There’s a big surprise Apple announcement today where some “fun new products” will be revealed. But what could they be? Howard Wolinsky from The Chicago Sun-Times asked his readers to send in their thoughts. Here are their predictions on what the Apple announcement will be:

Apple Announcement Predictions

  • Francois d’Anethan, dean of UBI, a business school in Brussels, Belgium, said, “The flip side of the iPod could be the face of a ‘Mac’ cell phone. That would be the ultimate piece of technology. Everybody I know who uses an iPod would go for it without the slightest hesitation.”
  • Daniel Schattnik, a lawyer in downstate East Alton, said, “If they paired an iPod with built-in XM or Sirius radio, I would buy it tomorrow.” He said he would have no use for FM radio if he had satellite.
  • A half dozen iPod dreamers said they would like to see the MP3 player morph into a personal digital assistant to track appointments, list contacts, link to the Web and move images, music and files wirelessly. This would revive Apple’s pioneering Newton PDA from a decade ago.
  • John Soles of Yorkville said Wi-Fi on an iPod PDA “opens up so many possibilities. It would be cool if two or more people in the same room . . . could share music so each could listen to the others’ songs. The screen would be large enough to have a digital album with song lyrics and information similar to what is found in the jacket of CDs that one buys. Wi-Fi would be great for remote control and so many other things.”
  • Vincent Verweij, chief executive of Makayama Interactive in Amsterdam, which developed iPod Media Studio software to copy DVDs for use on iPods, said iPods should have A/V inputs to capture video signals.

Will The Apple Announcement Be A New Tablet?

Will Apple Call Their New Tablet The Islate?

Although The Chicago Sun-Times readers tended to keep their speculation centered on the iPod, other people think Apple might announce a touch-sensitive tablet computer or a TiVo-like Apple Media Center. Rumored names for this product include the iSlate and iPad. You can read more about these announcement speculations here.
