from teh webpage, looks like a focus on software which is pretty norm, anything you have on your wishlist?

There's rumor of an intel-based powerbook or some computer of some sort. We'll see, but I'd expect they'd probably announce progress in that area, and then release the intel macs in june.

I'm looking forward to 10.5, and am hoping for the release of FrontRow for other macs besides the new iMacs.

PowerBooks, iBooks and a MacMini are my guesses. The laptops need revisions, for sure, and I guess the MacMini will get one too to lure people.

PowerBooks will be dual core, the iBook single core and the same for the MacMini. Expect a dock in the MacMini for the iPod.

Just you wait to see how damn fast the kit is compared to the G5s and G4s. It'll curl your toes.

/me has his credit card by his computer...

I'm kinda bummed about the G5 performance with respect to the rumored intel mac performances. Still, we'll see. I'm hoping someone will get Q3 working on it, so I can indulge myself in nostalgia even as new games come out for it.

Well, like I said somewhere before, the P4 of the dev machine was as fast as any single processor G5. I'm keen to see what the dual core Intel CPUs are like given that... power of a dual G5 Mac in a laptop?
