Predictions for Mac World Tokyo
Now that MWT is just five weeks what do you think we will see there? Apple has jumped in and forecast no new CPUs.
New to the world:
?Qicktime 6 - possible
?OS X 10.1.3 - likely already out by then
?Speed bumps for iBook or TiBook - marginal chance
?Photoshop for OS X - possible
?More carbonized apps?
New to Japan:
?Presentation of iMac for Japan - Japanese keyboard, booting into OS X with Japanese script selected.
?Presentation of the new G4s. First time Steve will present GHz level G4s at any MW.
?iPhoto
?iPod
?OS X - more Japanese fonts?
?Some software presentations similar to what we saw at MWSF and at the OS X presentation at MWSF.
Other ideas?

Possibly 10.2 but I think that will come at MWNY.
Nothing else.
<strong>I don't believe it JD. Apple said that there would be no new hardware at Paris before it was cancled last year, and they didn't have anything ready in any event. This announcement is made to boost sales so that we all have confidence to buy now knowing that there is no point in waiting until Tokyo and then being dissapointed. The 1ghz machine is an Appolo and is a fine machine. I suspect we are going to see some really good benchmarks for this machine.</strong><hr></blockquote>
He was being ironical, dude.

Is ironical a word?
They said Quicktime 6 is ready, the licensing isn't. Hopefully they will have all that worked out soon.
What are the chances of a new digital hub device? Or maybe just a cut in price for the iPod, possibly a larger drive too?
Is the iPod available in Japan already?
"Apple Releases Black Turtleneck Sweater for New Imac, dubbed iNeck 1.0"
Sources close to the company are urging customers to buy now, promising that iNeck 2.0 will not be released until Macworld San Francisco, 2011." Faithful readers of the rumor sites are hotly debating whether the company is secretly planning a revolutionary tactic-- the release of iNeck 2.0 AHEAD of the release of iNeck 1.0.

ROTFLMAO
My predictions:
1) it will be called MacWorld
2) it will be in Tokyo
3) 847 people will post threads bitching about Apple the day after the Keynote
Apple doesn't care much about hardware anymore(speed increases at least). They will focus on software to make the user experience better.
With apple you get great design, ideas, and good execution, unfortunately also subpar performance.
I would hope to see iPhoto 1.x with a few improvements (let's face it, this is a great app, but clearly in its infancy), but I doubt it.

Yes, most computer have a habit of doing that.

<strong>The crystal clear promo ends March 31st</strong><hr></blockquote>
Based on this fact...
I predict...
Wait for it... Here it comes...
A brand new screen promo arriving on or before April 1st! Possibly, even, with a new name! Like, for instance, "The Totally Visionary Promo". Hee, hee, get it?
Bow before me and my prognostication skills!

So funny I forgot to laugh (sorry, just watched Stand By Me last night).
Whats the point? Why not just drop the price instead of just extending this promo?

I was being ironical, dude.
Hopefully they might change the displays a bit (price cuts would be nice).
They will show off the Dual 1GHz PMacs. Show off some new software and all in all we'll be completely underawed by everything that appears
New iPod.
10gig anyone??
