Apple's next big thing

Juniper Foo | Feb 23, 2006

The Apple machine is revving up again. Once again, it's crunch time as the Cupertine team posts teasers to the press on the launch of mysterious, "fun" products. The date: February 28.

Will we be seeing new iPods? Can it be that the "fun" products will include a smart phone or even a table PC? According to Jasmine France from our sister site CNET.com, people are hoping for a new iPod but think it will end up being a PDA or new iBook, perhaps with table functionability.

As usual, Apple's keeping mum with the media. Only this time, instead of hinting at which product it will be targeting, the company has gone even more mysterious by just displaying a picture of a calendar with the date Feb. 28 on the invite and the line: "Come see some fun, new products from Apple."

What we do know is that the MNC has filed a patent for a touch-screen interface for the iPod. So that has at least fueled conjecture that a sixth-gen music player may be in the works.
