Comments on: What Apple should (and shouldn't) announce at Macworld

Don Reisinger takes a look at the rumors surrounding Macworld and tells you why some will come true, while others simply will not.

I would also expect to see more integration of the iPhone and iPod Touch. Clearly those two are the direction wants to take is media players and they really are mobile PC's. With the SDK coming out in February I would think Apple wants to more closely integrate both devices (to push their sales more) to really make them your "life in a device" rather than just your "media life" in a device.

a bunch of words: macbook touch. oh yeah.

rumour has it blu-ray support in the macpro.

[pkscout]

I put that at 0%. There is absolutely no way Apple would rev the Mac Pro line and then one week later announce BlueRay. That would be a debacle of iPhone price drop proportions.

Apple needs to slow things down.
They are constantly shoving new products down our throats.
In just 3 years, 3 iPod nano's were released,
These new products are making people think "I dont have that, I want it"
All the time.. Some people are actually purposly breaking thier 2nd generation iPod nanos (that are still under warranty) to trade them in for the third generation. Whereas the new nano is not that amazing. Yes- it playes videos & had new programing..
But you Can't hold that many videos in a 4GB iPod if you have a lot of songs.. which should be the main reason people are buying iPods.
As for their computers, ultraportable..?
Buy a laptop. They come small enough..
End of story.
I myself, am not a fan of apple, and any of their computers or music playes.. or whatever else they make.. People dont need a new peoduct every month.

May I ask what Apple products you have owned or used for an extended period of time for which you are not a fan.

iTunes Movie Rentals
- I would personally rent tons of movies from them

Ultraportable Mac

- I would not buy one. I'm happy with their current line.

A New Apple TV

- Just add Divix Support. Apple supports MP3... Divix or Xvid is the killer app. What are they waiting for? Your competition is going to craw into this market, just like you did with Sony. Sony owned the Walkman market... They didn't want to support MP3's... then you came in and cleaned up shop. Dont let this happen to you Apple.

- I want to rent hi-def movies directly from my Apple TV. I'll sign in with my Apple Store Account. I dont mind waiting a few minutes before the 1080i or 720p movie starts, but I want the option to rent the same movie at lower resolutions for the same price.

- I'll pay 17.99 a month for unlimited movie rentals. You would eliminate NetFlix or any online movie rental place in one fell swoop.

This would interest me in Apple TV as well. Microsoft already does it with the 360 (and does a pretty good job with it too). Unfortunately I find the 360 a bit too loud to enjoy watching movies while it is on. Direct RSS or podcast subscriptions would rock too. While having to use ITunes on another machine isn't a big deal I don't see why they can't allow direct RSS feeds or podcast subscriptions since they are free anyways.
