What will Apple think of next? Five ridiculous predictions
starting with the iPad Nano and heading on to the iToast this looks to be an amusing assortment...

Introducing the iPad Nano, the world’s smallest tablet computer. With a dual-core A5 chip, two cameras for FaceTime and video recording, and access to 90,000 apps, this amazingly revolutionary device offers up everything you love about the iPad, but at less than a tenth of the size. Whether you’re surfing the Web, checking email, playing video games, reading a book, or editing an HD movie, the iPad Nano puts the whole world at the tip of your finger. Smart Cover not included. Starting at $699.

2. They'll just redress a product with very few technical changes.....

...... hype it to no end, and the mindless zombies will stand in line for it.

4. Yeah, but I've just got to have an I-Ran.
Hey, maybe even two. ;-)

(But, actually, I hate Apple products.)

9. I was looking really hard at the iBrick
It has a number of uses, from the obvious destruction of out of date electronics to a nice doorstop or paperweight.

5. here are my ideas
A dick tracy wrist video phone
a holographic display for desktops and laptops
a brain integration system, built on the recent scanning technology that appears to read thoughts.
ipads and phones that charge themselves in the sun.

7. I'm impressed that they went to all that trouble.
It was moderately funny, but impressed me more than made me laugh.

8. A lense that rests comfortably on your cheek as a pair of reading glasses
with earphone in ear. no hands internet. This will be right before they implant one directly into your brain, that version is coming 15 months later, making this model obsolete.
