Tablet Music
I think it is long overdue to bundle some goodies with online albums! It was a big loss when music began to go online - minimal album art, liner notes, lyrics, extras, etc. I think it's a great idea to take the album concept to the same level and beyond for online music! When I listen to music on the iPod Touch, I absolutely love to see the cool album cover, and I think additional materials you could leaf through on the Touch would be a kick butt idea! I hope they make it happen.
Speaking of awesome ideas done right, how about the much rumored Mac tablet idea? There have been a lot of patents surfacing about a possible tablet idea. I still remember that right before the iPhone was released, there were a lot of patents surfacing which hinted strongly at what was to come. I feel the same thing is happening now. Instead of a clunky, heavy half baked tablet idea from MS, how about a polished, well implemented Apple version! Think about the Macbook Air with only one side! If anyone can do it right, Apple can. Then watch the Microsofts jump on the bandwagon again!

I think the tablet idea would be a good test market. But I don't know if it would really take off as a major market. It would have to offer something that other computers do not. The iPhone is small enough to put in your pocket. So a tablet computer loses the portability advantage of an iPhone. So it would compete more with a laptop. It is somewhat portable and useful. It would compete with the NetBook computers in the $250 price range. If they price it too high I can see this flopping. Another iCube device, cool but not worth the price. I hope it works.
