It's probably true that Apple would do that first, but I think that it's also true that Apple would do neither.

Apple likes computers to be actual computers, not severely handicapped resemblances of computers (their neutering of the iMac, iBook, etc. notwithstanding.) I don't think they would ever introduce a device that, by itself, lacked a big battery and optical drive. Even if those features were part of a "dock." I've always found the dock concept to be borderline-retarded.
