New iPod Products from Apple?

Appleinsider claims that Apple is prepping new iPod "companion" products for launch at Macworld San Francisco 2006.

One of the new products are said to include a iPod Boombox which is both unique from other third party products as well as different "anything Apple has released in the past." The device is reported to include wireless audio streaming and be marketed as "plug and play music for your home".

Details on other iPod products are not provided, but have been under long development at Apple.

I posted that in a hurry. I have a hunch that Apple is up to something with AirPort. This might be a wireless set of speakers that taps into iTunes...

Previously, I had my money on a video AirPort Express that had an IR port for use with a remote: it could stram the Front Row interface from a computer.

Been looking for something like this. :D I'd like to see something go into my stereo shelf, perhaps an iTunes server like those Roku units.

I guess this explains why Apple cracked down on the use of the "ipod" name by other peripheral makers. Still, its not that exciting, at least as written-- there are plenty of speakers and ways to get your music to your stereo.

I agree. There's either something insanely great about this that we don't know yet, or this product is just an accesory and will be marketed as such (read "Not marketed at all")

It doesn't sound like anything that I'd want to rush out for, but one more product for Apple to release! More fun! Yay! :D

It's good that Apple is releasing something like this though; don't need to buy 3rd party stuff anymore.
