Well, it's been a while since anyone made a post here, and I'm trying to get another writer (LegoShark) added, but I'm having issues with Blogger. Anyway, here's a list of predictions for announcements to be made at WWDC which is coming up (June 9-13).
1.) 3G iPhone - This one's pretty obvious. People have been speculating about it for a long time, and photos have even been leaked. The new 3G iPhone will likely have a built in GPS, have a plastic back in black or white color choices (possibly red too), and prices may drop even more, so the low end 8GB model would be around $200 rather than $400. If the iPhone is updated, I also think there would be an iPod Touch update.
2.) Mac Mini Refresh - It needs to be done. The current generation Mac Mini has outlived it's product cycle. My guess is that it will receive speed enhancements, and maybe an upgrade to the Penryn processors used in the new iMacs.
3.) Mac OS 10.6 - Leopard has been out for almost a year, and I'm expecting Steve Jobs will make the first announcement of it at WWDC. I'll have more about OS 10.6 in another post.
4.) Apple Cinema Displays - I've heard rumors of these including an iSight. As cool as that would be, I don't really expect that to happen. They will probably get a higher resolution or more sizes introduced. I don't really know what to expect for this product.
5.) Multi-Touch Tablet - There have been rumors of Apple releasing a tablet device since 1996 according to my dad. With the technology they've got in the iPod Touch and iPod, they could probably pull it off. Also it looks like Microsoft is going to make Windows 7 a multi-touch platform, so this is the perfect time for Apple to strike.
6.) .Mac Update - There's been speculation of the .mac service being renamed and revamped. The new name will likely be "Mobile Me". As for features to be added, I don't know what Apple will do.
