Wired offers up Macworld predictions

My guess is that "There Something in the Air" is not merely referring to new product introductions that are wireless, but also an introduction of Apple's new environmental platform.

Just last May, Jobs published his letter about "A Greener Apple" where he promised to make progress on this front.

Lamest. List. Ever.

- Leopard 10.5.2 will be released with new features
Most likely wrong. Other than minor things like fixing Dock folders, there probably won't be much going on.

- iPhone 1.1.3 firmware released
Woo hoo. A) Easy predicion B) What's the big deal? MAYBE a new feature (like the way an earlier one opened up the iTunes store) but likely not much more, unless they want to enable iChat, MMS, video recording, voice recording, etc.

- No updates to iLife/iWork
Gee, ya think? After releasing iLife 05 in Jan '05 and 06 in Jan 06, Apple released iLife (and iWork) ***08*** in mid-2007. And now Wired is saying there won't be an update now that it's Jan 2008? I'm speechless. And

- New iTunes with movie rentals
Possible, but no credit to them for the "prediction"--it's been in the works for years.

It's like they built the list by googling for "MWSF 2008 predictions" and then copying the first few items from the results page.

For something is in the air: How about new ipods with support for bluetooth headphones? That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the banners.

Do you think there will be an iPod Touch firmware will be released?

In the air there is contamination, they are going to talk about a greener apple, or a new airport

I'd be happy with minor upgrades to the MacBook line, since that's what I'm buying rather soon.

But something bigger would be nice.

"Leopard 10.5.2 will be released with new features"

1. You don't add major features in point releases.
2. Leopard only came out a few months ago, it's far too early for any new OS X features to be announced
3. Preview builds of 10.5.2 were seeded to developers in December, and if there's anything exciting and new in them, it's been kept surprisingly quiet
4. A bug-fix release of OS X is slow news day stuff. It certainly isn't a Macworld-level announcement
5. You REALLY don't add major features in point releases.

Any OS X updates announced at MacWorld will be tied directly to whatever hardware they're releasing: i.e. if the as-yet mythical portable has a multi-touch interface, the OS will be updated to support it only on that sub-notebook.

How about an Apple Home server?
