Another recipe of hot new rumors over the Internet suggests that a new Macbook update codenamed the 'Brick' might be in works and will officially be unveiled by Apple in mid-October this year.

While some speculate it to be the new Apple Macbook Touch, other have theories that the 'Brick' might be a software or even the highly rumored Apple iTablet. However there is no source to confirm either of these theories yet.

The possibility of Apple revealing a new Touchscreen version of the Macbook is quite close to reality as it supports our prediction of the Apple Macbook Touch Coming for Real.

The 'Brick' may also be something totally opposite to the Macbook Air, something like the 'Thickest notebook ever!'. Take it as a joke or as a possibility but when it comes to Apple, innovation has no limits.

I don’t believe the brick is going to be what most bloggers are speculating. Steve Jobs & Co. mentioned earlier this year that there was going to be some products released that will be breakthrough. So, what is breakthrough? Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO, made the comment that there was going to be some change. Ubergizmo wrote, “The new, unnamed product will continue to have “technologies and features that others can’t match,” according to the Oppenheimer.”

So, there are two points a new product associated with product transition to cut back on its profit margins. Secondly, price changes. Note the correlation. I don’t think the “product transition” is another iteration of a laptop. A new product is not another style of something Apple has. The clues: Earlier this year Apple bought PA Semi for some $268 Million. The processor that was produced, at the time of acquisition, was the PPC based PWRficient processor some 2Ghz dual core 64bit running between 4 -7W, current stakeholder in the chip is the DOD. John Carmack, of ID and speaking about the iPhone technology, stated that “PowerVR SGX” was more powerful than Nintendo DS and PSP he also stated at another time that he thought programming in Objective-C was the one of if not the best platform to program.

So, I believe the Next system the “Brick” will be a gaming system that includes both console and portable it will run the same games on both systems and the user will purchase the games from the online Apple store. Sure there will be a new portable line but Apple will introduce something new and I think this will be that new “transitional” product.

Brick…that’s what old phones that were large were called. Could it be an ironic reference to a tiny iphone?
