WWDC 2008: What To Expect From Apple?

The tech world is getting nervous as the WWDC 2008 approaches. Everybody is placing a bet on what to expect from Apple.

Steve jobs is going to open the first day (2008/06/09) with a keynote at 10am. Everything tends to be great when Steve decides to open a conference. Usually great launches and new products or, at least, big upgrades to existing ones.

So we, @ tugga tech, decided to place a bet...
Everybody else is doing it... Why don't we? :-)
More betting after the jump.

From our point of view here's a list of what to be expected @ WWDC 2008. Five (5) announcements:


1. 3G iPhone (99,9% sure)

Definitely the only sure bet. 3G is coming to the iPhone. Apple as agreements with almost every mobile network provider in the world now so they have to compete with Europe's 3.5G networks. Jobs wants to overcome the 10mi milestone until the end of the year and people are demanding faster connections in the iPhone. We believe bluetooth is going to be standard and connect to all devices. Also to expect the new 1.2.0 firmware with powerful new software toys. A decent camera with 5.0 MP and video are also a plus. The iPhone 2.0 is going to be slimmer and 32GB.


2. New Macbook aluminum case (50% sure)

Every-other computer from Apple is already aluminum so why not MBs? Also the new multi-touch trackpad is coming to the MB.


3. New Macbook Pro (70% sure)

iMacs have 3.06GHz processors why shouldn't MBPs? Also a new and larger multi-touch trackpad and blue-ray optical drives. Bigger and faster HDs are a plus. 3G connection? Maybe over bluetooth using the iPhone? (yeah right).


4. Macbook Air new speeds and capacity (30% sure)

The New Macbook Air launched last February is expensive and slow. A new 2.2GHz chip is going inside and also new larger and faster HDs. Anyway you can make it slimmer and lighter? Probably not.


5. All iPods going touch (30% sure)

Apple is so kinky about the new multi-touch pads so why not make all iPods touch aware? Maybe the Nano first and new design to iPod classic.
