Macworld Rumor Round-Up

seamuskrat writes to mention that LoopRumors has a round-up of many of the different Mac rumors making the rounds for the next Macworld. Among the front runners are the ITV, iPhone, and Mobile OSX. From the article: "In an uncharacteristic move, Steve Jobs previewed this new digital lifestyle device and gave us a release timeframe of 'early 2007.' iTV will stream movies, pictures and more from your Mac or PC to your television wirelessly. We expect to see the 'hidden features' of iTV spelled out, and a release date announced, if not immediate availability at the keynote. Apple has said it will not use the name iTV for the product, so we can expect a new moniker for the media device."

I've cracked the Macworld secret - selective, vowel exclusive acronyms!
Digital Lifestyle Device = DiLDo

All of these products are already available in the market from several manufactures.

Apple is just playing catch-up.

  I've never called anyone a troll or labeled anything as flame bait because I hate those terms and think people throw that stuff around too easily. This, however, is flame bait, and you are a troll. Would you care to elaborate, or am I just falling for the bait?

TFA: "We've heard a lot of rumblings about Apple making partnerships with other companies such as Google and Disney. Expect more partnerships, possibly a collaboration with Google."

This comment might be true and accurate. Additionally, it might be true.

It won't be called iTV because it's too similar to Elgato's EyeTV product.

It won't be called iTV because Steve Jobs said it wouldn't, and he's the guy who gets to make that decision (being CEO and all).
