Macworld SF 2007 scorecard
Here's how I scored this year with my educated guesses:
100% right:
- No DVR or TV-recording capability
Some people still think the Apple TV might gain that capability. Um, it has zero A/V inputs, so that would be impossible (unless they partnered with Elgato or Miglia and used the Apple TV's single USB port) - Movies from additional studios added to the iTunes Store
But is anyone really going to buy Star Trek V? Seriously? - Apple TV shown in use but not immediately available
Watch for those orders to start shipping on Feb. 26. - Apple Mobile product, which will be much more than a cell phone and more expensive than most people consider
I was pretty much right on all counts with this prediction, but played it safe by not predicting what exactly it would do.
- No new iPods
The iPhone isn't on the iPod area of Apple's web site, but it was called a widescreen video iPod - Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will be previewed, but no shipping date will be announced
No shipping date was announced (it's still just Spring 2007) but the previews being shown in Apple's booth show no new features than what was already shown in August 2006
- iLife '07, which will update all of the apps except iTunes
And I thought this was the safest prediction I made, considering how much work iWeb and GarageBand need - iWork '07, which will see the addition of a spreadsheet application but remain at the same price
I figured I'd at least be 50% right about this one
