I just can’t imagine Apple releasing something called the “iBrick”. It doesn’t make sense. Bricks carry no positive connotations besides being sturdy and stackable. This image illustrates the main negative connotation carried by this word: a bricked iPhone. I’m just hoping that iBrick is codeword for “New MacBook Pro cases” in Cupertino.

apple event scheduled for October. little is known about the project but ApartmentTherapy has gathered a nice lists of all the rumors floating around the web:



Cult of Mac is hoping that the brick is an all-screen laptop, sort of like two iTouch screens connected with a  hinge.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog is thinking that it’s a tablet computer, which takes it’s design and technological cues from the MacBook Air

iPhone Savior is thinking it’s a Mac Mini Pro, somewhere in between a Mac Mini and a Mac Pro, noting that the Mac computers already tend to resemble bricks.

ComputerWorld has the idea that it is a kind of wireless docking station that features a USB hub, allowing you to wirelessly connect your MacBook to the peripherals on your desktop.
