Something big and seekrit at MacWorld Tokyo

Cory Doctorow 8:19 am Wed Mar 20, 2002

Apple seems prepared to unveil something wondrous, seekrit and hypeful at MacWorld Tokyo. My money's on a PDA. Or a time-machine.

Even the tops of the booths are draped in the thick material, preventing workmen on ladders or lighting gantries from peeking inside. Adding to the air of mystery, a fluorescent glow from inside the booths can be seen where the curtains meet the floor.

Each booth is under the watchful eye of a pair of uniformed guards, stationed at opposite corners to give them a commanding view of all four sides…

In addition, there was a large metal box on wheels at the corner of Apple's display area. The box, which appeared to be designed for air freight, was also watched over by a uniformed guard. It was adorned with a prominent red sticker that said, "Apple Booth: Secret."
