As always Apple keeps tight lips about future plans and this leads to some so called tech journalists making some ridiculously stupid predictions. Apple is not the company to rest on its past laurels, its passionate pursuit of perfection has it obsoleting its own products a year later.
So what's next from Apple?
Well.. They've already established the iPhone as a strong platform, Mac sales are growing faster than the PC industry and the iPod is dominating its market, or as some would call it the iPod market. Other than the usual annual updates, what else?
I don't have crystal ball I can see through nor am I an insider, but I do wish for some products from Apple, and they are:
1. Mac Pro Mini or Mac Mini Pro, a configurable mini tower that is positioned between the Mac Mini and Mac Pro, for those of us who want something more configurable than the iMac.
2. MacBook Pro w/ dual battery bays, kinda like the PowerBook G3, where you could remove the optical drive and add another battery.
3. AppleTV Games, a version of AppleTV with better graphics capabilities, obviously it needs a better name, but this could be Apple's videogame console, based on the AppleTV, runs OS X and uses iTunes as a delivery medium, for games in addition to the extensive music and videos list.
One more bit about AppleTV Games, it doesn't need to go after the so-called hardcore market, the Wii has shown that there is a market for videogames beyond that, and this where Apple can come into play.
Here's an idea

If you're a freetard, but you need to run Windows at work or something,
I've got an idea for a utility that will keep you true to the cause.
Well, a mockup...
