I wanted to show off my 2008 WWDC dream predictions. Feedback would be appreciated, as this is for my website.
As June is very rapidly approaching, here are my hopes for the 2008 WWDC Keynote:

First up, Steve will announce the arrival of the iPhone 2.0 software, and announce that there are some new features that were not talked about during the March presentation. These could be anything from the iControl app rumored at TUAW, to my hope- Photo Booth Mobile. Basically, a form of the Touch FX app demoed at the March presentation, but with live editing a la Photo Booth. The update will be free for iPhone ppl, and $9.99 for iPod Touch users.
The iPhone 3G will most likely come next, with built in GPS for Maps, and maybe even a new design? It will cost the same, as all iPhones will be 3G from now on.
Next, he will make some sort of Mac-Related announcement, possibly a new OS preview, or more likely, a Mac-Mini update. Displays are a possibility, but then again, they have been for 2 years, so they might not really ever happen...
Oh yeah- the one more thing. If it has not already been covered/put in the wrong place, than I would guess a new MacBook made out of Aluminum. It would have multi-touch, and be way thinner. It’d have a price drop, too. Also, a 12 inch Macbook Pro? If not that, then the always rumored, always craved Multi-Touch tablet mac. I’d want one, but I don’t know if it would be cheap enough or practical enough to do well.
Im sure that not all of this- or for that matter, any of this- will happen, but Steve- if you are reading this- please take my suggestions. I cannot wait!!!!
Well, please tell me if you like. I know almost all of this has been said before, but I wonder if I have any other people who want the same stuff. Also, feel free to hold this against me if Im wrong! :p
 
Agreed!

The iPod touch has outsized the iPhone, so I think that they should be evened up again. Perfect addition.
 
Maybe a 64GB iPod Touch if that is the case.

Apple is deliberately keeping the maximum capacity of the iPod Touch higher than the iPhone because they're trying to be fair with the whole no phone things, meaning people buying the Touch get less features... which is understandable but it's good Apple isn't deliberately making the Touch worse-off than the iPhone.

I also think it has something to do with the antenna size on the iPhone too, meaning that there isn't enough room for the bigger capacity right now.

What would be nice, though, is if the iPod Touch also got Bluetooth, a camera and (optional) 3G on a £10 per month contract, or something like that. Would be unlikely but nice if they did. Although, any possibilities of this happening haven't been announced or even rumored so don't include it in your article... I was just making a passing statement on the subject.
