This and iTunes only selling video at _all_ in UK and US IIRC. But wait: AppleTV *IS* high def already. 720p only, but that certainly is enough for a while, mainly because *if* iTMS goes HD for video content, they probably _won't_ go 1080i or 1080p in the first move.

One more thing (wishful thinking) : VMware certified Xserves... (mmmh, VirtualCenter with Xserves...)

the only problem is HD would be lke 10 gigs a movie or more.

The new sub-notebook will not be tied to AT&T, that would be suicide. I wouldn't buy one if I had to pay a monthly fee for it, even though I really, really want one. The iTunes Store shouldn't support 1080p/i now anyway; it's just too many pixels, and it's really cumbersome for a large part of today's computer users. 720p is the way to go for now.

I don't think they'll make a TV, although it would be interesting, and I would possibly get one for the sake of how much I trust the brand. The AppleTV is rather good right now anyway, and I don't think the inclusion of games or a gamepad would turn anyone on too much.

Phenomenal market share stats and a killer sub-notebook would do it for me.

(And btw, it's not friggin called the "iTouch", and I don't understand why so many people call it that.)

...? AppleTV reworked, new screens. AppleTV uses your TV set as the screen. Do you imply they'd create their own TV? Could be interesting, but I don't think they're into that much. One could probably use an Apple Cinema Display somehow for AppleTV, but I'm not sure it'd make much sense. It's cheaper to use a "simple" TV. (I've put simple in quotes because a TV does more than a computer display.)

I probably would buy the HD TV from apple right away if they made one,because hopefully they would allow you connect to it from your mac and maybe the next line of the AppleTV would actually be a TV and the Apple TV would be built in and have a 3.5 in hard drive, now that would be sweet.

And I forgot... Steve will annouce the Beatles on iTMS ! This will at least take 10 minutes...

Cheaper Cinema Displays!!! And a new MacBook, with a 11"-12" screen and lighter.
