Steve Jobs declares 2007 to be "one of the most exciting" in Apple's history

During last week's conference call in which Apple announced preliminary 4th Q earnings, Mr. J apparently also declared 2007 to be "one of the most exciting new product years in Apple's history." While we already know about some things like the iTV, we don't have much else to go on but unconfirmed rumors of iPhones and 6G wide and/or touchscreen iPods.

For now, the real significance here is Steve's bragging about 2007's lineup. In the past he's declared 'the year of the notebook' or 'the year of HD' but he typically did that nearly mid-way through the year when most of us knew it already anyway (Update: my bad, I thought he made those announcements at WWDC, not Macworld), but that was at least while they were launching product. Now he's just strutting Apple's stuff. Here's to looking forward to finding out what they have up their sleeve.

Boy I hope this isn't like the "Year of the Notebook", you know the year we stayed with 1.67 G4s.

I'm looking forward to Leopard. That's exciting enough for me. Anything else would be icing on the cake.

OS X 10.5, ipod video widescreen, iphone, maybe a merger of the two ideas? ipod video/iphone with touchscreen dialpad? (hope it has at least 24 hours of battery life. phones that dont.... not such good phones), iTV, faster mac minis, quadcore xserves, quadcore mac pros...

i can see him being excited. with intel aggressively competing to gain back market share by introducing better products, and apple aggressively gaining as much PC marketshare as they can I can see why it would be a very awesome year for apple, and especially so if they're launch into the gazillion dollar mobile phone and home entertainment markets go well

Every year can be said to be "one of the most exciting new product years in Apple's history." Until next year, that is.

I believe the iTV will one day become the game system of our homes. If it has the guts of an iPod it can play games. Think if you had 4 Apple remotes.. starts to look like a Nintendo wii.

Apple is pulling and ruling the consumer electronics market. They are the herdsman of 800 pound gorillas that once dominated the electronic entertainment industry. 2007 will be a great year for Apple.
