Re: Oh please, let there be... (Your MacWorld hopes)
From Apple: - Blu-Ray RW option on iMacs, MacBook Pros, and Mac Pros.
- Early release of the iPhone SDK, or at least previews of some third-party apps built with it.
- iTunes update with movie rentals (this is all but certain to be announced based on recent news reports). I'd love these to be HD, but I'm not expecting it, at least at first.
- Update to AppleTV software allowing purchases & rentals direct from unit. There will likely be a new AppleTV as well.
- New, more competively-priced displays.
- Some kind of subnotebook.
- Finally, the device Andy Ihnatko has speculated on recently (on MacBreak Weekly and the Apple Phone Show podcasts). A bigger-than-the-iPhone but smaller-than-a-subnote handheld based on the iPhone's touch interface. Big enough display to comfortably surf the web, watch movies, etc., but small & light enough to slip into a purse, briefcase or even jacket pocket. Built-in WiFi & 3G to get on the net anywhere.
From third parties:

With that, I can stop using Parallels / Windows on a routine basis (by moving from MS Money 03 to Quicken).

You and I are of like mind on this one, Dave.
Also looking forward to see what Delicious Monster has come up with for Delicious Library 2. |
