Not sure if its been mentioned, But I would love to be able to control my iphone with my mac. Send texts through iTunes or something like that. Would be so much more convenient.
I actually never knew this.....But either way, keyboard shortcut for cut and paste would be much easier and quicker. I'm not a big fan of managing files in finder actually.
Future integration of Apps and Widgets plus more
--If it has not been said before then now will be the first, I believe Apple will add multiple "screens" to the dashboard, like the iPhone, and add Apps to the dashboard.--
This is the most obvious, but also the most useful of the expected iOS integration. I would go as far to say that the Dashboard was research project for the iOS and App interface and developer base. Maybe we will also get a new Frontrow setup that will unite the AppleTV, Mac and iPod/iphone media experience. Wireless monitor access would be sweet, since apple has already started making iSight a standard in their monitors, It would be cool if they pioneered this wire free monitor connection technology
What do you all think?
MBP 2.5 Penryn... the last MBP with a trackpad button.

I think you don't know what you're talking about. Dashboard already has "apps" they're called widgets.
As far as I know the widgets available for download are not that same as the App store"apps". Do they have a NES emulating widget? I am aware that they are similar, but would argue that you are the one who doesn't know what their talking about. I am talking about the future of OSx with iOS integration and the use of the dashboard as a research tool. You are debating the fact that a widget is an "application", it is, Duh. my point is that they operate differently and will soon be aligned in the next OSx through the Dashboard.
Gadgets are not widgets and widgets are not Apps. Anyone else agree?
Why would you want full scale applications living in the dashboard when we already have them in the rest of the OS? There's no point. Small single purpose tools belong in the dashboard, the rest can run from the dock.
Applications, Apps, and widgets
ALL I am saying is it is likely that we will see integration of the app store and the dashboard in Lion as well as the utilization of the dashboard environment to introduce iOS features like "Apps"(Widgets +1 and multiple "Home Screens".
You clearly have missed my point if you think I am talking about "full scale applications" living in the dashboard, but don't rule that out yet - there is an iTunes widget after all. I think a lot of apps for the iPhone are in fact "small single purpose tools" so I don't get why your so confused about the difference between Applications, Apps, and widgets.

Are you looking for this for security purposes? If so, it's not nearly secure enough (as a photograph of you could produce the same recognition as you yourself would). If not, I'm not entirely certain what the purpose would be.

A $29 price tag.
so true thats also my only hope and of course the awesome features like the new exposé
I want full screen apps (they said it's coming), apps with quicktime X style, that means no borders etc. which will only appear when you need them (I feel like this will come too ), multiple desktops (I can't really use Spaces, I want to have some apps on all my "spaces" and to be able to carry them around on the spot), improved finder with tabs, cut and ability to show unicode characters, ability to merge pdfs with preview.
And most important to continue what they started with Snow Leopard, meaning optimizations and performance improvements.

While not particularly convenient, you can have selected apps appear in all spaces with a setting in the Spaces Preference Pane.
Preview can merge PDFs. But, again, it isn't obvious.
When Spaces was first announced I had hoped it would be something like IBM's OS/2 introduced in the early 1990's -- real project oriented "desktops". You click on one and it opened to fill the screen with apps and windows all open on the files being used in the project. A fantastic feature I have never seen anywhere else since. I was disappointed to discover it was just a window switcher with no other organizational powers.
An option to switch the dock from 3d to 2d without having to use terminal. I never really liked the 3d dock.
Lol! Fail!
I'm sorry rprebel, but 1000KB==1MB!
Apple is the one that gets it right here, Microsoft still uses the prehistoric binary converter.
A Kilo was always a 1000, and a Mega was always a Million, no matter what units you use, if watt, bytes or Bananas.
1000MB = 1GB
or
1024MB = 1GiB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte
There is huge pressure from many government authorities on Microsoft to stop using the binary interpretation in their file managers and start using the correct calculations, like Apple did with snow leopard.
IM TIRED OF THE GIMMICKS. These are the essentials
Blu-Ray,
HDMI out put,
Super Audio CDplayback,
Full 1080p,
improved proceesers-hard drive-RAM,
Interchangable Desktop pages,
Set priority on Applications in activity monitor/
Better website loading (on ALL my macs I have had problems loading web, this is partly because flash uses so much CPU hence why there not in iPhones).
Better connections to Wi-fi (For some reason my mac loses connection regularly when connected to a Wi-fi wether at home or in a cafe).
APP Uninstall,
THATS WHAT APPLE SHOULD REALLY BE ADDING IM TIRED OF TIRED OF THE GIMMICKS.

If you wanna put it that way, half the stuff talked about in this section is something that Lion will NOT fix.
Virtually everything you list is a hardware, not operating system, concerns, and some might be considered to be hardware gimmicks. Certainly Steve Jobs doesn't think much of Blu-Ray!
The operating system allows an application to lower it's priority, so it is up the the application to do so. Raising one's priority is risky because it could end up locking up the system.
