I would love to see them announce an update for the iPod Touch and iPhone which would allow users to download software to them. I.e. finally open up the device to consumers.

jjsdad

- meant just "Mac Mini". Not "iMac"! ;)

BTW, anyone who likes Steve Jobs should check this out:

It's a treasure trove of compiled Stevenote finds and many other Apple-related gems.

Torley

I'd love to have news of an iMac Mini update - I've been dreaming of making one my home media centerpiece (after reading certain comments in Lifehacker) and I've heard the rumors some months ago about a refresh... nothing so far, but I remain hopeful!

Torley

I am looking for the new iPhone with the 37" screen and unlimited free movie downloads.

mikeq

Definitely hoping for release of the AppStore for iPhone / iPod touch. Having a jailbroken touch is nice and all, but I've got a feeling some of the better apps from bigger corps are gonna be on the AppStore.

UnknownVariable

I want to hear that Steve Jobs will burn his turtlenecks and will wear a luchador uniform from now on, causing IT staff geek chic to undergo a small revolution.

Chef

Though highly unlikely, I still want a Mac Mid-Tower between the Mini and the Mac Pro. Or at the very least a dual monitor addition to the Mac Mini.

HaloZero

3G iphone going on sale TODAY hopefully. because i sold my iphone last friday in anticipation, and am already dying to have an iphone again.

brettt

Free iphones for all the people that have lost their job and can't afford one anymore!

VakeroRokero

@jjsdad: They already announced that in February, and has been in public beta since...

samhealer42

16GB iPod nano. Better yet, 32GB.

digdug

Listed in increasing order of absurdity:

iphone apps live tomorrow.

new .mac that rocks instead of sucks (and doesn't have a hellka stupid name like MobileMe)

10.6 that makes leopard as solid as tiger and 7x as fast. And has quicksilver built in.

A program by apple that runs any windows code under os x without virtualization (like Wine but 1000x better) but keeps it seperate from the os so we don't suffer for microsoft's incompetence.

Quine

2-for-1 stock split.

Deprong Mori

I would love to hear Steve Jobs say that he is giving out free iPhones to poor people like us.

Well jokes apart I definitely would like to hear a much better iPhone with support for MMS and the other missing features from iPhone1.0, also having the 3G model would be great.

Keith Dsouza

the resignation of steve jobs and dismemberment of apple.

but hey i can dream right?

3p5i10n

System optimizations and better hardware upgrades, thats about it. (getting a Macbook Pro free in a couple months)

geoffcbassett

I want to hear someday that Apple took all the Windows code, rewrote it from scratch in a Unix based way, the very same way they rewrote the Apple code for OS X, so that now Windows will actually work like it should. And it will be released under an open source / GPL license.

Okay, one can dream, eh?

kentlee7

The Apple iCar, which runs on song downloads from iTunes.Fill up at any hotspot! Although the 37" iPhone sounds intriguing. . .

bobbyrognlien

MacBook replacement. Bar none. Bought this thing just over a month ago and am as of yet unimpressed. My '05 ibook did the trick just fine. And have my Tibook not fallen apart on me, I would have kept that.

smackswell

Flying cars.

DogHead

I also would like to see a mid-range tower, but I know this is unlikely. Apple doesn't want to provide something between the Pro and Mini/iMac ranges because they figure it'll undermine sales of the higher end models. Currently, you're forced to go Pro if you don't want a really craptacular video card and any upgrade potential if you want a Mac. This is why I alternate new computer purchases as Mac and PC. The PC can be upgraded and used for gaming. The Mac is frozen in time. I use the Mac until it is so hopelessly outdated that it can't run current software.

ShariC

I'll go for a fresh design for the Macbook Pro - hmmm and wireless power to go with that 37" iphone

uffe pep

@salmonmoose: Thats funny cos I was just thinking how cool it would be if someone from google came on with steven p and said they were scrapping android to focus on iPhone development! :p

pixelkid

I'd like to hear him announce that they're going to stop with the outrageously unbelievable markup on the pricing of their products and drop down to a level of simply unreasonable markup. :-)

*dons flameproof suit*

Talthybius

FREE POINES!!

vraa

That they're trashing the idea of the iPhone and are making an upgrade to Android.

salmonmoose

A lot of details on 10.6 and new iPhone + price drop and hopefully the iPhone will be in shops soon in the Netherlands.

