It's hard to guess what Apple will think of next when it comes to extending both the iPod and its Macintosh line of computers. According to a recent report, it seems that tighter integration between the two may be on the horizon.
A look at Apple's patent application no. 20040224638 reveals a sprawling description of many detailed aspects of a digital music player system that, frankly, makes for fairly dull afternoon reading. A close look, however, reveals the description of a most interesting docking arrangement; it seems that Apple may be planning to produce an iBook or PowerBook laptop computer that allows a future iPod or iPod mini to dock into its surface, with the iPod's touchpad (or future touchscreen?) serving as the laptop's trackpad.
We know that, to Apple, the iPod has always been a vehicle to drive Mac sales, but this...well, it would take that notion to a whole new level.
