Unofficial Mac Genius
OK, well I confess I don't know exactly what's going to be released on MWSF. But I have a picture, that is from VERY reliable sources. It's so reliable, the picture actually comes in the MWSF Badge mailing itself. I think it was probably a goof up, though, on the part of the makers of the brochure. However, it seems like it would shed light onto what Apple's been hyping.
OK, sorry, I don't have a pic, but anyone who's going to MWSF and pre-ordered their badge, here's what you do. Go to your envelope where you received your badge/badge holder, and root around for the MacDirectory brochure. Then look at the front page (no, not the cleavage) at the bottom right. What the HELL is that -- I'm 99.999999% positive that that's nothing Apple has EVER released, so I'm going out on a limb here, and speculating that this is what Apple is going to release.
I'll try to describe it. It's kind of grey. When you look at the brochure right side up, there's a hinge thingy in the middle, and a sort of compartment to the left. On the right, it looks like there's an LCD screen, and then a pen/stylus resting on top of the screen. There's also a small Apple logo on the device near the hinge. From the looks of the screen, it looks small, so I'm thinking Apple PDA, but I'm not even 5% sure of that. www.mosr.com has a similar description, and it's probably better.
Everyone who received their badge/badge holder to MWSF by mail has got to check this out. I'll try and scan it or something and post it, but that will be hard in my situation -- anyone else, feel free.
UPDATE: My dad claims it's a Newton. But I am still skeptical, partly because I don't really remember seeing the Newton. Anyone got some pics or URLs to the Newton they can post? Still... why would they put such an old product on this brochure?
