There is something I just don't understand. Why do we need more memory on these items.

My iTouch with 8Gb has my fully address book, my full calendar, 24 hours equivalent of music (10% of my iTunes) and a small movie. It still have plenty of space (3gb) to go.

Surely we would want more facilities to transfer information to some sort of "home base" rather than hoarding it into a small device.

I bet they will increase the Memory since they have to increase it for the new light mac laptop, and the Pod touch has 16 GB already.

"2) iTunes selling movies worldwide, signed agreement with X, Y, Z, AppleTV reworked, new screens, AppleTV interactive games with Bluetooth game pad"

...? AppleTV reworked, new screens. AppleTV uses your TV set as the screen. Do you imply they'd create their own TV? Could be interesting, but I don't think they're into that much. One could probably use an Apple Cinema Display somehow for AppleTV, but I'm not sure it'd make much sense. It's cheaper to use a "simple" TV. (I've put simple in quotes because a TV does more than a computer display.)

AppleTV needs to go High Def out along with High Def in the iTunes Music/TV/Movies stores. This is what is stopping a lot of people from getting it.

Yes, but... what about the image of a High-Res Apple screen ? Think about the million of Apple fans who bought an iPhone. I am quite convinced that at least 50% of these would buy an Apple TV screen the day it comes on the market.

But I agree, any FullHD screen would do the job.
