Prediction accuracy measurement...

1. New iPod nano Accuracy: 75%
In 4GB, 8GB, 16GB. Flash drive, aluminium and glass, colours: black, silver, cranberry, baby blue, and light green. Shorter than current nano models. I doubt video it supported.



2. iPod shuffle gets new colour Accuracy: 100%
The iPod Shuffle PRODUCT (RED) edition. In red.
[of course, there are other colours as well]

3. iPod videoAccuracy: 90%
This is the tricky part. Apple could have gone in so many different directions from here...
one is the iPhone form factor, minus the GSM module, bluetooth and camera.
another is the current iPod videos turned on its side. Familiar?
The material of the surface has to change. I'm going for aluminium on the outer rim case [to match the rest of the line-up] and glass on the main display and Apple logo on the rear (like the iMacs)
WiFi for YouTube? Sounds cool... Apple TV has it, iPhone has it, Why not iPod?
Cover Flow is dfinitely in, though...


4. iPod nano is now iPod video? HERATIC! Accuracy: 100%
i invented this rumour! lol.. anyway, why not make the current nano and video become one product - The NEW iPod [6th gen]?


5. Beatles on iTunes Accuracy: 1% [there are songs by the Beatles on iTunes, but that doesn't count... and it's only 3 tracks]
The last conference the Beatles had... the first 4 letters of the band's name... the invitations Apple sent...
"The BEAT goes on..."
Get it?
BEAT! BEATLES! iTunes!


6. One more Thing... Ringtones accuracy: 100%
iPhone gets ringtones. dunno how, but it's getting ringtones.


7. One last thing... Slap you, iPhone owners! accuracy:40% [Current iPhone owners did get slapped with a price drop, and a slap of a $100 Apple voucher from Steve Jobs]
Yep, slap you b*t*hes, coz iPhone 2nd Gen is out... and it has HSDPA! and it's shipping in early '08...


8. Lucky number 8... iTunes 8 available for download accuracy: 0%
iTunes 8 gets new feature: support for AVCHD? iMovie 08? Import YouTube bookmarks? not youtube site addresses, but the embed video's link, somehow... i'm confusing myself


9. 4 Billion songs sold! now suck in iTunes' awesomeness, Singapore! accuracy: 0% still at 3m+, but nearing 4m...
Apparently, last years rumours point to iTunes Store in Singapore this year... Ready?


10. iPod Backup accuracy: 10% the iTunes Wi-Fi Store save-to-my-computer feature is considered quite similar to my prediction...
ITunes can back up your iPod music. In an unreadeable format? maybe... In a way that empties the iPod, but gets the songs on your computer? maybe...


on average, ACCURACY= 51.6%

not bad... I passed...
