1. REALISTIC PRICES. I estimate they are 15% dearer in Australia than
US, after allowing for exchange, taxes etc.

2. Quad core iMac. Then I might even ignore the ripoff pricing

that's already there, although not for dictation.

it talks, and has since 1984.

the macbook air isn't thin enough? and the macbook and macbook pro are
1" thick, among the thinnest laptops available.

longer than 4-5 hours?

that's not up to apple.

there's a motion sensor in the laptops, and the macbook air is
available with flash memory instead of a hard drive.

they currently include 802.11a/b/g/n & bluetooth 2.1+edr.

for data over the cell network, that's not for apple to provide since
there are many different carriers worldwide, and apple can't
realisitically offer all of them. just buy a card or tether it to a
phone.

I have that on this Mac. It's called "MacSpeech Dictate." It's new, but
good, and promises to get better.

Ho, hum.

Anyone whose computer "talks" in public ought to be shot.

Ho, hum.

Ho, hum.

Yes. Difficult to achieve.

Yes. That will come.

Ho, hum.

Ho, hum.

I don't know what that means.

Number one for me would be a tablet screen function, a la ModBook.
Invaluable for classroom lecturing, and we have to try to use Windoze
right now. It's a disaster.
