It'll be a 10-inch iPod Touch (this all glass front) with a res of 1280x720. Might have optional 3G. Available in different storage capcity, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The most expensive will be $799, with the price dropping depending on storage. Apple will claim 12 hour battery (non-removable). There will be a front facing camera for iChat, but not on the back. The OS will be a modified version of iPhone OS 4.0 with multi-tasking and a nice Book/magazine app that'll be announced with content deals. New iTunes Music store content will be announced for it, optimized for the screen. There will not be SD or any other type of storage built in. There will only be a iPod dock connector, which may or may not have an adapter to work with HDMI or displayport -- doubtful. These are fun so here is mine.

It'll be way overpriced. 2. It'll be locked down with some form of DRM and/or vendor lock-in, and Apple will say it's so they can control the "experience". This will be hacked open within days. 3. A knockoff version will come out within a year that is technically better in all respects, but which lacks Apple's software and vendor-lock-in. Apple fanboys will shout loudly from the rooftops at how their product is better (when it's not). 4. Steve Jobs will continue to be a complete dick to everybody he can, and people will forgive him because "he's a visionary" or "he had cancer and a liver transplant, cut the guy some slack" or some other excuse. 5. Bill Gates will laugh and laugh while he earns another 20 bazillion dollars by selling another Microsoft Office to every single person on the planet, making Apple's attempts to take over any sort of market look positively feeble. 6. Linux hackers will sit back and continue to produce innovations that actually *are* changing the world. They will also continue to not bother to tell anybody about them.
