The next big thing?

[Jay]

Microsoft don't do much hardware and certainly don't make laptops/PC's and we know what Windows 8 is more or less going to be like.
Google seem to be playing for Android phones/tablets and Chrome book netbooks as well as the Google TV's.

Apple, they keep things secret - until Jobs' autobiography and contrary to popular belief I don't actually hate Apple, though that's another discussion.

But since Jobs' departure will the company stay on track with his plans? What about after their next big thing after Steve's last secret project?

Having just finished watching I, Robot, I wouldn't count robots out of future life. I'm actually quite looking forward to what is going to be around in 50, 60 or 70 years time. Think about what they had in the 40s, not much in terms of technological advance. But in 70 years look were we are now. Technology and innovation is a ball that once it starts rolling it just keeps picking up more and more speed and power. I don't think we're far off seeing some hugely innovative device/thing that completely changes the world. I, Robot style.

I think the mouse is fast going to become a thing of the past.  Probably replaced by touch screen, but in the not so distant future mind control.  There have already been dozens of examples of computers controlled by thought etc.  They'll make it more robust, cheaper and accessible.

I seen on MacRumors there are a couple of exerts from Steve Jobs' new book, and it mentioned about Steve finally 'cracking' TVs. No one really knows what this means yet but an iTV has been circulating for some time now, and it's only gaining steam. I wouldn't be surprised.

that being said, I only voted for iTV as they won't release anything truly new and innovative, but they will find a problem and fix it, or fill the gap in the market. They've done it before, and they will most likely do it again.

No.  Because itv.com is already taken.   

C'mon.

Yeah I agree that an apple tv set is pretty much on the cards. The thing is that it will be all linked into itunes and icloud. Whether that's a good thing is still to be determined. It'll be controlled by your ipad/iphone/ipod touch and cost more than a Bang and Olufsen tv.

Apple fridge freezer is my bet for the post Steve Jobs. It's cool to have an Apple fridge because it's cool.

Perhaps Apple will invest in this....

Apple tv exsists already and is already linked to itunes & icloud, and is controlled by your iphone or ipad  & costs a measly £85

The next version people are on about is a TV with it all built in, with Apple in control of your media from start to finish. So doubt it would many HDMI ports, if any in later models. But this is something that's been flying around for years, we'll see if it comes to fruition.
