Journal Oculus Habent's Journal: Apple: Predictions

Yeah, I'm one of those. :P

So, my money is on media.

They pre-announced the iTV, to help push movies with the promise of viewing them on your TV. Also, everything but the Mac Pro comes with built-in draft-n chipsets these days.

I think they'll release the iTV -- whatever it ends up being called -- along with an update that enables the draft-n capabilities in existing systems, more studios in the online movie sales, and possibly the "One True Video iPod®"

Then the iPhone, Mac Phone, Apple Phone, Mac Talk, Steve's Super Duper Communicator Plus 5000... whatever. I'd like to see a hard drive model, but people keep talking about Nano equivalency. It's supposed to run a slimmed down Mac OS X, so I'm expecting 802.11 & Bluetooth as well as GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and the ability to download songs from the iTunes Music Store. I also suspect that Sherlock will be a big part of the phone's software services.

I think we might see vidcast software, much like the podcast additions to Garageband, which will go nicely with the built-in iSight cameras and iChat's "greenscreen" abilities.

We'll see.
