Sure, but not a radical new product. They have never had
one of those since the original computer and then the Mac.

Everything since then has just been doing much better what
is already a buyable product and very late with the iphone too.

I don't think that is at all likely. They have never done that before.

Even the original computer wasn't that either.

No, I was talking about all the markets that Apple is involved in and
others that are likely markets that Apple might be interested in.

I don't believe that given that they never have done anything like that.

Sure, but there isnt any real evidence that Apple
has ever come up with a viable product that way.

Even Siri isn't anything like that.

The original Mac GUI wasn't either.

Sure, but that hasn't produced anything radically new.

They didn't even do that with the ipod or iphone or ipad or Mac.
