Well the rumor-mill seem to be convinced that Apple are interested in the Atom processor & chipset, and rumors of a new low powered portable being developed by apple. While thats not impossible i would say that another possible place for Apple to make use of the Atom is certainly the ATV, its a lower powered mass produced processor will make the ATV run cooler and reduce its costs further, especially now that the competition is stepping up.

And the next obvious bumps are a shift to SATA and larger capacities, and who knows.. maybe bluetooth will arrive for that new keyboard device people are dreaming up.

And i guess my dream upgrade application would be the ability (without hacking) to run it as an access point for ethernet cable bound devices ;)

I guess this silly speculation, but i hope its at least reasonably sensible

Why does an Apple TV need a keyboard?! It's Front Row in a standalone box. It's not OS X unless you hack it to be so.

Is there anyone who does not want to hack it ? :p
A Bluetooth keyboard would be very handy for Couchsurfer.
