Apple watchers await new product unveilings
The Apple faithful are gathering in San Francisco ahead of Steve Jobs’ annual keynote, in which he is expected to unveil new products.
Top of the most-wanted list, according to reports, is an ultra-slim laptop, using flash storage instead of a hard drive, and movie rentals for iTunes.
Last year, Apple unveiled the iPhone to great fanfare and few observers expect Mr Jobs to be able to top that launch.
The company is expected to sell 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008.
Steve Jobs will be hoping to build on the firm’s success with the iPod and Mac line-up and to boost sales of products, such as the Apple TV, which have not performed so well.
Analysts expect Apple to post record sales this year despite concerns of an overall slowdown in consumer spending.
