I would like to see a more YouTube like model. Post and then pull the App down if it infringes one of the terms. Let me pay $1000+ per year to get premium support. Also, have "verified" Apps. 2) I think the transition to OS 11 happens when MobileMe is ready for primetime and is fully integrated everywhere. 3) I think AppleTV goes away and the iMac for the living room appears. I'm especially convinced since the launch of the new 27" iMac. 4) iTunes needs a rewrite. It's moving away from it's Carbon roots and using WebKit. We'll probably see a iTunes X (similar to Quicktime Player X) when it integrates seamlessly with MobileMe. 5) I don't know enough about tablets. 6) Yes, please. iDisk is severely lagging compared to DropBox. 7) MobileMe is getting better. Very slowly. iWork.com needs a few more iterations. They are using and contributing to SproutCore. And surprisingly, with Webkit, they are arguably more innovative that Mozilla or Opera with respect to CSS/Javascript/HTML5. 8) I don't know enough about Marble. 1) They need to tighten up the API, especially Address Book, before that can happen.
