If you head over to Apple.com, you may notice the giant monolithic Apple logo accompanied by the statement, "The first 30 years were just the beginning. Welcome to 2007."

So what exactly is Apple referring to?

In 2006 Apple celebrated its 30th birthday and made considerable gains by cementing the iPod into the very fabric of the music industry, as well as potentially selling more computers then they've ever sold in a single year. In fact, it is being suggested Apple moved close to 1.8 million Macs in the last three months alone. A considerable feat for a company who's active user base was once estimated at around five million just seven-years ago. Meanwhile, Apple also helped spark the HD revolution that took place during 2006 by bringing HD editing software to the masses with an onslaught of HD enabled applications ranging from iMovie HD to Final Cut Pro.

With Apple's famed cult expo (Macworld San Francisco) coming as soon as next week, the company is rumored to be announcing a wide variety of new and updated products ranging from the "true" Video iPod, more powerful Mac Pro desktop computers, an Apple designed mobile phone, iTV, information concerning an update to Mac OS X (otherwise known as Leopard or Mac OS 10.5), as well as new displays with built-in iSight Web-cams, and software updates for iLife and iWork. Other speed-bumps, and surprises are always a possibility as well.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be presenting a keynote speech Tuesday the 8th from San Francisco which is where he will be announcing said rumored gizmos above. So keep an eye out for more Apple bytes as we get closer to the expo.
