The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that this could be a wireless, thin client, slab/pad that will interface with an Apple streaming HD service, such as Robert X. Cringely is having fun with:

Or, perhaps it’s simply the seatback tray for DayJet ;-)
Honestly, it looks to me like a thin-different (!) tablet that would connect to a MacMini-based DVR or HD-Content Streamer or maybe both. The fact that it would include a full version of the most modern, commercially available, and just plain beautiful operating system would be a bonus. But that might bite into the already thin profit margins of the rest of the Mac family a little too much. However, if it’s as successful as the iPod, who would care?
So perhaps a widget version of the OS, along with an aqua-faced remote to take back control of my home system from those nasty infomercials and FFC-approved PC-infotainment? Not the tablet I was hoping for, but nice all the same. So there you have it. A chicken in every pot and a Mac in every TV.
I’d still like a full TabletMac like those WinDoze folks got. That’d be friggin’ sweet.
