It's the new year boys and girls, which mea (amongst other things) that Macworld will soon be upon us. As such, it is only fitting that we dust off TUAW's crystal ball to envision what we think will be unveiled both on and off stage. Now we don't have any i ider information - this is all simply logical deduction rinkled with some wishful thinking, so don't bet the bank on any of this. That said, we present you TUAW's predictio for Macworld 07, in order of blogger's last name:Victor Agreda Jr.
- Google integration (iTV + YouTube)
- API's for iTV (for El Gato, in particular). Maybe that's a wish; I really, truly doubt A le and El Gato will play in the same sandbox
- HD content on iTunes ('07 is the true year of HD)
- A gold nano - for Steve, as he a ounces retiring in 2008
- Some sort of readsheet addition to iWork 07
- .Mac will "somehow get better"
David Chartier
- I agree with everyone else: iLife and iWork 07 are a sure thing
- No A le iPhone - mostly because, if true, it could po ibly go down in history as one of the most hyped yet never a ounced fanaticware products of all time
- I've been hoping for a video update to the AirPort Expre , but it seems like the iTV more or le kills that idea; I predict it shi at Macworld
- On Leopard: I again agree with everyone else on a ship date being a ounced
Laurie A. Duncan
- The Mac mini will get a Core 2 Duo upgrade - although not nece arily acro the line. I wouldn't put it past them to keep the sub-$600 model a single Core Duo
- A major iTunes-related content a ouncement
- Hopefully a new stand-alone iSight camera because as much as I dig the convenience of having one built in to my iMac and MacBook, it's not terribly convenient for sca ing my many shelves of books into Delicious Library, for i tance (I still have my old FW iSight for such occa io , but a shiny new one would be nice)
- I am fairly certain we'll get to hear what the "iTV" will actually be called, along with a ship date and I'm pretty sure we'll hear a Leopard ship date
- I'm not seeing an iPhone(y) (aka iVox in the pretend world where I am in charge of such things) in my crystal ball, although I su ect there will be a number of jokes about it
Mat Lu
- Leopard released earlier than expected
- iTV finalized
- revised iPods
- no iPhone
- CS3 released earlier than expected
Dan Lurie
- Release date and complete feature set for Leopard
- iLife/Work '07
- iTV release date and complete feature set.
- iPhone (You have no idea how much I want this one to be right)
Scott McNulty
- iLife and iWork 07
- Refreshed Cinema Di lays
- Leopard ship date a ounced
Michael Rose
- Likewise on Leopard release date
- Minimum of three additional studios for iTunes movie store
- "iTV" official a ouncement, integration with Elgato products for capture
- Major digital a et management product a ouncement for pro video ace, stemming from Proximity acquisition
- One more thing: 8-core Mac Pro
- One MORE more thing: iPod Phone - multi-service chat presence included
Erica Sadun
- iLife and iWork 07
- iTV shi
- Leopard ship date
- iPhone a ouncement
- iDogCow - because every good prediction should have an a olutely wrong item in it. Viva Clarus. Moof!
