Hmmmm... mid January huh? Sounds very secretive. Kinda like another company I know that BMW did some early work with. Come to think of it, that company is expected to make some announcements at the 2007 MacWorld Expo also scheduled for Mid January (8-12).

Let the rumors begin.

Reminds me of the miniaturised device which had needed a 2 kilogram battery.

I think that the big Macworld announcement has something to do with an IPOD phone...something they should have done a LONG time ago.

Big Macworld? Burgers, surely?

As for they SHOULD have done something a long time ago... we know it's hardly a new idea...

accoding to the ad.
it has a usb connection, mp3 abiility,dvd/cd drive,bluetooth, lcd screen with 65,000colors, voice recognition, high proccessor power, is low energy consuming, and recharges itself...

and since it has a CD drive, i would think that it would be on the big side, so i dont think that it would fit in your pocket, in the ad it looks like a pocket size Mp3 player, well have to wait and see....
