iMovie could do with a few more themes 
iWeb being redesigned is welcomed. Although, would of preferred if they just had more business / ecommerce related themes.
Looking forward to this.

Great... just as I've bought the Mac Box set including iLife '09 to upgrade my Tiger installation to Snow Leopard
As for the mystery app, one of the following:
As for the mystery app, one of the following:
- Allows you to open certain iOS apps in OSX (fits with touchscreen iMac rumours and new hardware)
- Facetime for Mac - allows any Mac with an iSight to connect to other Facetime enabled devices - would certainly fit with the 'millions of Facetime devices' statement
As others have said iWeb has always been a short step away from a brilliant application that was deliberately hobbled by built in limitations. Many of which can be circumvented with third party apps but what a shame that is required.
I would also hope it is fully HTML5 compliant.
Support for iPad and iPhone site development as well as OS X without the need to dive into the iOS SDK. I can dream can't I?
I also hope it fully allows the creation of multiple sites (not within one project) without the need for third party apps. I also hope it upgrades existing sites without breaking them.
In addition to snippets I really hope iWeb will add the ability to add code such as Analytics etc.
A simple drag and drop box just like the snippets that writes additional header info would be awesome.
Built in database capability using drag and drop elements taking advantage of FileMaker / Bento type power which Apple own anyway. The current Blog page already creates a database style infrastructure but I'd like to see this vastly more flexible and adaptable. I am talking about the ability to create not only Google Docs type forms but dynamic cloud hosted relational databases too.
Finally, how about the ability to create and save design templates that can be exported too. That would create a whole new industry.
My iLife '11 wants:
- iDVD merged into iMovie
- GarageBand+ with new iTunes LP creator
- HTML 5 iWeb
- iImage: A new app for image editing, a simplified Photoshop
My fingers are crossed!

Apple wouldn't want people to pay for an app just to be able to buy and use Apps in the first place. Think about it, it would be ridiculous, if Apple wants to make Apps more popular, it would do it for free. You buy an iPhone and you can download Apps. You pay for the hardware but you don't pay to be able to use Apps! Plus iLife is for content creation mostly...
Unless they modified Time Machine to also be able to browse the web in the future, I doubt they could make iWeb fully HTML5 compliant. At most, I can see an integrated video tag player that you just need to include (and it includes all relevant Javascript code required) and a few Canvas template apps which would still be a good step forward for people that rely on it or things like Dreamweaver (which already has these HTML5 features).
HTML5 right now is far from finalized, except the video and canvas tags. And those are mostly just a big bunch of Javascript to manipulate the DOM to get them to do anything worthwhile.
Personally, VI is the best website maker and it supports all features of every HTML release, even future updates to the spec, so I don't see a reason to use anything else.
Touch on a device with a connected mouse is much inferior and much less precise. A touch based drawing app would require a seperate hardware purchase for most Macs and would be a toy if anything. I still say a image manipulation app is one of the best guesses so far, but it's not going to be touch based that's for sure.
Surely if they released an image editor it would be called MacPaint despite it not conforming to the rest of the i-titles.
My guess for the Mystery app will be some form of graphics editor, looking maybe like Apple's Motion.
As for the disappearing iDVD - that is just a continuation of Apple's insane love affair with all content being hosted online and their hatred towards Blu-Ray.
They could be justified with YouTube's 4K announcement. But I for one, will be storing my content (professional and hobby) on DVDs.

and the most important, top of the list, feature of this box is.....
"- ILife '11 will be sold for $79". The rest of them, oh well..
I think/hope they'll combine iDVD with iMovie.
A voice inside me tells me, the mystery app will we a basic app authorization program for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch.
How about something to compete against Flash? A Flash-like app that allows you to make interactive content using advanced hardware such as a mouse and not just coding, and it would end up being an HTML5 website.
Or an image editor, but I doubt it would be as professional as Photoshop, since Apple would probably release a pro app separately like Final Cut Pro. Maybe something Pixelmator-ish...

Thank you very much but I'll stick to Pro apps!
Final Cut Pro > iMovie
Soundtrack Pro > Garageband
Aperture > iPhoto
DVD Studio Pro > iDVD
Coda > iWeb
and if you want to count iTunes as part of iLife, I'm really going considering to be considering Moovida http://www.moovida.com/ as soon as the Mac version is released.

Mac4ever claims (via Macworld.co.uk) that Apple will finally update its popular iLife suite on August 7th, 2010. The new version will be dubbed iLife '11 and is said to include a number of new features:While there had been some claims circulating last week about iLife '10, the iLife '11 name would be more consistent with Apple's past behavior. Apple introduced iLife '08 in August, 2007. The last major revision to iLife was iLife '09 which was announced at Macworld SF 2009.
