MacWorld Apple Rumor Round Up: 1/6/08

January 6th, 2008

Apple Rumors

Supposed Keynote transcripts are showing up at the MacRumors forums.

Keynote transcript one: Mac Nano (resdesigned Mac Mini with solid-state drives, Mac Pros with Penryn chips and Blu-Ray, an aluminum Mighty Mouse, and new cinema displays. The “one more thing” is a MacBook Nano.

Keynote transcript two: iPhone SDK, iTunes 8 with movie rentals and eBooks, Mac Pro with Blu-Ray, new cinema displays, new product that mergers Mac Mini and Apple TV, and a new “MacTouch” ultra portable / tablet.

Well, I think it’s safe to say both of these transcripts are fake, but decent educated guesses. I’m not seeing a Mac Nano, aluminum mouse, or eBooks, though.

Of passing interest are some fanboy mockups of what a “MacBook Touch” could look like. While cool, I can already hear screams of pain as screens are scratched on this fantasy product.

For more unannounced fantasy Apple products, check out this series of images at MacRumors. They all seem to have the ultra-wide trackpad fetish.

One may also get some hints of what Apple’s up to by the behavior of other companies.

More rumors to come, I’m certain.

  • Not sure I would see the point of that 'Mac Nano' with a solid-state drive, I don't think size has even been an issue with the Mac Mini/Apple TV - but price has been, and a solid state drive would make that thing very expensive.
  • Yeah, I don't see the point of a Mac Nano either - I have a MacMini and it's pretty darned small already.

    But in related news, Samsung just announced some new flash storage drives at CES. Not sure about the price points, but this could stand some further research. They might be perfect for this ultraportable MacBook.
  • Excellent, 128 gigabytes! I think that is still pretty up in the air - how much storage Apple will want, I would guess 64 GB, but 128 GB at half the power consumption could be very enticing if it's not too expensive (which it may be)...

    There are so many rumors about MacWorld 2008 that some are overlapping with others...which makes it almost certain that Apple will release something like it. However, I guess we'll just all have to wait and see! ;)
