The upcoming GPU chips (even the Intel GMA X3000) will all support H.264 *de*coding acceleration. The chip rumors is about H.264 *encoding*.

As far as multitouch screens I think the iPod is the obvious place to include that feature next but I would love to see it included in a Macbook Pro Tablet form factor as long as it also supports pen input and a decent level of pressure sensitivity (unlike the Modbook).

The MultiTouch screen also makes sense for most Apple products. Might take a Bit of getting used to but will quickly become one of those things you just can't live without... http://www.switchingtomac.com As for the H.264 chips they will probably make their way into anything that can play video from iPods to MacBooks to Apple TV.
