One of the great things about Apple as a company is that you can never really be sure of what they are going to do or try next in their pursuit for excellence across their extremely popular consumer technology product ranges. Apple is one the only few companies across the world who have the financial might and status to be able to lazily play around with ideas and hobby projects that may not term into long-term products or even make it to the market place.
