Apple 'Home Appliance'?
Appleinsider posts a vague rumor that Apple may be riding on the success of the iPod and looking to expand into "the home-appliance market".
According to their sources, the new device "is said to exist as its own entity and product, rather than an extension of the Macintosh platform."
Of course, details are absent. Ever since Apple's release of the iPod, there has been speculation on more "digital lifestyle devices". Apple has admitted to working on other projects (Special Projects Group?), but the details are left to speculation at this point.

An Apple-branded hi-fi deck would be cool - with Airport Extreme to download all the songs off your Mac or PC whenever you change your iTunes playlist. Now THAT would be cool...

YES! Pretty please?

Okay then, an iKitchen radio - variation on my initial thought...
And what would the point be in a glowing Apple on the back of a TV set?!

I think this might be a smart move by Apple if they play it right. Gateway had a big success with their Plasma screens, and they don't have an ounce of Apple's design and creativity. Maybe a nice WiFi receiver for AAC, as posted above, or a TiVo like box could also be cool.
Surprise us, Apple. But whatever you do, make it FAST!!!:D
