What Will Apple Release This Time?

Here we are again, on the eve of the annual Macworld Expo at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Here we go again, with Steve Jobs having us Mac lovers playing guessing games (even as some of us are using those godawful Windows computers- by the way, Vista seems to be doing okay- in spite of those ugly vomit-flavored bugs and worms that seem to want to pop up...of course, in my case, that Mac deprivation is rapidly coming to an end...).

So, instead of trying to guess what Apple will release at Macworld Expo tomorrow, I submit to you- and Steve Jobs- a wish list.

1. Lower the price of Macs across the board
Yes, this includes the entry level Mac mini, right up to the top of the line Mac Pro. Drop the price by at least $100 for the Mac mini, to $200 for the MacBook line, and evewn $300 for the Mac Pro and iMac lines, and we have a deal.

2. Include WiFi; TV and FM tuner capability in the iPod (and while you're at it, make TV tuning capability standard on the Front Row interface).
Sure, Microsoft's piece of rag Zune's doing the WiFi thing, but Apple does a much better job innovating products and technology. And given the fact that we can watch video on our iPods, I think having a TV tuner inside will really help, as well as hearing FM tunes we'll later download from the iTunes Media Store.

Even if you need help with the TV tuning side, from Elgato Technologies (out of England), at least allow us Mac users to watch TV without having to use the TV Micro USB drives (not that I find anything wrong with them. In fact, I love those TV tuner drives from Elgato. Just suggesting options...).

3. Increase the screen size on the iPod.
I don't think that having a 3-4" screen on the iPod will hurt anything. If anything, having a bigger screen helps the iPod in another area- hard drive size. Look, it's likely that the iPod will sport a 100GB drive before long- hey, it could be out tomorrow. Who knows? Having a bigger screen, and refining the iPod will definitely help the iPod keep its' commanding lead.

4. Put FireWire back on the iPod.
There's no reason why the USB and FireWire ports can't cohabitate peacefully on the iPod.

I'll be back here tomorrow to see what products Apple will release.