Reuel

Something for us Canadians would be nice. How about more info about that new fangled gadget you Yanks have called the iPhone? Stick it with some 3G goodness and I'll fork over my money.

Silver_Back

@kentlee7: Funny you should mention that. Maybe Apple didn't do it, but check this out.

helixed

well i don't want to see new mac mini's not really as i've just brought 6 for a network installation. but if they do i want to see the exact same dimensions used again

cheaper macbook air? eee pc rivals maybe?

Gonzie

@Talthybius: Just yesterday I priced up a self built machine that matches the specs of the cheapest 24" iMac and the self built version was about £150 more expensive!

pixelkid

I'd like to see:
1) a vanilla OSX install for all x86 systems. I'd go to the store and buy three copies tommorow. Bye Windows. I don't want Applecare or helplines, I just want to be legal.
2) an AppleTV with like a 1 TB drive inside (or at least a user-upgradable drive). Won't happen though, at least not within a budget that mere humans can afford.
3) A new firmware update for my 6G Classic, that fixes the tinny sound.

It'll be: iPhone3G, UK movies in the iTS, same old.

Al Iguana

OSX opensource...

Or, at least, legal installation on non-apple hardware. Doesn't need to be supported, just legal.

krank23

Legal installation for OS X on regular X86 hardware. That's all I want.

Swarlanis

I would like to hear them talk about a redesign of the Macbook Pros, but I don't really see that happening since that would just redirect the spotlight from the 3G iPhone announcement.

Resolution

i think he should say "i'm sorry for pushing off all the over priced, over hyped junk you suckers, er, consumers purchased from apple. you've made me a very wealthy person from my advertising gimmicks"

rand0mCreep

I would like them to announce an iATKOS-esque release for all x86 machines.

benpant

I would like them to finally start addressing the impact their manufacturing techniques have on greenhouse emissions.

OX4

An eeeMac/MacBook Nano, or bluetooth keyboard support for iPhone 2. That's all.

NineTailedFox

New Macbook Pro. Getting one soon.
The current mid-ranged ones are perfect for me, but a bit pricey. So if they upgrade, I can get the new lowend one, and be a happy bunny!

slasher_65

* We are cutting all our prices!
* We've dropped AT&T, you can use any carrier with the iPhone!

ticklemeozmo

Opensourceing software, and Itunes going DRM free, otherwise I don't care.

CyberCowboy

I want to hear, "We're coming out with an 80GB iPhone that's thinner and cheaper than the 16GB iPhone!"

:)

Lew

Check out my video to get a free iPhone:

+ Watch video

Lew

real GPS and video phone capability mostly...

superchou

GPS+3G iPhone and the ability to run Mac OS on non Apple hardware (without having to Hackintosh)

sebf

I just want all the god damn 3G iPhone rumours to stop cluttering my RSS inbox (like 20 related items a day now).

Urza

16-32g iPod Nano.

iCar, run on laptop batteries much like the fabled Tesla brand cars. (less sporty and expensive for average bob)

Mac that will run windows games (the only reason why I haven't made the switch yet)

financial aid

jeevzycreezy

I want them to announce that they're gonna stop with those ridiculously overused silhouette ipod advertisements.

Lazarus

I'd love putting Mac on my PC...
3G iphone
macbooks with multi-touch screens so i can put windows 7 once its out (as im considerin a macbook)
"we're coming out with snow leopard and multi-touch screens for 100$"

vishal90

On the iPhone front:

A new iPhone (black/red back) with a camera on the front for iChat calls that go through either wifi or 3G. Actually a bit slimmer (sort of beveled on top and bottom). With increased battery life. Only one model, 16gb, but very low price.

Then Apple announces iChat for Windows so everyone can be one happy iChat family, video-calling each other from their iPhones and computers.

ollie

* locally-run GTD todo list application.
* copy and paste
(stuff palm has been doing for 15 years now)

dmccall

Unlocked, non-overpriced iPhone. If they dropped them from 499 to say 150 (with no contract), their sales would shoot through the roof.

caedus

That he is bringing back the "Woz"

YaleBloor

I'd love to see updated apple cinema displays, and perhaps a new 40'' screen with 5000 pixels horizontal resolution.

mario_grgic

@Deprong Mori: 2-for-1 stock split.

