What is this ‘brick’ I keep hearing about?

No, I’m not talking about the iPhone you tried to jailbreak a few months back. Rumors have been flying about Apple’s next “One More Thing” announcement that’s supposed to happen at an October 14th Apple event. The common theme in many of these rumors is the “brick.” But what exactly is this brick?

It’s pretty doubtful Apple would name any of its products the “Brick,” so I think it’s safe to assume that if this turns out to be real, it’s a codename. There are two rumors circulating, and iPhone Savior is reporting on both of them. Sadly, both of them are exciting, and logic would dictate that only one could be the brick. Even still, I’m hoping for both.
