This morning the gadget sites (as well as some podcasters) were all a twitter over the possibility of Apple producing a new audio interface code named Asteroid. This is supposedly a firewire interface with two XL mic inputs and a bunch of other stuff. What struck me as funny were the two different artists renditions that were being circulated (pictured on the right, and shamelessly stolen from Gizmodo).

Rumor-mongering has clearly reached epic proportions in the Apple universe.

But Steve, if these are for real, I’ll take one, and a new Powerbook please!
