Afterall Steve has quite a chunk & a history with that company.

I also wonder if iTV will be not be only 1 device more of a line of devices w/ 1 main unit with other stacking units for cable cards, pvrs, HD/Blue ray players, etc. Perhaps that is what the USB is for. Hopefully they will bump the res in the ITMS because as of now, the quality seems to be getting worse from some shows like Battlestar Galactica. Although the major cellular providers want full control over the software on the system I believe it is likely that Apple will benefit from the slightly established Disney Mobile. Afterall Steve has quite a chunk & a history with that company. I dont think they will release an iPhone that has under 10 or 20 gigs of memory due to the recent upgrades in flash & I do believe it will come at macworld.

I also wonder if iTV will be not be only 1 device more of a line of devices w/ 1 main unit with other stacking units for cable cards, pvrs, HD/Blue ray players, etc. Perhaps that is what the USB is for.

Keeping those separate is ridiculous. .mac also needs an upgrade bigtime. syncing between systems needs to be addressed. powerbooks w/ dual harddrives raided would be sweet. Quicktime Pro - this should be thrown free in as well. Here’s what I would like to see:

One more thing could be an ultra portable Mac lineup to satisy all those 12 inch powerbook fans. I could be wrong too !

I would imagine that the iphone (or what ever they choose to call it) will be gven its own keynote and if itunes 7.5 focuses on mobile content, it would be at that same event. iTV and Leopard will be the big two things shown off in with much greater detail at macworld. Possily even talk about new airport devices with 802.11n support. iLife/iWork are no brainers - we will definitly see the 07 version. In the end, the one more thing is going to be something to really spur sales - maybe a new macbook pro or ultra thin macbook. Though never underestimate that steve won't pull a rabit out of his hat.
