"Let's Rock" Report Card...

1. Steve Jobs will appear with his usual black turtle-neck and Levi's.[Levi's and MAROON turtleneck. darn it!]
2. Steve will share some stats about iPod sales [and very briefly, iPhone sales.]
3. Steve will talk about iPod nano, and unleash a redesigned iPod nano
4. Steve will talk about iPod classic, and then announce that there'll be new models which use SSD. [this has not been circulated in the rumor mill yet, so you heard this here first!] [120GB-only HDD model, same design as 80GB model]
5. Steve will announce a redesigned iPod touch: thinner, more tapered edge.
6. Steve will poke fun at Redmond. [Quote: "Nice job, Microsoft", referring to Zune.]
7. Steve will release new shuffles. I'm going out on a limb by saying the shuffle will have tapered edges like the MacBook Air and iPhone 3G. In fact, this is true for all the other iPods released at this event. [nano and touch only. that's 50% of ipod line-up, and half of the prediction correct. so, that's 0.25 points!]
8. iTunes 8. 'Genius', HD, NBC returns, Russia and Singapore gets store along with many other. [haha. loophole. I didn't say 'music store'.]
9. Apple TV price drop. [nope]
10. NO MAC UPDATES. That's probably in January 2009. New design of MacBook, MacBook Pros, iMacs. Juiced-up Nehalem processors on all the Macs, DDR3 for Mac Pro, new GPUs for all Macs [Intel GMA X4500 HD for Mac Mini, X4500MHD for MacBook, ATI HD3450 / 3850 or Nvidia Geforce GTX260 for MacBook Pro and iMac], Blu-Ray option for Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and highest-end iMac, LED for all screens + Cinema Display.

Score for simple guesses: 6.75/10

my guesstimates are so bad, I'm not going to compare the prices I estimated...

So, yeah. 6.75/10. Not too shabby...

UPDATE: It was a black turtleneck. So +0.5, My score will be 7.25/10! A2!!!
