CES gave us some nice fodder. Also, Macworld starts today, and there are plenty of rumors about what we might see in tomorrow's keynote.
My wishlist: a headless imac in a stereo component form factor that will slip into my component rack. Would love if if had the following:
-DVD R/W (superdrive)
-80gb HDD minumum (smallest drive currently available in the iMac is 80GB)
-Airport Extreme (802.11g) for streaming audio (not yet enough bandwidth for streaming video)
-Bluetooth (for use with the apple wireless mouse)
-HD out (component, DVI, HDMI) in 720p
-Full OSX with an optional UI layer specifically designed for display on the lower resolution of a tv screen
A superdrive at this pricepoint (rumored to be $499) is unlikely, I know. Still, if anything like the rest of these specs materializes, it will replace my DVD player and CD changer, making a tidy home server for both music and video.
If apple does something like this right, they won't be able to make enough of them.
