Mac Soda

I stumbled across this story on the web today, and thought that all of the Mac Soda readers might enjoy checking it out. Of all the quotes, this one from 2006 caught my attention.

Speculation is rife that Jobs will move Apple fully into the living room, and there’s little reason he wouldn’t. The most likely scenario is that Apple would build a version of its Mac mini that could be attached to a TV and entertainment center so the mini could store family photographs and home videos along with music and videos downloaded from iTunes. Taken to the extreme, the living room of 2010 may no longer need to have a CD-rack, DVD player, TiVo, set-top box, or stereo. All those capabilities could be built into a single box, an Apple TV, or an Apple-branded home entertainment center.

The writer sure nailed the first part of it, so could the second one be true as well? I for one am expecting a redesigned Apple TV soon… hopefully Macworld soon.

This quote is interesting as well.

Then there’s the wireless-phone realm. Apple purchased the domain name iPhone.org years ago and in December trademarked the name Mobile Me. That may suggest it will introduce a mobile phone or personal digital assistant to download songs over the air or sync up with a Mac or PC.

There’s some more gems in the article, so check it out for yourself.
