FUTURE HARDWARE 23 DAYS, and counting.
Countdown to MWSF 2006 has just begun. You can put anything related to future hardware, or what have you in here that you like. Speculation, rumor, what you'd like to see, what you dread. This is as good of a place as any until Temporary insanity re-opens.
So as the title states. 23 Days, and counting. Wh00t!

Intel inside the mini and Powerbook me guesses. New iPod Shuffles.
Updated iLife with FrontRow for all.
Looking forward to see what they do with iWork.
That was sweet...!
Way cooler than either the edit rig in "Final Cut", or the hologram deal in "Minority Report"...
;^p
I just recently got mine, and I don't want accessory makers moving away
The thought of an an Intel iBook is just so... wow. I don't get it. It's just a processor, Rosetta is just an emulator, and Universal Binary basically makes sure all the new software work in my computer. But it's so magical.
Macworld, I bow

It's not the idea that it's Intel...it's just they idea that Apple is finally going to have a chip supplier that actually gives a shit.
Freescale's ineptitude at producing faster chips and IBM's lack of motivation to make G5 chips that are both low-watt and faster than current G4s is really getting on my (and, obviously, Apple's) nerve.
But I don't know why I am so excited. I don't have the money for a new computer (heck, I don't have money for an old computer!) and my system will function pretty much the way it's doing now
But there's something about Macworld... Maybe it's because the last one resulted in me being able to get a Mac

What problems?
I have one and it is flawless.

Apparently a lot of them have had a pink hue to them.
<speculation>
1. iLife 06. I think a couple of things that need to happen here are obviously FrontRow becomes a part of iLife 06. Then obviously they need to ship a remote and USB adapter with the box set so that other users who do not have the built in IR receiver can us it. Also, I would suggest an iMovie update (transitions sometimes take forever).
2. iWork 06. I keep hearing about these rumors about "Numbers". I LOVE this idea!!! The faster I can get away from Micro$oft's evil clutches, the better!!
3. Mac mini, iBook updates to Intel. I think that these two models would be a good test bed for the Intel transition. I would also suggest that they do Powerbook with the Intels as well. There are so many people saying that they should wait until revision Bs.... but I don't think so. These MOBOs have been out for a while, so I would say that it is pretty well established and most bugs worked out. Besides, they need a starting place, and this seems to be as good as any starting spot.
4. iHome. Absolutly CRUTICAL right now. They got a lot of good press about Front Row, and it is time that they invaded the Living Room. Microsoft is already there, but they have a piss-poor idea of a media center. It is time that Apple took the lead in this, and showed how a media center is supposed to be.
</speculation>
This is just what I think Apple should release. They have done a lot with the iPods as of recent, but lets not forget their bread and butter.

"Absolutly" "CRUTICAL" eh.
1) pie charts of how iPods are beating up on everyone
2) new iPod shuffle
3) iWork 06
4) iLife 06
5) Monitors (overdued IMHO)
Probables:
1) PVR
2) anything w/Intel processor
3) announcement for the upcoming 1 billionth song contest on iTune
4) first sighting of Leopard
Long-shot:
1) Settlement w/ Apple Records
5) Monitors (overdued IMHO)
Um, no. Although the current iMac panels are currently better than the ACD ones, I still don't think new monitors are a "for sure". A "possible", yes.
4) first sighting of Leopard
That's far more "for sure" than monitors.
The 23 is OK and the 30" is fantastic. I might only expect new displays when the Powermac becomes Intel, probably by middle 2007. Then we will see a complete redesign and maybe a much larger than 30" monitor to be used as home entertainment solution.
