Reading the runes for Apple
If they do, that's the death of HD-DVD, and finally this format war will be effectively over. And if anyone can market it to consumers as to why they should care, Apple can. Biggest news will be in the iTunes area, with rentals. About time ... Extra bonus points for it to also be a front end for NetFlix, but I'm not holding out too much hope (but it'd honestly make sense for both sides to do that, and the timing of Netflix's announcements in this space make me wonder if there's more to their story than just the Set top box ... we'll see.) I keep thinking there's one new piece of software coming out nobody knows about yet. iTunes/rentals and new MacBooks and the ultra-portable is a pretty good keynote, but I wonder what the "one more thing" is this year ... I wonder if you'll see Apple-branded solutions that tie into Time Machine - RAID disks? SAN? Network server? How about an Airport update to go with 10.5.2 to restore backups to an airport disc? David Sobotta: I think we will see a laptop update from Apple.
