The Apple “iProd”: What Could It Be?

Rumors always swirl around Apple products, especially when they haven’t been announced yet. We’ve been following the trail on the Apple tablet, a touch-sensitive device for web surfing and possible iPhone apps. We’ve also seen rumors of iPod Nanos with cameras, among other things.

Well, we know something is coming. Within the configurations of the iPhone 3.1 OS (coming at the end of the summer), there is a line item called “iProd.” The first sign of this was seen in March, but now it looks like a production version of this mysterious device is close to market – and all we know is that it runs the iPhone OS 3.1

Ars Technica and others caught the information inside the property list of the new iPhone software, which stores user settings. We doubt that there’s a product called the iProd, though. More likely, it is code for an upcoming product.

Here are some of the possible suspects:

Apple’s New Tablet: The current talk of the town, the rumored Apple Tablet will supposedly be announced next month. In fact, some claim they’ve played with it. It would make sense, as it’s rumored to run on the iPhone and iPod Touch OS software.

The New iPod Nanos: Supposedly, the next generation of the iPod Nano will gain a camera. If that’s the case, it’s going to need a more robust OS – like the iPhone OS. It could also be announced in September.

iPhone Nano: Nothing but a rumor, but an interesting rumor nonetheless.

????: The honest truth? Everyone’s just speculating over what “iProd” could be. Apple’s always tight-lipped about its products. It could be anything, but it’s fun to speculate about.
