Apple Inc (AAPL)

[clearsailing]

Remember last year's macworld SF? Steve Jobs showed some 30+ year old photo of him and Steve Wozniak and noted that Apple would turn 30 years old in 2006 and added (paraphrasing) that they would have to plan to do something to celebrate that anniversary.


April 1, 2006 (Apple's anniversary) came and went with no product announced. No mention of the anniversary.

The rumors were that the product they were to announce was not ready and they decided against announcing it.


So will the 30th anniversary product be announced next week at MacWorld San Francisco??? Stay tuned.


Will it be a new subcompact macbook pro? (that may be announced but not enough of a big deal to get a lot of attention as a 30th anniversary product.

Will it be a new iPhone? (can't be called that since linksys has the rights to that name and has already introduced a product but then again what the story with http://www.iphone.org??? Could be a new iTunes enabled phone though)

Could it be a new OS X Leopard-based handheld (ala Newton, Palm or something newer, slicker, etc.)? (this could be and include the phone function too with iTunes also! Everything in one small package!)


So what do you think is coming this from Apple? I think it will be the overdue 30th anniversary product - something in limited supply and I hope something like the 20th anniversary model but somewhere no Mac has gone before ...

Time to buy Apple Shares or time to avoid them (pending complete resolution of the stock options issue)????
