$79, that seems like a lot for a program that really doesn't do all that much!

I would just be happy to get some details about the new Intel Macs. I predict that the Mini and iBook will be the first to move to Intel because the consumers of those products will not be as concerned with the processor as "pro" users of other Apple products will be. I'm probably completely wrong, but we'll see what happens in January!

i hear it is going to be included with iLife and will cost 49 dollars for iLife 06 and the remote will be an extra 50.

Just means i have to get a USB hub for my powermac now :/

I heard that Steve is gonna wear a black turtleneck and blue jeans.



and I'm thinkin' intel mac minis. that sounds right.

Personally speaking... 80gb iPod, pretty please. And further price reductions on Cinema Displays.

Predictions? Intel something, maybe Powerbook, iBook or Mini.

I confidently predict iLife 2006 will be launched.

(And I'll quit while I'm ahead).

ilife 06 and a preview of the next OS X revision. I hope they release an updated Final Cut Pro/express/motion. I hope nothing on ipod cause i just bought one... Maybe and intel imac, my parents old PEE-CEE is craping out i would love for them to replace with a new imac.

yeah, that would really be something different

i would also like to see frontrow, photobooth and some suprise
bundled with iLife '06.

Front Row could probably be a part of iLife. It brings together everything quite nicely for viewing and listening. A remote and adapter could be optional.

Anyways Front Row on a Mac Mini is all I want out of MWSF '06.

haha.

There's been a lot of fuss about widescreen ibooks...

I predict that Steve will wear a black turtleneck and blue jeans.

I wish that he wore a red shirt with a hot pink suede blazer and purple corduroys as well as one of those colorful umbrella hats. Oh yes, don't forgot the walking cane. And white tap dance shoes.



iLife '06
intel iBooks
intel Mac minis (???)
Preview of intel PowerBooks - later ship date
Front Row on all macs - remote included
Updated Airport Express and Airport Extreme Base Station

one more thing...

Five anodized aluminum tickets will be placed inside the boxes of five Macs (1 iBook, PowerBook, Mac mini, iMac, Powermac)

The winners of these anodized aluminum tickets will enter 1 Infinite Loop.

Your destiny awaits.

Powerbook "G5"!

I'm hoping that they'll add a spreadsheet to iWork. That would be enough of an incentive for me to finally get rid of Appleworks.

I reckon it's pretty safe to assume iLife and iWork '06, and Intel iBooks.

I hope they launch Intel iMacs - I'm planning on buying one in February anyway, so it'd be great to be bang up to date.

price reduction to the 30" ACD would make me buy one ^_^

iDVD HD!
iMovie 4560p Edition!
PowerBook G5!
40 inch Display(4560 by 2145)
PowerMac Pentium D 5.0Ghz
iTunes 8!
Leapard 10.5.-1(Beta)
Geforce FX 8800(1024mb vram!)

Seems like I got it down.

how is this "official"? just wondering

and i really hope the rumors are true that the intel ibooks will be released then.

PowerBook G5s at MWSF! Or maybe next Tuesday!

Why can't the Powerbook G5 thing just go away and DIE!?

I'd like to see some progress on the Intel transition, hopefully with something being introduced. It'd be nice to see what's coming with Leopard and maybe larger iPods.
