Predictions for Apple Announcements September 5th

"Sorry, we only have the white model... and we only have 2 left..."-- Epicentre@suntec staff...

This, my friend, is a harbinger.
I realised it's the last day of COMEX...

but if this is occuring in San Fran, US...
and people are reporting that Apple has decelerated manufacturing of iPods..

Am I not right that this is a stock clearance for things to come?
Here's what I'm predicting... Could be wrong, but heck, predictions are predictions...


1. New iPod nano
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
The iPod Shuffle PRODUCT (RED) edition. In red.


3. iPod video
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!
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
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
iPhone gets ringtones. dunno how, but it's getting ringtones.


7. One last thing... Slap you, iPhone owners!
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
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 mysel


9. 4 Billion songs sold! now suck in iTunes' awesomeness, Singapore!
Apparently, last years rumours point to iTunes Store in Singapore this year... Ready?


10. iPod Backup
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...


here's my insight!
