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.

    I can't believe Slashdot got dupped. Oh wait, yes I can. :) Anyway:


    The MacNN forums (www.macnn.com ahem the most reliable) have debunked this as a doctored up Harmon Kardon amplifier and a Microsoft remote control.
