One year after the iPhone announcement and a doubling of Apple’s stock, Steve has to have something big in store. Mac tablets and ultra-slim MacBooks aside, it’s interesting what the banners in Moscone have written on them.
Intel’s announcement of integrated WiMAX into their base PC platforms (Intel develops integrated WiFi / WiMAX / DVB-H chip - Engadget) at CES could be a hint as to what may be to come at MacWorld: Perhaps the big announcement may not be the Mac Tablets or MacBook Nanos per se, but rather the rollout of WiMAX coming standard across not only these new products but the entire Macintosh product line.
If the use of flash hard drives in the ultra-slim Mac portables comes true, combined with standard WiMAX, it’ll be exciting to see if the next few months has Apple becoming the sole producer of a very different, very desirable flavor of laptop.
