I do hear a lot of people saying a CDMA/EVDO iPhone is not a possibility as it's such a small market that is due to die in a few years (VZW to replace it with LTE). If that is true, then why was Verizon the carrier that Apple went to first? VZW will have over 80 million subscribers once the Alltell merger completes, CDMA phone would also open up the largest carriers in Japan and China. I'm sure Apple would love to sell the millions of CDMA iPhones that would be purchased (I'd buy one in a heartbeat!), and I'm sure the profit from it would be greater than the cost of adding a CDMA iPhone to the lineup. Again, hoping, but doubting. I’m hoping for a Verizon iPhone too, but seriously doubting it will happen due to exclusivity with AT&T.

That's why slingbox have been forbidden to develope an app for the iphone. I'd sell my slingbox if the new appletv works like genius with my apple products. This is just my personal speculation by the way. I'm praying for rain. Hope it comes true.

A possible update to the Mac Mini with an AppleTV product merge. Buy config X and it is a computer. Buy config Y sand it is an AppleTV Pro with Blu-Ray, 500GB HD and the AppleTV interface.

However, the Apple TV always did get released at Macworld every year so far, so i could count on seeing the apple tv getting a bigger hard drive(new idea, apple tv combined with an airport extreme station, like the time capsule). @Eric:

I have been trying to find anything out about it for the last month and a half, but I can't really get any solid information. As usual, the second I find anything out (if at all), I'll share it with you. @Eric: Nothing that I’ve heard yet.
