From earlier in the week, I looked deep in my crystal ball and make the following MacWorld Predictions:

So to wrap up, here are my predictions in a concise format:

• Several New iPhone Apps
• Major iPhone OS Update
• New Apple TV
• New Apple HDTV Cinema Display for Home Theater
• New Wireless capabilities in the portables (and possible desktops)
• Portables will get Speed Bump / Price Drop
• iMacs will get Speed Bump / Price Drop

So I was pretty close. I think that it is a matter of time before the Apple TV has a display companion–my prediction is on or before the next MacWorld (SF).

The Mac Book Air is pretty interesting, probably will be my next notebook. I wouldn”t miss having an optical drive for reading, but I do write a fair bit of CD’s/DVD’s on the go (for work).

The new Time Capsule is also pretty interesting. It is a no-brainer backup solution for multi-Mac environments. It would be awesome if someone came up with a way to also backup Windows PCs using a time-machine like system to the Time Capsule. There has to be a better way to back up Windows machines.

Disappointingly, it looks like the iMacs did not get a price drop, so I’ll be looking at buying a refurb if they are a good enough deal.
