------------------
Ok, here goes my predictions...

1. Sony will look really cool in 2007.
2. Blu-ray + HD-DVD multi-burners and readers will appear.
3. New MacBook Pro with Blu-ray.
4. Bit Torrent will be a way of LEGAL distribution.
5. the rumoured Apple iPhone will be called iChat Mobile.
6. OS X Leopard, a 13.3" MacBook Pro (metallic), a Mac Mini with independent GPU, a Widescreen iPod, iChat Mobile, iTV and an iSight will ALL be released on MacWorld.
7. When i mentioned iSight, i mean an Apple Digital Camera with a memory card and stuff. (Apple no longer sells iSight cameras, so reuse the name!)
8. The iPod lineup will be all flash-based by the holiday season.
9. Microsoft will sue Apple. Apple will sue Adobe. Adobe will sue Microsoft. Why? beats me, but it IS a prediction!
10. Wireless-N devices will start appearing, but adoption rate will be slow.
11. SED TVs will really appear in 2007, during the holiday season.
12. Google will work with Linux. on what? I don't know.
13. Google will reopen "Google Ask" service, but in a different form, name, and function.
14. XBOX 360 - New model with HD-DVD, larger HDD, HDMI.
15. PS3 - New Unit by 2008. Slimmer design, more cores / less heat (it's one or d other), more RAM, dual HDMI (as in earlier rumours), more HDD space, lighter weight. and SMALLER box.
16. CD and DVD sales will rise. iTunes sales will rise. everything else will fall.
17. AMD will overtake Intel with a new processor.
18. PSP2?
19. Nobody remembers the Origami PC by Microsoft.
20. Windows Vista will only be something people upgrade to because their current systems are slow.
21. Terabyte Hard disk drives by July.
22. Steve Jobs will announce his retirement date... and it will be after Bill Gates retire.
23. Wi-Bri will fade. Wireless-USB will be a successor to the Bluetooth.
24. Google will face competition... and trample them all!!!
25. There will be 5 hosts on the BOL podcast next year.

More than enough, right?
