What I’m hoping for at Macworld 2007…
November 30, 2006 — spvnLol, actually, plenty of things.. let’s see:
First and foremost, definately an iPhone. Sony ericsson downright sux.. the joystick keeps on screwing up. It’s damn irritating to use my k750i. though it is REAL useful when taking photos, but that’s pretty much the only good thing about this phone. Other than that, i really hate it. And I have no idea what Apple will put in a mobile phone if they do make one, but I think it’d be a really kul phone… I just hope that they don’t tie it down to one carrier like cingular or something like that, or else people in other countries won’t be able to use the iPhone.
Well, second of all, I hope that .Mac will become COMPLETELY FREE. I mean, come on, google is offering everyone more than 2gb for each email account, how hard would it be for Apple to introduce something like that for everyone for free, and at a decent speed too?? (cuz .mac is REALLY slow now..) i don’t exactly think it’d be that hard.. The only reason why mac users don’t use Gmail as another version of .Mac is cuz there’s juz no syncing.. Which is really what .Mac is all about. I doubt anyone would really spend that 100 US dollars a year, juz for ,Mac when they see that sites like google are offering so much space for free..
I think I’d also like to see some major improvements to iWeb… Don’t get me wrong, it already is a great app, and I should say it is THE BEST app for creating a simple homepage. No other app could be easier. but the problem is that iWeb was built with mainly .Mac users in mind. Which shouldn’t be the case, cuz hell lot of ppl don’t use .Mac. So im hoping that iWeb will be more friendly to users who don’t use .mac in the next version..
And im also surprised that no one has yet speculated a spreadsheet program to be added to iWork, which is what im sure they’ll eventually add, because plenty of people use microsoft excel. And I think Apple doesn’t want mac users to always be reliant on microsoft office. And the way to do that would definately be to introduce their own spreadsheet program. I think they’ll want to do so ASAP.. And im guessing that they’ll do that at this upcoming macworld.
There is also the issue of the “iTv”. I’m not really that excited over this product, because I’ve already managed to hook up my macbook to my tv, so i can easily watch movies on my television already, but maybe Apple will introduce some new features or whatever to it before they actually release it. Maybe then will I consider buying it.
I’m also quite excited about Leopard, many of the things that Jobs showed off for Leopard at WWDC ‘06 weren’t really very interesting. (i.e Spaces) But then again, there is still that “top secret” feature that he didn’t want to release last time for fear of microsoft implementing it in Vista. But I think that with Vista launching before macworld, he should reveal what other goodies he has packed inside Leopard, and we certainly will get a glimpse of them at macworld ‘07.
But most importantly, I’m hoping for what many people are calling a “true iPod Video”, because the screen on the current iPod video is really too small, and i think everyone is hoping that that can be changed when Apple introduces some sort of “touchscreen” iPod. Personally, I really have no idea how they’re gonna design a whole new iPod video, because their designs are always so unexpected (i.e. iPod shuffle).. So I guess only time will tell when they actually release a whole new iPod Video, and I’m personally hoping that it’ll be at macworld 2007.
This pretty much ends my wishlist for macworld 2007 for now, but I think that I’ll add to it when i think of any new ideas.
