WWDC ‘09 Keynote Predictions

Time to play the guessing game again!

iPhone

  • Improved camera, with auto-focus
  • Camera can now record video
  • New phone looks like old phone, without metal band
  • Pricing will expand to a $99 iPhone, with 8GB, 16GB and 32GB models available
  • Faster Processor (1.5x faster)
  • More RAM

Things that I do not expect to be on the iPhone which I would LOVE to see:

  • Front facing camera
  • OLED screen
  • A design that goes with my UNIBODY mac-book a bit more :)

iPhone Firmware 3.0

  • AT&T will announce how much tethering will be… I expect $20 on top of whatever plan you have

Things that I do not expect to be on the 3.0 release but I would LOVE to see:

  • Google Voice support. This wont happen since Google has not pretended to be working on getting it ready for public release.
  • Built-in VoIP SIP support.

Snow Leopard

  • Release date before Windows 7 (August)
  • Preview of new unified design for all software

Other

  • MacBook speed bumps

Things that I do not expect but would be nice to see:

  • AppleTV upgrade to compete a bit more closely with ROKU and other streaming devices (Boxee)

Well thats about it. See you guys on the flip side. I still have the E3 roundup of what I thought personally coming up just been tying up some loose ends around the house.
