Next generation iPhone with three killer additions (the absence of which still holds me back from buying them for all my family):
1) Turn-by-turn GPS
2) Video capture using enhanced resolution back-facing camera
3) Built in front-facing iSight, allowing (cost-free) wifi videoconferencing with desktop Macs via iChat.
And while they’re at it, bring back the iChat video answer phone function that was pulled from early betas: http://www.macrumors.com/2006/12/13/leopard-ichat-answering-machine/

what Mishet said. Also throw in a Blue Ray drive and make me happy.
OH! and, BTW, make an ADAPTOR for your NEW monitor connections so I don’t have to throw away my PERFECTLYL GOOD APPLE CINEMA DISPLAY with an ADC connector, for goodness sakes! It’s gonna really chap me to have waited three years for the mythical midrange tower and not be able to buy it because I can’t afford another monitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

A smart portable digital projector that does not need to be tethered to a laptop to show Keynote or PowerPoint presentations, rather, could be managed by an iPhone or iPod.

Bring back the matte screen option on all laptops!

And make sure matte screens are available on the new Cinema displays, too.

Also Apple should install a Firewire 400 port on the new MacBooks (which lack Firewire entirely) — and also install at least one extra Firewire 400 port on the new MacBookPros, which now include merely one Firewire 800 port.

Although I know I can daisy-chain devices on the Firewire 800, extra 400 ports on the pro models are still very useful — and imperative on the new MacBooks, which presently lack any Firewire at all.

It’s too bad my wish list has to be so backward looking — but Apple’s new laptops are badly flawed without a matte option and more Firewire.
