What I have is not so much predictions as an "I hope they've been thinking along the same lines I have" wishlist.
- An HD or better laptop. 17" if you must, but I'd like a 15" or smaller. The iPod Nano has 204 pixels per inch and a beautiful display. A 1920x1200 screen at that density would be 7" diagonal, or at iPhone's 163 ppi it would be 8.8" - there's plenty of room. You could get the 30" display's 2560x1600 into a 13" screen at iPhone ppi.
- Come to that, a 7" diagonal HD iPhone/ iPod Touch would be lovely too. Not just for video, but for reading the web and facing-page PDF's on. Give it Bluetooth keyboard support.
- Obviously, a new Mac Mini. I have a big shiny Sony HD TV and I want a little Mac to drive it (are you getting the HD theme here yet?)
- Separate out the phone crap. I don't like phones, and holding screens to my ear is daft anyway. Make the earpiece separate naturally. Come to that, negotiate me a data plan without a calling plan with your carrier buddies. Amazon did it for Kindle. And for goodness sake ship iChat for the handhelds. Put a camera on the top of the screen like the Macs all have.
- Drop DRM already. For videos too. And HDCP.
- Extend your lovely bluetooth keyboard to have a trackpad too. Make it work with iPhones and the new 7" HD iPod too.
- one more thing - Phil Schiller, stop charging for QuickTime Pro. Admit the mistake you made ten years ago and make video editing natural again.

So you, too, keep smudging your iPhone with your cheek? :) I've been wondering about women, or men for that matter, who wear more makeup than I do. Not practical.
Also FYI I have what amounts to a data plan without a calling plan: Data is included in the O2 PAYG iPhone for the first 12 month, and 10 quid/month after. Phone/SMS is PAYG (with various bonus schemes if you top up by more than £10/month).
