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.
