I'd like to see an updated mac mini and cinema screen, but can't see it happening as the cinema screens and Mac Mini are both showing 24 hour shipping times and if they changed either of these they would be running the stock down.
I agree.

My hope (for release ASAP if not today) is a new Airport Express with 802.11n - just like everybody else.

<sigh> G5 powerbook (Don't we wish?)

A 16GB iPod nano would get me off my bottom to replace my aging, battered, tired 4GB mini. Really, what I would like is the big iPod Classic, because I could actually fit my entire music library on that one, but I can't justify that sort of money for a "walkman".

I've heard the delay on the G5 Powerbook is Steve Jobs is trying to do a special deal with a kitchenware company to provide a free Apple branded oven glove and mat to all purchasers.

You want to look out mate, someone might accuse you of having a sense of humour.

Just got an e-mail from Apple promo-ing 'Aperture 2'. That might be the only treat this week?

Also putting my vote in for speed bumped iMacs (using the glut of Alu models on the refurb store as my evidence).

Personally, I'm putting my money on the following:
either;
-Airport Express
-New Mouse
-SDK (early release)
-Something NEW AND AWESOME

Yeah I agree with you on this one happening soon and the 16gb touch moving to the old 8gb touch price and the 32gb dropping to the old 16gb price.

I will buy,

Mighty mouse with touch pad that replaces the ball.

A wired touchpad to give multitouch to my iMac - or option to use my iPod touch for same.

A sleek dock for my touch that rotates to landscape with full dock/audio out connection.

An Apple BT watch (with GPS?) that does caller ID for any phone, syncs contacts and calender events

iPhone if it isn't on a stupidly expensive plan

Any new touch Apps.

An Apple safari pad

pardon my ignorance but what's all this talk about people wanting powerbook g5's? what's the difference between that and a (next-gen) macbook pro? i thought the powerpc models died when intel was introduced?

also what's with getting hyped over a new nano colour... seriously... unless its 16GB + WHO CARES
