Apple to join the next-gen consoles battle

If there are three, why not four? Apple don't want to keep away from the battle, they are behind the HD-DVD/BluRay battle, but they wanted to compete with Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo as well.

Apple's console, which will be released on October 2007 (expect the announcement on January), will be called iPlay and it will be compatible with the old Dreamcast games!

EDIT: this was all a joke. There is no real console by Apple. In Spain, on December 28th we usually make jokes, like inventing stuff like this. Unfortunately it's not true, cause the console looked cool, didn't it? ;-)
