“Last night, BusinessWeek reported that Apple is working on two new wireless gadgets that could be powered by Verizon Wireless,” Dan Frommer writes for SIlicon Alley Insider.
MacDailyNews Note: Verizon Wireless in talks with Apple to distribute two new devices: ‘iPhone lite’ and a ‘media pad’ – April 28, 2009

MacDailyNews Note: Apple’s secret product is ‘MacBook touch’ (Tuesday, July 22, 2008). And, oh, by the way: To this day our source — the same one who tipped us to wireless iTunes Store sales direct to iPod, iPhone a week before Apple debuted it — adamantly insists that it’s coming, regardless of what Apple actually names the shipping units, and adds that the SuperDrive will not be part of the finished devices, “It was just in some of the prototypes for various reason(s).”
Our source is a single source. We cannot confirm our July report or today’s additional information with another independent source at this time. Therefore, the “MacBook touch” remains in the RUMOR category.
