New iLife, iPhone OS 4.0, and tablet next week?

I compiled a list of 15 enhancements I'd love to see in Apple iPhone OS 4.0. I don't expect to see most of them but it would be nice to get some....

What would you like to see in addition to these?

Additionally, if they DO release OS 4.0 and a Tablet, it would make perfect sense timing-wise. Those of us going to WWDC '10 will be treated to new development tracks regarding the Tablet and the new OS.

So, at the very least, I would say that OS 4.0 will be released. Possibly with background apps and less application restrictions (ie. the ability to read the call log, etc.) Maybe even a less brain-dead iPhone home screen?

I would assume that if they're going to announce the Slate, or anything similar, there will be market research numbers on a chart before this happens. If there IS such a slide that's shown, it will most likely be an announcement of the Slate.

If not, I would say don't hold your breath.

However, I agree. It's been a while since the Mac Pro got a refresh. Also, it's been a while since other product lines have been refreshed.

What would be nice is the following:

- iPhone OS 4.0 (Direct camera access, please??)
- iPhone New Carrier announcements
- New iLife '10 (the graphic in the invite would indicate this)
- New (possibly unlikely?) Tablet.

If they DO announce a new Tablet, it explains why the latest SDK updates have gone silent. Apple doesn't want people reverse-engineering their OSes to find device support keywords, like they do with every release.

What happens if the "slate" is nothing more than a 10" touch display that the iPhone/Touch docks into... would anyone be disappointed?

@Franz... I'd love to see apps make it to the AppleTV.

With iLife 10 comes iTunes 10 - Thats why there are nano colors :)

Just about all consumer Apps need a refresh, parts of iLife and iWork still run as 32-bit in Snow Leopard. iWork is still a long way off from Office in term of fully featured. iWeb still isn't quite there when compared to Rapidweaver. The other iApps can do with a polish.

Certain Prosumer Apps need some TLC too, but since they are not offered *exclusively* as a suite, they can be upgraded peice-meal. I doubt we will see an Aperture 3 released at one of these special events.

My guess is iLife, iWork (with better graphic editing support), and mobile versions of iWork. A bit of Rah-Rah and Statistics about the iPhone and App store, then a One More Thing introducing either a big-screen iPhone or a 7" Tablet, not both. A quiet update to the SDK, to remind developers about resolution independence.

At a Special Event in April or May, Apple will announce a 10" Pro Tablet, as well as the new SDK.

How about Aperture 3? I'd rather have that then a new iLife.

There seems to be more an interest in to the iPhone and iSlate than a Mac Pro!

I Think they go by statistics to what they blog about mate.

I'm still praying that we get an AppleTV hardware update with 1080p and third party apps. I want Pandora and Slacker apps (infact all the functionality that I get with a Squeezebox. I want Hulu and other 3rd party streaming video without that clunky Boxee interface or hacking. Frankly, the iTablet holds no interest for me. But I want an AppleTV that is actually useful and treated as more than a hobby. Maybe that's part of the iLife '10 is good connectivity with AppleTV and 1080p content. A boy can hope...
