Apple predictions WWDC 2010

I am going to make predictions on what I think Steve Jobs shall announce tomorrow at WWDC 2010. I can remember last year, or earlier this year, that Leo Laporte on the twit network, (which can be found at twit.tv.) made his apple predictions, as nothing more than a fun exerciese to see what he got right and what he got wrong. So i’m going to do that here! After i’ll score myself, i’ll try and give 10 predictions, ordered in likelyness!

prediction number 1

right up there is the fourth iPhone to leave Apple land finally and make its way into the wild! Prices I would like to think 99 dollars on a US contract but we will see.

prediction number 2

iPhone 4.0 software realeased today for iPhone 3gs, I might be wrong here, or just wanting it early :)

prediction number 3

iPhone 4 has a front facing camera! something I dont see the point in, but from romours i’m estimating it shall have this.

prediction number 4

iPhone 4 shall have 4 times the resolution of the present iPhone and again from the romours i’m guessing this shall be so.

prediction number 5

iPhone 4 shall not be oled, sad but i can see this being true. Just to continue this further yes oled looks AMAZINNG, in the dark, but outside…not so good. where are phones usually used, daytime and often outside…i can see some sort of IPS talk happening, just like the ipad screen.

prediction number 6

enough of iPhone predictions until number 10! Safari 5, recently been thrown into the out back, so it looks like tomorrow we are going on a SAFARI! (beta only of course ;))

prediction number s = 3+4

prediction number s, apple TV! now this one i shall elaborate on with a bit of a story. quite recently jobs, as in steve, was interviewed at the D8 conference. Apple TV was talked about, and Steve said “Apple TV” is a hobby of Apples. He said why, and in this explained that it is hard to get into the set top/TV market due to the fact that many people assume that the box is free with the contract of a subscription, be it sky etc. Today I forsee that Apple might launch a streaming service, if this isnt for video it shall definately be for audio and similar to spotify. Evidence of this is when apple purchased lala and more so a change in the naming of the “me” accounts, suggesting a free/non premium type of account may be added. This all leads to an interesting sum of events, as apple stated its hard to get into the set top box/tv market, make apple TV an app that runs on iphones, ipads and ipod touches, why, because these are already in everyones homes! problem of people expecting a free box now solved because everyone already has these!

prediction number 8

MacBook Air because this is seriously over due now, in not being updated, totally new design, 3g slot…just like ipad…YEA! (3g slot should be added to macbooks too!)

prediction number 9

new iPads, why not, they are selling like hot cakes!

prediction number 10

This is a random one and I see apple maybe teaming up with sprint to take advantage of their 4g network…

next year OS 11 … called pussy cat LOL
