The Apple rumor world is once again lit up with the buzz of a new "revolutionary" device that the company will release this year. French designer Phillippe Starck has punched a wave of gossips on the Internet world by promising that a "revolutionary" Apple product will debut within next eight months.

"Indeed, there is a big project together which will be out in eight months," said Starck, as digged by Hardmac, in an interview with radio channel France Info and French newspaper Li Figaro [English translation].

Phillippe Starck is well known for his innovatory designs. The French designer has various titles to his portfolio from electric cars to hotels/restaurants, museum, clubs, bars and even toothbrushes and chairs.

In Line with the secretive legacy of Apple, Starck didn't provide further details about his project. But, he revealed that he used to visit former Apple CEO Steve Jobs once a month for past seven years to discuss the project and do some "interesting talking". The designer added that he still travels to California to meet Steve Job's widow Laurene Powell.

"For seven years I came to see him once a month in Palo Alto and elsewhere Monday I go there, because even though he is dead, now I will see his wife. We liked to talk all things interesting," said Starck.

The French designer has boosted all the stunning thoughts that people have in the mind about upcoming Apple products. Apple fans are dreaming about their most favorite and expected Apple product. Will this so called "revolutionary" Apple product coming this year be the much-hyped iPhone 5? Or it is Steve Jobs' unfulfilled dream - the Apple iTV? Or it is next generation iPod or some other product? Of course, Apple is well-known for bringing some unexpected yet game-changing products to the market. In case of iPad, iPhone or iPod, before their debut, who would have thought that the company will release an iGadget that will redefine the so-called "smart world"?

Of all the expectations and rumors, Apple TV has been on the top of list, waiting to take a crack at the title of the new "revolutionary" Apple product. What do you think? What will the new "revolutionary" product be?
