Apple to Announce 42'' and 50'' Plasma Viiv Displays?
PowerPage.org posts an unusual report claiming that Apple would be releasing 42inch and 50inch Plasma Displays at Macworld San Francisco.
That possibility alone would be quite unusual for Apple, but the report describes that the new plasma displays will be powered by Intel's recently announced Viiv multimedia platform running Mac OS X 10.4.4 for x86 (Intel).
Prices for the displays/computers are reportedly $2599 and $3299.
The report is unusual in that it is written as a story, presumably to hide the source of the information. Of note, ThinkSecret has recently suggested that Apple will be releasing a larger than 30" Cinema Display.
Current Apple Cinema Displays rely on LCD technology -- not Plasma. However, throughout the industry, 42" is typically where the Plasma sets start, while LCD's become significantly more expensive at these larger sizes.
Meanwhile, there have been ongoing reports of a Viiv-Apple connection.

Check it out. If this is true it will be sweet but expensive. However, PP also says no more firewire which I think is BS so who knows how reliable. The news in this article is encoded in some strange story about buying food at a gas station but I think the info is supposed to be genuine but not how it was obtained.

Is this part of Apple's carefully planned invasion of the livingroom? See, all the more reasons I think 2006 will be the Year of the Livingroom.
This could be that 'one more thing' since every other rumor has been beaten to death. I'd be surprised if there isn't rioting in the streets, afterwards, with all the pent-up anticipation.
Here's to the Crazy Ones

Who is this AirMac, and where can I get one!? :eek: :D
I can see Steve Tuesday on stage announcing. "As of today, the G4 is dead" (pause as cheers explode from the audience!)

Silly read, but full of goodies - we'll see what happens on Tuesday.
And a 42" Plasma from Apple for only 2599 with all that added extra stuff? I don't think so.

People, Wawa is like freaking 7-11.
Is anyone taking this seriously, or am I just dense. :confused:

Seems really unlikely. Lots of people already have flat panel TVs, and wouldn't want to buy a whole new TV just for the extra features Apple's would have. I buy virtually every product Apple comes out with, but there's no way I would buy a whole new TV for this.

I don't like plasma TVs.....I think LCDs are better. And I don't see Apple getting into the TV business anytime soon.
