Here we go, Apple bashing Microsoft already, I don't recall Microsoft walking down that road at CES.

Apple TV looks a pretty interesting little machine.  I wonder what codecs it can play and can it connect to a Vista machine. $299 USD, ships in Feb, taking orders today.

Ding iPhone.. launch the lawsuits....!

Apple would have to be insane not to communicate with Cisco on the name first.

Pretty slick ideas though.  iPod, Phone, PDA, massive touchscreen, no stylus.."We have invented a new technology called multi-tuch. It works like magic, you don't need a stylus, far more accurate than any interface ever shipped, it ignores touches, mutli-finger gestures, and BOY have we patented it!"

"iPhone runs OS X!"

It sure doesnt look pretty

Before announced, im going to guess.... $399 USD.

Touch screen dialing sucks BTW.. It better also support voice dialing... Biggest complaint I have for my phone is that it doesn't have a button Keypad.

Interface is killer good looking http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/01/dsc_0184.jpg

As beautiful as this looks though, its a giant expensive touch screen (exposed at this point) just banging around in your pocket.  everyone will buy some sort of case for it and at that point it looses a lot I think.  A nice convergence device though by the looks of it.  OSX is a negative in my book

Yep, sucks for those of us on CDMA.. but I don't see any other way they could release such a product. Just find an unlocked one, pop in your SIM and away you go.
