Macworld 2008 Predictions

OK, here goes... better put it to paper before it ALL happens.

6" iPhone OS based tablet.
3G, multitouch, camera on the front. Called the newton (maybe), costing £599 inc VAT available summer 08. Docking station with USB (or bluetooth) for keyboard and mouse, screen sits landscape in the dock.

Blueray in iMac 24"
Blueray has won... i think it might just get a spot in the top end consumer devices shipping from April.

3G iPhone
A sure bet. Shipping late august early september.

Apple TV
A much stronger second generation of the crappy white box. Bluetooth from iPhone control. Other features improved including...

Movie Rentals
USA only to start with at $2.49 per movie. Once you start playing them, they'll DRM themselves dead within 72hours.

No Mac Mini Update
Who would buy one when iMacs and MacBooks are so cheap.

iPhone 1.1.3
Software update to add:
      
       MMS
       Basic Video
       DEVELOPERS KIT!
       PhotoBooth Application
       iChat... probably not
       Multiple text recipients

Pink Classics
The old skool iPods will be available in the colours.

Right... let you know tomorrow how exactly right I am.
