In anticipation of Apple’s big announcement on January 26, in which it’s rumored that the iSlate tablet will officially join the ranks of Apple gadgets, I’ve clustered our favorite Apple concepts from Trend Hunter’s archives.

There are iBikes, iToilets and even several versions of the iSlate. Check out these and more Apple gadgets below.
