WWJD 3 - The photoshop showdown!

Can you believe it's been a year and a half since the last What Would (Steve) Jobs Do? (and closing in on two years since the first)? Well, we're all a little perplexed about what it is Steve could be announcing next Tuesday -- he's surely saving his biggest announcements this year for April when they'll be celebrating Apple's 30th birthday. So what's he got coming next Tuesday at the "Fun new products" announcement? Is it a touchscreen video iPod or iTablet? The Intel media Mac mini? Some more Intel machines like a 12-inch MacBook Pro or Intel iBook? Or something even more interesting, still?

We don't want you to tell us, we want you to show us. Whip up your best possible photoshop mockups of what you think Steve's got going on behind the scenes, and drop them in our comments (or you can email your entries to engadget (at) gmail (dot) com, subject "WWJD3," no quotes). You've got until 11.59PM EST Sunday, the 26th -- we'll get together the best entries in a gallery on Monday, and the winner (as chosen by Engadget) will get a 1GB iPod nano. See? Easy as that. So show us, What Would (Steve) Jobs Do?

Great, a wonderful photoshop opportunity comes up just when I committed to making a flash video in 2 days for my networking class.

[Hassan.L @ Feb 24th 2006 3:00PM]

Just a 1gb Nano for several hours of photochop work? Hell no. Then whe new product is here the Nano will be passe.

[Jerid @ Feb 24th 2006 3:02PM]

I was going to photoshop a product like this, but I found xrays that would cause me to not waste my time.

Can someone enter multiple things? 'cause I have a few ideas.

It's a Dual Announcement!

[Federico Fasce @ Feb 24th 2006 4:05PM]

Why not giving it a try?
Here's my idea:

Sure, you can enter multiple times, and we'll pick your best entry.

[Kurt @ Feb 24th 2006 4:10PM]

This one is kind of weird, so stick with me. I mostly did it for the final joke.

Let the record show, I herby predict we will never see an "Intel iBook."

It's gonna be called a "MacBook."

[Bo Kristensen @ Feb 24th 2006 4:13PM]

ENGADGET STAFF:

I have a question, if I did it with MS Paint, but it was good, would it still be able to be entered in the "photoshop" contest? Cause I don't have photoshop but I'm pretty good with MS Paint, I promise it won't be crappy

A cool contest if you've got a little skills with photoshop. If you're a wordy type (no skills, like me!) Apple Matters is giving away the sme prize just for a text guess.

[Hadley Stern @ Feb 24th 2006 5:16PM]

Or you can just describe it and win a 1GB nano! http://www.applematters.com/index.php/section/comments/predict_the_next_big_thing_and_win_an_ipod_nano/

well, since you disqualified my last entry, here is a more serious one. Excuse my crappy photoshop skills, but if they made one of these (with their pretty engineering) . . . . it would be another huge success:

Thanks for the compliment! I would love to see it happen too. :D Here is what I really think is a possibilty however... a tablet.
