Lately I've only wanted to eat food that would allow this to be put on it.

How'd I do? (Apple's Sept. 1st Media Event Predictions)
Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 4:05PM 
iPod nano
Right:
Touchscreen, iOS design cues but it doesn't run iOS, and FM radio.
Wrong:
Camera. Can't believe they took it away. See last year's introduction to get the sense that it was a 'huge' addition that customers wanted. Guess not.
iPod shuffle
Right:
New colors, adjusted prices
Wrong:
Not same form, not higher capacity ( only 2GB).
iPod Touch
Right:
Retina, VGA cam on front, FaceTime.
Wrong:
Rear camera. It's not even the 3.2mp, I predicted, but literally just shy of 0.7 megapixels, with capped 960x720 still resolution. Ouch. Radio feature.
Apple TV:
Right:
Name, it's still called Apple TV. Works with the aluminum remote, and in fact, comes with it. Works with "Remote" iPhone app. Runs iOS but a touch API-less version (Confirmed by John Gruber). Netflix at launch. Flickr at Launch. Undisclosed on-board memory for OS and apps (a stretch, perhaps, but true). No hard drive.
Wrong:
No Pandora, Facebook, or Twitter. No new SDK, no new App Store. Launch date.
iTunes:
Right:
Figured a new version would be available but not a significant release like "10."
Wrong:
Didn't predict version "10," and obviously not PING.
iLife '11:
Right:
Nothing.
Wrong:
Everything.

September 1st Apple Media Event Thoughts & Predictions
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 3:54PM 
- iPod nano with touchscreen. iOS design cues but it doesn't run iOS. Camera. FM radio.
- Oddly, enough these 'leaked cases' are interesting that they have both sides open but maybe they are just really shitty cases.
- Apple added a video camera to the last generation Nano and Steve has always been explicit, especially when it comes to iPods, in saying that once something is added, it can't be taken away. However, none of these leaks lead you to believe there will be one, but I just believe they don't know anything. I'd bet it has one before I bet it doesn't.
- Shuffle will still exist, in its current form. Higher capacity + Adjusted prices + New COLORS.
- No iOS 4 for iPad tomorrow. A note about its availability in the late 2010, yes.
- New iPod touch. Higher capacities. Retina. 3.2mp Camera on rear. VGA camera on front for FaceTime. Radio feature last gen Nano's had.
- New Apple TV. Still called Apple TV. Works with the aluminum remote or a remote app for iPhone & iPad. Runs iOS but a new version, without touch API's. App Store will be available at launch, with limited partners such as Netflix, Pandora, Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, some of which will give demos! Developers will have same day access to the new SDK and can submit their apps for an late October/early November release of the new Apple TV. No hard drive. Undisclosed on-board memory for OS and apps.
- iLife '11.

Rented on the other night and, wow, was it a fast little coupe! Honestly, I've been wanting to drive one since they came were released and I am really glad to have had the opportunity. Totally would love to have this as as putting around car.