THIS. I came in here to say, "Anything that'll make my stock go higher."

heavylee-again

how about stop this mac hype from here. I like this site without it. Let gizmodo handle this.

lhcomment

I'm still waiting for an iPad, a tablet large enough to surf on but small enough to fit a hip-hopper's pocket or somewhere inside my Scottevest. Like something they had on the Star Trek Enterprise series. Dockable if needed, but otherwise just a slim slab of Apple goodness.

llauren

Anything! Just get it over with so all the tech Podcasts and Engadget can stop reporting rumors about what color the hold button on the iPhone is going to be. It's a damned phone! Sheesh!

getjustin

@lhcomment: whuh???

pixelkid

How do Apple's profit margins compare to Exxon-Mobil's?

Capone

The rumours and speculations around the 3G iPhone have become unbearable..

Please end my (and for that matter, everybody's) misery..

Neo

A Mac Mini update, definitely. Sweet little machine, but getting outdated in comparison to the rest of the Mac "consumer" line.

Penryn processor, bump up the hard drive space on both models, and update the graphics (Intel GMA X3100 ?). And I wouldn't cry if all models had the Superdrive (really now, CDRW + DVD reader is pretty lame).

dhuff

I want to hear that they've killed off the Mac vs. PC tv spots. They were funny the first few times and now they're just false.
Actually I would love to hear whatever it takes to shut up the fanboys. Tactile keyboard FTW!

wrestlingnrj

Personally? A price cut on the iPod touch. :)

waleed.z

I want another 10 points on AAPL! ^_^

ww2db.com

3G iPhone
Death of DRM
Death of 'Jailed' Hardware
New MacBookPro
New Mac Mini
More Games on Mac
OS X Stability and Speed Improvements
Price reductions that make their products available to us regular superhumans

seffyroff

how about cut and paste for the iphone, or flash support or the ability to save files / graphics like you can on a palm...or any of the other myriad of basic feature that apple left out of the darn thing in favor of being able to resize pictures with 2 fingers. (big whoop) Oh and LINUX support!

I'll live with my iphone until the android phones his the market, then buh-bye crapple!

spidermedic

MacOS X to every PC (x86 capable)
iPhone 3G (and future devices) with standard USB connection
iPhone/iTouch SDK without restrictions
no required software for sync with iPhone/iTouch. (standard drag'n drop; MSC/UMS).

not less... if so, Apple still a no-go.

JrezIN

32gb+ 3g iPhones and that subsidizing thing.
Ability for whiny brats who don't like Apple news to simply not see it, ever.

hominidx

@Capone:

Exxon: about 10%
Apple: about 15%
Microsoft: about 28%

Deprong Mori

Two things.

1) OS X for non Apple hardware.
2) A mini MacBook similar to the Asus EEE (both in size, features and price).

Zundfolge

Highly unlikely, but... 13" Macbook Pro! Ditch the DVD drive, add a vid card, price between 13" Macbook and 15" Pro. It is what I wanted the Air to be.

nettoyeur

Netflix streaming movie support on Apple TV

tmadel

@Deprong Mori: Can you give me the source for that data? If this is indeed true, no one who owns a mac can ever complain about "evil money grubbing corporations" again. (This would shut up about %80 of my the liberal arts majors that I know)

Dom

iTransporter - travel instantly anywhere.

el_bob

@Silver_Back: Haven't you heard the ole 'mercan adage: "As American as APPLE pie"? ;-)

As for me: color/shmolor. I don't care about iPhones in different colors I want added usability. Give me the App Store and I'll be happy. Then 3G at a ridiculously low price. Oh, and how about an international phone/data plan that doesn't cost you and arm and a leg?

I'd take a mid-range Mac tower too.

Outtacontext

The iNewton, whatever they'll call it, would be sweet. But improbable. Just a sweet new iPhone so I can end the year-long drought and finally get one.

davelawrence8

@el_bob: iPizza. Instant slice.

caedus

@Dom:

Can you give me the source for that data?

