not necessarily a prediction, but i wish Steve Jobs would announce an Apple Office Suite that would eventually replace the MS Office applications.

Having Apple come out with an Apple Office that eases out MS Office might be counterproductive to getting more Windows users to switch. The first thing potential switchers ask before making the switch is whether MS Office is available for Mac, and if the files are interchangeable with the Windows version. Just sharing an insight I've gotten from a dozen or PC users I've switched to the Mac.

well, not if the developers can help it. introducing an Apple Office suite that is compatible with the current MS applications is VERY possible. this is already evident in Keynote 2. one can actually open powerpoint presentations using Apple's presentation software. and a Keynote presentation can actually be converted to a powerpoint compatible file.

A Two-Button Apple Mouse

In other news, Hell has not frozen over yet, but it very well may.

According to sources who have so far filed accurate reports on Apple's future hardware plans, the company is feverishly working on a two-button wireless optical mouse that it intends to release.

Apple enthusiasts have longed for an Apple-branded two-button mouse for over a decade, but their requests have gone unanswered. So what has changed? According to sources, 'it's the company."

With Apple now profiting from low-priced consumer electronics as it makes a push to reclaim market share from Windows, a two-button mouse is 'almost an essential,' sources said.

It's unclear when the computer maker plans to introduce the mouse. Insiders warned that anticipation may continue to build for months as the company perfects the product.

Apple has just recently reduced the price of its wired mouse to $29 and its wireless optical mouse to $59. The two-button wireless optical mouse would likely debut at the $69 price point once reserved for the company's current wireless mouse.

"Jaws will drop," said one insider.

Could it be a CDR-king OEM mouse ? hehe :laugh:

i'm going for the Blue Ray tech figuring in Mac's system... almost 100% sure with recent Apple corporate moves...
but my wish is an Ipod with mobile phone capabilities..

two-button mouse?... yeah, why not?.. but is this worth the fanfare?... not a big bang but just a mouse squeak to me...
