MacWorld 2007 Predictions

Well as usual I've left it to the last minute, but I want this on the record in case I'm right. If I'm wrong I'll just delete this post...

I'm going to predict a quad core Mac Pro as my safe bet. I think it's a given and it'll also piss me off since I ordered a dual core Mac Pro the day they were announced. They get extra piss off points if they add a better video card and FrontRow support.

Next, I'll predict the "true" video iPod with a stylus, a la the Nintendo DS. If you don't want to smudge up your screen, a stylus that just pops in and out of the side of the iPod's case makes sense to me.

Here's my total guess: a dedicated RSS reader as part of iLife 07. I read somewhere that 2007 is the year of RSS, so let's see if Apple agrees.

I also think the iTV will be released, and Leopard's new features will be demoed in full.
