Macworld 2007 is taking place in San Fransisco, CA. at the Moscone Center. Steve Jobs will of course open the event and that is one of the few hard facts that we have about the program. But he has a "Columbo" way about his speeches as he usually ends his keynote speeches with this "just one more thing" statement that usually leads to something that just blows you away.
{slot15}Well this year, we know that he will not be announcing the iPhone as Linksys has owned that name since 1999 and has entered development of that product. But it is likely that Mr. Jobs will announce a gadget similar to what many of us hope for, an iPod with a larger screen and a mobile phone. I just wonder what they will call it. We are hearing that this new device will be an iPod with Bluetooth for personal networking, and WiMAX for wireless internet access.
There are other rumors of an announcement of a neat little box for your living-room, but no it's not a video game system. It is a movie streaming system that access music video podcasts and picture slide shows from networked Macs and PCs to television sets and video screens. We hear tell that this is a little more than rumor and is closer to fact, and that it will be released in the first quarter of 2007 for a price in the range of $300.
There will be a lot of news leading up to Macworld 2007 and we will bring you all that we find and together we'll sort out the truth from rumor.
