Oh please, let there be... (Your MacWorld hopes)
Oh please, let Intuit announce the new version of Quicken with UB, Leopard compatibility, and all-around non-suckiness!
With that, I can stop using Parallels / Windows on a routine basis (by moving from MS Money 03 to Quicken).
What are you hoping for to come of the upcoming MacWorld 08? |

Re: Oh please, let there be... (Your MacWorld hopes)
Some kind of Blu-ray support. I had hoped they would offer a Blu-ray option in iMacs before I finally bought, but that ship has sailed. I'd like to see some kind of external Blu-ray drive at reasonable cost, but I'm not even sure it's even possible with copy protection (HDCP, BD+, etc).

I want V2 iPhone, but a little bird told me June a couple months back.
Apple would be nuts not to include some BD announcement - either BTO for the pro or other hardware.

I want to see a dramatic revision of AppleTV: I want it to become the iTunes for DVD. It needs an integrated DVD player , automatic DVD-ripping, and an iTunes download-rental store from within AppleTV. It should sync up with a selected Mac on the network, if desired, or be able to store movies and data on an external hard-drive. And it must be no more than $399.  |

I agree but I would add the following:
16 GB 3G iPod nano in black and Product Red case colors
iTunes 8.0 with downloadable movie rental support and improved, easier-to-use interface.

An updated Macbook Pro. Rumor is that the next ones will look radically different, like the G4 Titanium Pros.

How can reverting to a style two generations old be considered radically different? Considering the dual hinge case on the Titaniums were prone to breakage, I would hope they don't take a step back with that type of case design. |

Re: Oh please, let there be... (Your MacWorld hopes)
Having bought a MBP last summer, I hope Apple doesn't change them a bit. Or maybe downgrades them a little... 
I also hope for a Time Machine update so it works with the Airport Extreme. |