Sure. Yahoo Finance. Enjoy!

Deprong Mori

@Deadhacker:

Um, they are leaving you alone. Nobody is forcing you to buy Apple or Microsoft products. If you don't like their sales pitches, ignore them and listen to someone else, but don't fault them for contributing to the world economy.

Deprong Mori

I want to see the exact same thing from Apple that I want to see from Microsoft: Nothing. Hey, Ballmer and Jobs, if I want your bloated, overpriced, unstable, overhyped, underpowered products, I'll go looking for them. Until then, leave me the Hell alone.

Deadhacker

macbook pro new release !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KaceyMagumbalee

@llauren: Nokia puts out a great small tablet PC that will do 802.11, and allow browsing over a bluetooth capable cellphone. the line is 770, 800, 810. I have the 800 and they are great, daily I find out new things that the device can do, and it runs a version of Debian Linux, if you don't want to do linux it's transparent, but if you're a hacker it's a great added feature. Think of it as the Ipod Touch done right about 4 years before Apple did it.

CyberCowboy

@Outtacontext: Mmmm Apple pie! ;D

Silver_Back

@caedus: "If they dropped them from 499 to say 150 (with no contract), their sales would shoot through the roof."

They'd lose money on every unit, though, which would not be terribly strategically sound.

NineTailedFox

Itunes for linux.

TammyFlavus

Iphone has now shipped to Canada, and can be bought right now.

also an update to the touch/iphone... cut and paste is now an option.

Lastly, an update to OSX... to make the stupid END and HOME keys do what they are suposta do. (pc user switched for work)

and one more thing... update to OSx that has a universal rename key.

that is all

theMopie

mopie992

That Apple just made an OS that is 100% compatible with windows, while still working like a mac, that comes on a quad core computer and only cost $100.

ethanthekiwi

a Mac Mini update. I'ev got my fingers crossed.

mrvertigo

64gb iPod Touch, and some nice new software

Zabi

#1. Drop in prices so a mac will no longer cost twice as much as a comparable PC.

#2. Iphone will run a UI tweaked version of android.

#3. Condemnation of smug mac fanboys.

deputyjones

That all Macs come pre-packaged with a Linux partition?

No?

metaslugx

i want them to annouce a emai lclient fully exhange compatible so i can move my business to macs

mattflash123

Hmmm... iPhones "currently unavailable" for purchase at the Apple store...

onionidevil

Screw the damn phone.

How about Ogg Vorbis support? Or really, any of the plentiful non-suck, non-Apple proprietary audio formats out there that all sound better than the 3 sad, pathetic formats the iPod supports.

Or just get rid of the encryption and let us run Rockbox on the 6G iPods, since no one else is bothering to make high-capacity mp3 players to compete with Apple anymore.

I would start paying attention to the iPhone if the Apple Nazis let people choose their carrier. I had Cingular/AT&T for a few years. Never. Going. Back. Ever.

WalrusOct9

OS X Leopard for PC !

izaq

I have to echo Al Iguana.

1) An OS X that can be installed on a PC the same way Windows and Linux can.

and

2) either a "practical" sized hard drive (we are dealing with video content here...hopefully HiDef pretty soon) or the USB port turned on on the AppleTV (without the hacks).

The only thing keeping me from buying the Apple TV is lack of indigenous storage. I don't want to have to depend on a network - wired or not - for video playback.

Yeah, I'm lazy. But I have better things to do with my limited free time than troubleshoot network issues......

droptop_ss

- 3G iPhone (37" preferred)
--- iChat for video conferences (front facing camera)
--- AppStore
--- MMS Support
--- GPS
--- Loud Internal Speakers
--- Stereo Bluetooth Support
--- On Sale After Keynote!
- OSX 10.6
- Macbook Pro design update

dnite

That they will no longer support DRM. Produce more lively/less sterile designs. Never again brand a new product with the now trite "i" prefix.

bobdobs

That he will be appearing at the new Apple Store opening in Sydney Australia later this week!

CliveGirdham

I'm hoping Jobs is moving to Tibet to become a buddhist and the price of apple stuff will more than halve.

I can only dream...
