    I’m just basically looking forward to whatever I can afford. If it’s in my price range, I’ll get it.

    I am looking forward to the FM traffic channel for my GPS to startup in Adelaide this year. So it can reroute me around stupid accidents when it rains.

    Windows 7 does look to be a massive improvement on Vista, and I am sure my Media Center will love it, but really who can deny the pants-wetting anticipation brought about by a new Apple product?! Bring on Macworld!

    Wouldn’t mind seeing some attractive android phones, maybe a few large capacity pmp’s from iriver and the zune made available here in Oz! It is getting increasingly difficult to find anything but an ipod in stores.
    I will probably change my wishlist for 2009 after CES and MacWorld kick off this year

    I want an N97… So that’s on the agenda.
    But most looked forward to? I have no idea. I’d really like someone to surprise the crap out of me with a cheap, powerful multitouch tablet computer that also has super battery life ;)

    The rumored giant ipod touch would be nice, if it had *real* ports and proper OSX because I want such a device for making some music, not just playing it.

    But I suppose the usual saga goes cheap, powerful, good battery – pick two, lol.

    I also wouldn’t mind some netbooks with decent screens. I think while it’s not as potentially exciting as more novel technological areas, it’s certainly a market that will mature a lot this year.

    The Android. Moving from XP to Ubuntu. No internet filters in Australia.

    Palm’s new, upcoming operating system (codenamed “Palm Nova”), and the accompanying device!

    The second it’s available in Australia, I’ll be (gladly) ditching my aging Palm Centro in favour of the new device/operating system…
