    SJ will not announce his retirement...especially now...when thing have never looked better for Apple out of the Cupertino HQ's windows...Mac sales are tremendously up, iPods, great hardware/software, brand recognition and what ever else (a couple of other) things (I hope and pray) SJ and the rest of Apple have up their sleeves. There is no way in a million that SJ would retire now

    Months ago, an Apple executive discussed WWDC and said its focus would be technology. I couldn't find anything like this on the WWDC web pages and I don't want to dig through archives, but nothing very specific was mentioned. Technology could mean a lot of things, but certainly HD and 970MP come to mind.

    Throws the whole market into a panic, then chaos ensues thorough the entire market. The future looks back on it as black (fill in the blank)-day.

    The AirPort Express Base Station might be ready for an update. Maybe now you can connect a USB hub to it and mulitple printers to the hub so people with more than one printer do not have to keep switching cables to use a different printer. While they're at it make it so a scanner can be used with it.



    There could also be a second model that has an ethernet connection, no USB, but does have a RCA and/or S-Video connetion for streaming video. I am sure the H.264 codec is needed to make this a reality.

    I just want an Airport base station that has a broadband modem in it, thus saving me from having to buy a wireless broadband receiver AND an Aiport express base station so I can listen to tunes and surf.

    I say either:



    Updated PowerBooks



    or



    Updated iBooks.



    I hope for the latter!

    I freaking laugh if they updated the iBook at a developer conference.

    Yeah, iBooks at WWDC would be lame lame lame.



    Unless, of course, PowerBooks were updated too - as some sort of year of the notebook mania part 2

    I'd be willing to bet as far as HW is concerned, previews of new PB's iBooks. I'd really be surprised if apple doesn't at least give notice that they do have a dual core machine in the works, and to have faith that it will appear, since the other companies have already released theirs. Then again, with this last minor speed bump, I kinda doubt it. I bet some sort of iPod / portable do-hickey will be shown. Some new software will prob be shown, tiger will be mentioned some as well.

    With that brief statement their Power Mac sales will plummet, hurting an already over-stocked line. If they have something in the works, they won't mention it unless they are in dire need akin to their iMac G4 no longer available deal last year.



    I hope to see some hardware, something tangible. But if nothing is announced, I have no problems. Already going to have problems paying off this Sharp Aquos and a Canon Rebel XT down the line.

    Could WWDC 05 be the place for Steve Jobs to talk about the distant future of Mac OS? i.e. Mac OS 10.5 etc

    I doubt it. Tiger is in it's infancy. It hasn't even had an update to 10.4.1 yet has it?
