This just in: the Apple retail stores — or, at least, one of them — have pallets of merchandise secreted away in the stock room, smallish boxes individually wrapped (?). My source says that the boxes are a bit smaller than those used for Mac Minis, leaving me to speculate that they are either the previously announced “iTV” devices, or new models of the Airport Express.
At the very least, we have confirmation of a sort that Apple will be introducing a smallish product that will be available for sale the same day…
