Apple all over the news

If you read your news, you already know that Apple is everywhere this week. The marketing geniuses at Apple know just how to play the media machine to their advantage. A simple update to their iPod line coupled with iTunes 4.9 including Podcasts gets more attention than Google Earth! What we have seen thus far may just be small tidbits relative to what is expected the 7th of July. Apple has sent invitations to an event / announcement on Thursday next, ostensibly to launch the new iTunes/iPod phone whatever-it-ends-up-being called. iPhone anyone? Moto ROKR? Your guess is as good as mine. 5 years in the future, it is hard to imagine users carrying separate mini iPods and cell phones; just like 5 MP camera-phones are making carrying your digital camera unnecessary, so will the music playing cell phones of the future. Next week promises to be interesting!
