Facetime for mac is a cool concept and it will make factime more useful...but I wish they had integrated it into iChat instead of starting a whole new program.
OS X Lion looks pretty cool as well, I just hope their love for all things iPhone doesn't limit the functionality. For example, full screen apps seem gimicky as hell. There's a reason for a windowed OS.
I'm not a fan of apple's corporate philosophy. I'm not so ignorant as to think other companies are generally better, but apple seems to think that they have a "better" corporate philosophy and it gets on my nerves. I'm expressing it poorly, but I think apple has a higher opinion of itself than is merited, a bit of a holier than thou attitude, and it bugs me a lot.
I probably would buy one of their laptops though.
