1. Windows 7. Don't mock. The desktop runs XP, has done so for about two years, and it's about time for a fresh install. But with 7 coming out in a few months, I don't want to do that. Hurry up and come out already. 2. A new iPod Touch. I dropped mine on the floor, and the screen started going wonky. I've got two black horizontal lines across the screen, and you can see the LCD material bleeding into adjacent cells. The interface on the iPhone and the Touch is so superior to this creaking UI on the hard-drive based players that there is no way I want to buy another one of them, but the current Touch is only 32 gigs, not big enough to hold all my stuff. Despite that the iPhone is also only 32 gigs, I'm very tempted to buy one for two reasons: It's $100 less than the 32-gig Touch, and it comes with what's apparently a pretty damned decent phone camera. My hope is that the next round of iPod announcements will foretell a 64 gig model with the camera, in which case I'd buy it instantly. Hurry up and come out, already. 3. Diablo III 4. The PacificIt's Band of Brothers II. It's still produced by Spielberg and Hanks, so I expect the same utterly top-notch quality, but instead of following the 101st Airborne Division in Europe, it follows the 1st Marine Division. That's Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Okinawa, New Guinea. This is going to be absolutely amazing.
