy with a 30" ... or even a 23" as a 2nd screen.

The Feb 28 music event apparently has a iCal-esque calendar icon on the invite... where have I seen that before? Oh yea, that whole transition thing... you know when Steve said it would be done this year, and there was the iCal-like image on the screen. Perhaps another product to make the jump?

[Post here cause events always have iPod stuff too]

And why can't they use the ical icon as a reference to it's a date where something is going to happened?

Even though we all hope for something special, as you said Mysterio.
But why can't it just mean that they want it to look nice or something :P and they use their calendar app to make it pirty.

not so sure this will be an ipod event... they're talking new product... (oh unless its the boombox arrival at last?) ... I want the DVR Mac mini damn it!! ;)

!!!

So iNaru finally SsTFU about TiVo... ;)

Naru told me to shut the f*ck up about the TiVo? eh? i never mentioned it before? what?!

Hmmm imacbook perhaps?

Nono, I meant myself... she keeps nagging about getting TiVo, while I keep telling her that Apple will announce an own solution sometime soon (which I don't know, heh). ;)

Ooooh hahaha. yeah apples gotta give us a TiVo killer, i need, i want, pretty pretty please. would make a pretty deadly duo with itunes and the old video store etc though..

Well, they used a jean pocket when they intro'd the Nano, and a theatre when they did front row and iTunes Music Vids; perhaps look below the surface here.

iMacBook is the worst mouthful of a name ever, how about just Macbook.

Hmmm im kinda betting on new mac mini folks - apparently large orders arnt being taken for them by apple anymore and all suggests point to manufatoring being halted in prep for new models...

fun... wouldn't a macmini with DVR capabilities and Front frow 2.0 be FUN! ;)

If I hadnt sat through a thousand meetings that went exactly like that, that would be REALLY funny.

Looks sweet, that's how I want it to be !

The upper link has actually been 'DMCA'ed by Apple's legal department, causing MacShrine to remove it and at first even shut down the site for a few hours. So... ;)

I don't believe it for a moment - they are just looking for a way to back out of a tight spot and try and make it look legit... and 'DMCA'ed' ... what happend to a good old C&D ?

FAKE FAKE FAKE!! ;)

It was a C&D, with the reason being a break of the DMCA.

Ahh ok... hmm i still call FAKE! ;) there have been to many other pics and websites with those or very very very similar photos and not one has had a C&D slapped on it...

oh, and i just love running around shouting FAKE!! :D

i'm so getting one for my birthday ^^

http://www.macshrine.com.nyud.net:8080/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/4.jpg


Fuck you guysl

HAWT !!!!

FAAAAKE. FAKE FAKE FAKE. Gawd damn it THEY ARE FAKE.

Don't embed a stupidly slow loading POS picture. Now, the MacShrine one has been claimed real by all people who usually yell fake with evidence at AI. It makes sense as a design too... though no iSight.

Right, so I guess in the FUTURE I WILL HAVE EVERYTHING GO THROUGH MYST. HOW ABOUT THAT? WILL THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY ?

Yep it won't annoy me so much hehe ;)

Can you remove the pic and just providing a link to it plz ethion it really is playing havok with the connect.

Its awesome how many *cough* models of these super secret machines made it out into the hands of the cameraphone public...and how many slight shape/detail/proportion discrepancies made it into all of those  official prototypes. Like the absence of any 3 dimensional depth whatsoever in the latest offering.

Someone needs to call quality control....

that chinese/japanese/korean w/e probably says...

"Haha....Stupids for to look for techno vaporware products already!"
