I'm going to pile on to the rumors and predictions (like every other blogger) for the upcoming Macworld Conference & Expo happening January 14-18. Here are my predictions guaranteed to go wrong.
- Apple will NOT release a sub-compact notebook or tablet. I consider a sub-compact notebook to be one smaller than 11", maybe even 10" (has to be small to be considered a sub-compact, especially after playing with Asus' eeePC, which is really cool if you haven't seen one yet).
- They WILL release updated 13" Macbooks with aluminum shells in silver and black just like the iPod Classics. These will pretty similar to the current Macbooks, but might have SSDs and probably will have external optical drives. I think they will have the same white keys on the keyboard just like the current Apple keyboards that come with the iMacs and Mac Pros. They will probably have LED back lit screens too. These will replace the current Macbook lineup.
- iPhone will get updates with an SDK and 16GB of storage along with other fixes that should have been there in the first place that Apple will sell as new miracles (ehem, cut and paste).
- iTunes movie rentals, which at this point isn't even really a prediction.
- I'll say that they won't update the Apple monitors at all. They've needed updates/refreshes for a couple years now and they are still the exact same. Why now?
- Some kind of big deal with Google. I'm not sure what this is going to be, but I'm thinking they do something with Google soon involving data storage/delivery.
- Some other little updates/speed bumps to the current lineup of products. Maybe some kind of revision to Apple TV to make the thing somewhat relevant.
