Let me preface this with the following statement: The following post is purely speculation and should not be taken as a leak or any other form of actual known actions by Apple Computers. It is merely the musings of a SuperGeek…
Given: Apple has a fair following, both of its Computer lines and most recently of its IPod(Nano) lines, some of it bordering on extremism. Apple’s fans have been compared to “lemmings“.
Apple has gained a fair amount of success with their Mac(intosh) lines and a great amount of early success with their Ipod line, so where do they go next.
Much of the focus at this point has been on their switching from PowerPC chips from IBM to Pentium chips from Intel. However I believe that the next big Apple step is in another direction.
It will be a big step, and if it isn’t done right a risky one, but I think that Apple will not only try it, but will pull it off. So, your probably asking what it is that I am talking about?
Well. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo lookout. Apple is coming to town. A game system is the next big thing for Apple. They already have the fan base to sell a fairly good amount of them on opening day. All they have to do is put out a quality product with a good game lineup. They could even throw in a PSP like portable gamer with built in Ipod functionality. A console could have a built in Ipod port and built in hard drives for nearly instant Media Center capabilities. Stamp a big little i on it and call it the iBase or iStation(too much like playstation I think).
Of course, this is just speculation. If it does happen however, remember where you heard it first. Right here on www.SuperGeekBlog.com
