In advance of next week’s special announcement from Apple, some of us journalists have been sent a link to a special piece of beta software called iSpeculate. It’s a great new utility designed to save you the trouble of speculating about forthcoming Apple annoucements. All you see is an empty window, and a toolbar with a single button: Speculate. Here’s what appeared in the window when I clicked that button…

Mine only gave me one result...
I hoped to get the same variety as you, but iSpeculate only gave me one:
The iPatch
Which is apparently a circular, iPod-wheel looking instrument with a head-band, that goes over one eye and plays video direcly into your eye-ball. It's quite difficult to forward/rewind, though, as you end up prodding your eye.
