The airport express is ace but could do so much more. Playing directly to from the ipod for example would be a very exciting feature. Being able to plug other USB features would also be fantastic, such as a USB hub or harddrive. Also bring on the iTV. I really want to see apple go futher with Airport.

I think it has to do something with iChat. A portable iChat machine, with video communication (iChat gets an video answering machine in Leopard right?) Probably some wifi connection, or maybe somekind of network of their own (probably not). It wil not run on the AIM network but on Jabber or something I think the phone idea is a bit off.

I'm hoping for a 24-26" Cinema Display with HDCP-DVI, HDMI and HDCP-Component, PIP and of course a built-in iSight for no more than $1000. It's also very possible they may drop a 42-inch display for the iTV to connect to. I predict that sometime in 2007, Apple will introduce a combination monitor/HDTV monitor (no ATSC tuner).
