Here are some more predictions that I have come up with since my last post:
#1: A little more info on the iPhone is that it will have an LED flash on the camera. It should also be shipping with iPhone OS 4 and we will learn more about it with launch date and other things iPhone.
#2: We will also may see a new version of iLife which is Apples movie, music, photo, web, and DVD development suite that comes free with all macs. The last version of this was 09 which many people still don't like but it was still a a great improvement over 08. If we don't see it this year we are bound to see a new version come out in 2011.
#3: Final Cut has gone a good amount of time with out an update. There has also been a number of rumors going around recently about them trying to make final cut more user friendly and easier to learn. I wold love that because right now I am having an extremely hard time learning final cut 5. The only problem they may come across while making it more user friendly is loosing it's power and professional feel and become a lot like iMovie.
#4: We may also see a new look to the macbook air. The macbook air use to be the thinnest laptop on the market but has been beat out by many new windows computers. It may go after the look of the new macbook's with the black trip around the screen. I also hope to see a spec bump to make it run faster and smoother.
#5: With luck we may also see an updater mac mini. Yes this was updated last year but it still needs some work. The only thing that leads me to believe that there is even a chance that we will see a new mac mini is that there have been reports that there has been a shortage of them at apple stores. Hopefully we will see increased speeds and even maybe an HDMI out put to make it easier to go with your TV.
#6: With apple saying that they want to get into the TV business we may hear about a new apple TV. Rumors have it that it will be running the iPhone OS. That would make it able to run apps like facebook, twitter, Pandora, and other apps like that. This would make it a more useful item and I could defiantly see my self getting one. We should also see a price drop in it and maybe an updated hard drive.
#7: Is it time for a new cat to be launched. Apple may be ready to tell the world about 10.7. This would mean new features and the best part a new cat. Apple always names their OS after a type of cat. The big reason to believe this is with the growing number of people that are using it in testing meaning that it is almost ready for the public.
Things that I don't think we will see are any new macbooks other than the air, new imacs, no new ipods, and no new cinima displays.
If the mac mini isn't updated at WWDC there is a chance that it will be done with out any notice during the week and of not then then later this year we will see one.
Those again are just my predictions and we all have our own. So what are yours do you agree with me or do you disagree?

WWDC 2010
Hey guys in this post I will round up my predictions and hopes for this years WWDC event. WWDC goes from Monday June 7th to Friday June 11th. The big keynote where Steve Jobs traditionally comes out and launches new devices and and talks about how the company has been growing is on June 7th. So now lets get onto my predictions.
My first prediction is the iPhone 4G of iPhone HD. Know madder what it is called I will bet a lot of money that it will be introduced on Monday. Some of the new features that may be coming in this device are a higher resolution screen. There have been several new phones coming out all with nicer screens than the iPhone 3GS so with a higher resolution screen it will be able to compete with their screens. We will also most likely see a front facing camera for video chat. This will let you chat with others using video while on the go. It is still unknown if it will be a wifi only thing or if 3G will support it. It may also come with an app called iChat which is Apple's chat service to manage the video chatting. We will also most likely see a new rear camera. This will probably be at least 5 megapixles and maybe even 8. It may have an LED flash and may even be able to shoot HD video footage. The new iPhone may have an increased battery and a thinner design. We can also hope for better wifi and 3G reception out of the device. It will probably be at the $200 price point and the 3GS will take the $100 price point of the 3G iPhone. We should also be seeing a faster phone. Those are my predictions on the iPhone.
My second prediction is that they will talk a lot about how much of a success the iPad was and just talk about it in general. They may also talk about the international launch and other things general about the iPad.
My third prediction is that we will see an updated mac pro. It has been an extremely long time since the mac pro has been updated and it needs it to keep up with it's windows counterparts. We may see 12 cores and some more extreme specs like that. We may also see a new look to it but i personally don't know what they would do to it but what ever they do do to it will come out great. That is the mac pro.
My fourth prediction is with Mobile Me. As of right now for this service you have to pay $99 a month. For that you get email, calender, and contacts all sync in the cloud accessible for a mac, a PC, your iPhone or iPod Touch, and iPad. With Apple's new server farm being opened there is a good chance that this service will soon be free. That would be great and they would be my new email provider. There is also a good chance that there will be a new interface that is sleeker and easier to get around. This all needs to happen so that they can stay competitive with google and all of their web based email, calenders, docs, and contacts. That is what I have to say about Mobile Me.
My fifth and last prediction has to be with company that Apple has acquired lately called lala. This use to be a music streaming website. When Apple bought it earlier this year that site was taken down at the end of March or April. There are two different things that Apple could do with this site. Again because of their new servers they may make an iTunes on line where you can see all your bought songs and then download them and others directly thought the web. They could also make a music streaming website out of it just like Pandora or last.FM. Those are just my two ideas of what they may do with lala.
Those are my predictions on what may happen at WWDC 2010. What are yours? Do you disagree with me? We will all see on Monday June 7th.
