phone
Even though I have no immediate interest in the phone, I'm rooting for it because many analysts expect such a release would increase Apple's stock - which is currently more important to me than what new gadget I actually want. My second pick would be a new iPod for the same reason.
phone
I really only want to see an iPodPhone announced if it does something unique- like a VOIP/GSM combo that you can use for free when on VOIP. I'd hate to see Apple release YA GSM phone that plays music.
30" iMac
I really want a 30" (or larger!) iMac for my living room!
30" iMac
A 30" would be nice but I would also like to see it or the 24" have a single Xeon processor.
Dual Monitor Support In The Mini
And if not dual monitor support in the mini.
iTV
How come "iTV" is not one of the options?
iTV
Read my post on the main site -- iTV is already announced and known.
iTV
Maybe I haven't read enough articles or rumors, but I don't really consider the iTV to be fully "announced". Besides, what they really need to make is a full-blown HD DVR that can tune cable and satellite and use AirPort Zippy (I just made up that name to give a name to 802.11n) and Ethernet to stream video/audio to/from Macs and also allow searching for shows and configurations to be performed from any Mac as well as via an RF remote (no more IR remotes, please - my coffee table is in the way when I slouch on the couch). Basically squeeze a Mac, AirPort, and my DirecTV/TiVo box into one easy to use, flexible appliance.
iTV
Steve Jobs announced it on stage. You can't get much more "announced" than that.
iTV
I guess when I hear Apple "announce" something, it usually means "place your order now, cuz it's shipping". Hence my reasoning.
iTV
Let's all chant together: HD PVR, HD PVR! Come on, Apple, you know we want it! The day Apple announces it my buggy, POS, Motorola DCT-6412 gets sledge hammered.
i'm torn...
an ultra-light mac book pro would be great... but i'd also really like to see some kind of pda from apple.
Not much...
Personally, I just want an updated iMac and 10.5 :p I really want to get a new computer, but considering the time since the last iMac was released, and the imminence of 10.5, I'm waiting for both to be released before I order. I just hope a n updated iMac doesn't get released significantly before 10.5, forcing me to have to wait for yet another revision... :)
Not much...
10.5 isn't slated for release until "spring 2007" or so
Hardware....
how about a low-cost upgrade program for the poor saps, like me, who bought G*-based machines just before Apple introduced Intel-based machines?
Hardware....
but why? Apple still fully supports PowerPC.
Asteroid!!
No, seriously... how can Apple sue people about a product it never releases??
Gaming Mac, NOT console....
What surprises me is that after all of the years that people have been going on and on about getting an "X-Mac" that it was not in the poll.
Want vs. Likely
With Intel introducing its quad-core chips in January, it's likely that Apple will announce 8-way pro machines, whether or not they'll be shipping in quantity.
Want vs. Likely
If they updated iTunes to allow games, like the iPod, then iTV should allow you to play those games on your TV. They just need to add a wireless controler.
Mac (Not Pro) w/dual video capability
I really want them to come out with a tower in the sub $1,500 range so that those of us that don't need more power than an iMac can stll have multiple drives and multiple displays.
Mac (Not Pro) w/dual video capability
me too (though I couldn't care less about dual video)
Mac (Not Pro) w/dual video capability
I 100% Agree with your idea a lower ended Mac Pro is needed, this would further increase Apple's market share!
Airport
I expect an entirely new line of Airport products, using 802.11n.
Black MacBook Pro
Black MacBook Pro
mac midi
Something like the Hp 7600 small form factor case. Room for 1 or 2 PCI express cards and a 3.5" hard drive, maybe 4 Ram slots, etc. Upgradeable video would be nice too, but not essential. I almost bought the HP, but it cost $150 more than the mini when I configured it close to equally.
yeeeii
i was expecting that the true video ipod would be way ahead.
Mouse
Nothing -nothing could be more relevant than a beautifull ERGONOMICAL CORRECT 2 button mouse in beautifull white Apple-design.
More Mac Mini output options
I want to see more output options for the Mac Mini, including:
Mac midi
The one thing I really miss in Apple's line-up is something between a Mac mini and a Mac Pro.
Power Cell (Gaming Mac; NOT console part II)
I'll assume Magnus Dredd's specs (earlier post) are what a serious gamer would want (I'm not one). I would add to that one or more Power Cell co-processors. Google up "power cell processor board" and you'll see a plethora of PCIe boards available for your average PC. With Apple's PowerPC experience and resources, I don't think it would take a whole lot of engineering to do the same thing a whole lot better.
MacBook Pro + Leopard + Timemachine
I know this won't happen,...yet,...but it seems to me to be logical,...
Another Remote... Blended with an iPod
I suspect a Newton-sized device that will probably be billed primarily as a remote control type device that will connect and control ("remotely" :-) )to the upcoming iTV as well as any Mac. Possibly just a tiny bit larger than an iPod but with a larger screen.
iPod for readers
An iPod that plays ebooks and text files, thanks. The key is support for bookmarks.
Mac Anti-Tablet
I'm looking for a slate like device running MacOSX. Some here are calling it a Newton 2, and that's fine by me. The main difference between this device and a "Tablet", is that the connotation of a tablet brings to mind those difficult to use Windows Tablet PCs, with the clickable stylus.
An ultra-compact "tablet" Mac
Something around A5 in size, using on screen handwriting recognition (Inkwell?), wireless networking and bluetooth, line in/out, 2 express54 slots (for card reader(s) and any other mobile peripherals) and a docking station that props up the tablet as a screen, with SuperDrive, keyboard, mouse, FW and USB ports.
ipod Nano >8GB
I would like to see a Nano that has 16GB or more. I know Samsung NAND chips were being fab'd at 32GB back in May of 2006 so we might just see something.
New kind of computers
A multi-touch interaction screen computer. Maybe a tablet kind but surely without keyboard and mouse.
I heard that Apple was a close partner of Jeff Han MTIE ("Multi-touch In teraction Experiments"). Take a look: The MTIE Webpage Presentation at TED It's now time to "touch" the work.
24" iMac and xServe mini
I would like to see 24" iMac with 2 Core 2 Duo Intel processors.
I would also like to see an xServe mini with 2x2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeons with remote and iPod dock running Front Row. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rstrb8r/158115088/in/set-72157594152270838/
A Faster iMac
A Faster iMac. Sooner than later. 8-)
Mac Pro 8x
I'd love to see Apple release an 8 core Mac Pro at MWSF.
Lawn mower
I was more interested in OS news updates or iWork spreadsheets. |
