5 Predictions for Apple in 2007

Michael writes "2006 is coming to a close, and all anyone can think about (in regards to Apple, at least) is the upcoming Apple phone, but what happens next? What are we going to be salivating over and speculating about after Macworld? What changes are in store for Apple in 2007? No one knows for sure, but it sure is fun to take a guess."

My prediction...

[Lord Kano]

Apple will remain a top subject of internet speculation.

Jail

[sycodon]

Apparently, someone will be going to Jail and Steve Jobs will be losing a boat load of money.

#1

[Konster]

#1 Steve Jobs will move in next to Jeffrey Skilling.

a couple things I predict

[ILuvRamen]

I think these are the most likely to happen:
Finalcut Pro will come out with a Windows version and Apple will lose a ton of the market share until...
Apple makes themselves compatible with AMD processors too and increases their market share until...
China demands repayment for all the invested/borrowed money we owe them and we try to pay it off by sueing thousands of Chinese companies for making inadaquite, bad quality products and they start world war 3 over it and we all nuke each other and have to live in caves and the Apple market share dips a little until they put in solar panels outside the caves for power so ppl can run their Macs again :P
I'll give 10:1 if that doesn't all happen! Any takers?

"Can someone please explain..."

"Can someone please explain to me what the market is for portable video players with builtin viewing screens, in general?"

Glad to... you can't see video on a portable video player without a viewing screen. Hence the desire for a viewing screen.

Hope that helps you out, there.

What about:

6. Apple will reveal it has been recording phone calls made on the iPhone and that they're available for sale on iTunes for 99 cents.

Expanding on the Mac brand

That's just silly ! It wouldn't be a top 5 anymore, now would it ? ;-)
