Apple announcements

I really haven’t read to much speculation as to what Steve Jobs will announce in 3 hours on behalf of Apple today, but here’s a couple things I’d like to see.

1. New MacBook Pros with killer amounts of memory and a blu-ray drive. Ultimately, I want a blu-ray writer as I own a HD movie camera and would love to make my own Blu-ray discs. However, I would at least love to play my Blu-ray discs on my laptop.

2. Killer iPhone software. This was already announced so every one knows there will be an update today, but I hope it’s available today. I want to see the next gen software without hacking my iPhone.

3. .Mac. It has been a failure and I haven’t subscribed in years. It would be cool to be able to sync phones, laptops, internet on the go, no wires.

4. New iPhone. I won’t be buying one any time soon, but as a geek I’d like to see if Apple can solve the 3G vs battery issues. Things I wish my iPhone had: better camera, video, play Vimeo, better Notes app (the font sucks too), and like every gadget more storage. I think GPS would be cool, but I don’t see myself using it too much, but maybe I would if it was on a reliable 3G network.

5. Apple TV. I want to have an Apple TV, but I want full 1080 HD support. Even if iTunes doesn’t support it, so what? I would like to at least encode or acquire full HD elsewhere and play it. I’d also like AppleTV to have a browser of sorts so I can view Vimeo and Hulu.
