Collaborative Rumors: Things The Brick Is (Probably) Not

Things the “brick” is almost certainly not (but see note below):

  • a redesigned Mac Mini
  • a thing you stick your iPhone into
  • a thing you stick your MacBook into
  • a thing you watch TV on
  • a thing of any sort
  • or a manufacturing process
  • or a new OS

Something the “brick” absolutely 100 per cent is not:

  • a thing that the vast majority of people give a damn about
  • worth posting about on Twitter
  • going to be dull

(Note: Unless it is, of course)

Your guesses and predictions welcome below, but to make it more fun, you are not allowed to predict anything that’s been predicted before. Your rumor mongering must be strictly original and as creative as you like. After all, it’s not like any other blogs bother with facts these days.

    Oh, why not…

    The new brick in the wall is a 6 x 9 (or thereabouts) iPod touch.
    It might be called a slate or something, and while not positioned as such
    will become the dominant ebook reader within 12 months.

    I believe the Brick could be some sort of metaphor… Maybe apple thinks this is so awesome that it’ll make Windows shiver….how do you break a window anyway? Throw a brick through it

    What about being a media server. Basically what you would get if you crossed a Drobo and a Time Machine. Massively expandable, networked, internally backed up, easily accessed by iPhone/iPod touch devices and iTunes devices. This is doubtful, but I might buy one if they build it.

    At long last, it’s a new consumer-level, tower-form-factor Mac. It has several PCIe slots and room in it for a few 5.25″ devices, making it a decent machine for anyone who wants to own a modestly expandable Mac. Comes with a Combo Drive and 120 or 250GB HDD space. Priced competitively at $899.

    It’s a milk carton with an apple logo on it. Leaked onto the web, Samsung will immediately copy it and introduce it in Australia.
