Apple To Introduce Video iPod?
xombo writes "iPoding and Mac Rumors as well as eWeek newsletter and Reuters seem to think that Apple will be introducing either a video-capable iPod -or- even better a Tablet Mac which may run into direct competition with Microsoft's similar product.
"The one thing you can say for sure is that they do have a lot of product out there right now and they're going to be hesitant to draw too much attention away from their existing products" by introducing new ones now, said Roger Kay, an analyst at market research firm International Data Corp.
Instead, Apple may unveil the long-anticipated video-enabled iPod, which will likely work initially only on Macintosh computers, Enderle said.
Apple's existing inkwell and Newton technologies seem to make them in the perfect position to take on Microsoft in what could be the biggest battle for the most worthless market sector (Tablet PCs), however as a Newton owner I think that the some-what-larger-than-Palm device size that the Newton line sported is much more user friendly and usable.
Read the Reuters article at reuters.." It'd be nice, but I'm skeptical on it actually being that.
in 1997 Microsoft bought half of Apple.
So much for your competition.

Apple usually does not get it right. Their microcomputers end up running hardly any software, lack basic features, and cost a lot more. No surprise that 90% of the computer buyers agree that "Apple got it wrong" and bypass the machines.
You can count on Mickey Mouse's left hand the number of times Apple has gotten it right, and still have fingers left over (the Apple ][, and the iPod). The rest of the time, it is all media hype, or notoriety caused by meaningless features (such as pretty colors).
