Apple iWalk: Mac OS-X based PDA?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the holy-cow-that-looks-sweet dept.

Per Wigren noted that SpyMac claims to have pictures of the iWalk, the mysterious secret project scheduled to be announced any time now. It is apparently something between a subnotebook and a PDA running a scaled down OSX. Supposedly it can be a portable MP3 player, and it has apple's airport stuff built in. CT Nope. They announced the iPod instead, a lame MP3 player.

    Perhaps thay don't actually USE the Macs -- notice the DELL parts bag under the pack of smokes? Maybe they actually use PCs whenever Jobs isn't looking!

    I'm a patient man. I'll wait for three years until the units are not only ten times as good as they are now, but a twentieth of the cost.

    I would appreciate it if the rest of you would fund R&D by buying first gen systems though.

    Reporting on rumors is fine, they're even entertaining. However when the real device is going to be unveiled in a few hours its a bit pointless. Besides, everybody knows its going to be the iBrator!

    Not to mention that I doubt Apple would make anything with buttons that tiny so close together.


    Actually, seeing how this is Apple, it's doubtful that there would even be more than one button. Ya know, too confusing for the target Apple market and all. ;)

    Apple's rabid lawyers haven't forced them to take it down yet, therefore it can't be real

    Why not call it the eWalk instead?

    Imagine an Apple ad campaign with little furry creatures running around the forest carrying colorful translucent PDAs.
