These two might be useful for security - but I'd rather have a
fingerprint detector on the keyboards - standard. Integrated with
keychain. Our current password system needs to be replaced by
something better, and this could be a first step.

These are for portable computers - and I don't have a portable
computer. Without having such experience, I would like to see
easier integration to allow a portable computer to synchronize with
the desktop.

My other features I'd like to see are:
1. A better Mighty Mouse.
2. A keyboard that works better for long-time touch typers such as
myself. With feel. Part of my problem here is that I need to put
on my reading glasses to read the function keys on my aluminum
keyboard (Count out to F6), but I just make too many mistakes on it
that I don't on old-fashioned keyboards.
3. The option to use display fonts (Windows style), instead of print
fonts on the display. My fogey eyes get more tired on my Mac.
4. The ability to resize Remote Desktop.
5. Various software that I wish for (not really Apple's job, but
they can make porting easier).
6. Make it easier to pick a remote camera instead of the built in
iSight camera for all applications.
7. Make user friendly software to tell people what safety features
or convenience features they need in setting up router settings and
wireless settings for appropriate security everywhere but easy
connecting away from home.

My #1 wish is for better user control with audio input/output and
multiple user accounts.

Example 1: Log into user account A. Record some live audio (through
built-in input, USB, etc). Switch to account B for a half hour. Switch
back to account A. Stop recording. Play back recording. Notice that
there is a half hour if silence in the recording, that corresponds to
the time that user account B was in the foreround. I lost a 2-hour
radio program recording that way.

Example 2: In Panther, audio playing in one user account would still
play when switching to another. This was useful to hear incoming Skype
calls in one account while being logged in to another. Since Tiger,
Apple mutes all audio coming from accounts not in the foreground,
meaning missed Skype calls.

I can understand how audio playing through would irritate many users,
but I see no reason why this cannot be a user settable preference.

11. A single-plug "mini-dock" connector for all the connections or
peripherals on a laptop: power, external monitor, USB, FireWire.

Maybe a 3" to 4" long rectangular "stick" with all the standard plugs
spaced one side that runs along one side of the laptop, can be plugged
in with one motion, and has a single cable to a larger junction box (aka
multi-function hub) that has multiple jacks.

But primary objective is to be able to unplug just *one* single
connection, and you can pick up your laptop and go.

12. A cigarette-pack-size, laptop-powered mini-projector that projects
a two-foot sized daylight-viewable image on a wall or mini-screen, for
use in small-group situations.

[These _are_ on the way . . . ]

I would like to see a laptop type (light and portable) but without a
battery, making it even lighter and cheaper. Like a very portable
desktop you could take around with you but would need to plug in.

I would buy it.

That's called 'iMac' with screen, and 'Mac mini' without.

Go for it.
