What's Next At Apple

pinqkandi writes "Business 2.0 is running a fascinating article on what might be coming up in Apple's future. Besides speculation, some interesting statistics are included, such as how the iPod should create equal revenue to the Mac for Apple in 2006, if not surpassing it. A good read for the Apple lover or loather."

      They don't count as a real Apple rumor site until they either receive a C&D or have a lawsuit filed against them...

      That's nothing, I just meta-moderated a couple of comments on a "what's next for apple?" story. For a second here I though slashdot had had broken the time barrier and allowed me to meta-moderate comments that had not been made yet!

      Not sure if the "First Post!" guys would appretiate it though...

    I use Apple because it actually works. the fact Apple has designers who actually have a clue about design is just the icing on the cake.

    go back to your troll-hole you ignorant twat.

    Oh, My bad.

    Clearly "slavering fanboy devotion" should have been #1.
