Digital Home Thoughts: APRIL FOOLS: Apple Unveils iNote, Windows-Powered Notebook PC

In a move that will surely stun a great many people, Apple today unveiled iNote, a portable PC running Windows. According to Apple, the product has secretly been in development for the past two years. Although Steve Jobs has personally been against the Mac maker releasing PC products, the move was necessary due to decreasing Mac market share and a rapidly growing installed base of Windows-based iPod users.

"The decision to create iNote caused quite a bit of controversy internally. But in the end we all knew it had be done", said Apple VP Phil Schiller. "Most iPod users are Windows users. So it makes sense to offer an integrated end-to-end solution of a Windows portable combined with our award winning iPod."
