Apple will release an iPhone Nano that is 2G, plays music, but doesn't offer apps or Wi-fi.

Engadget will be accused of Apple bias because Apple puts out something that everyone likes and buys in record numbers.

The Zune people will say the Zune is still better, even when the iPod Touch comes out with 128 GB of flash memory.

Steve Jobs lives, but passes on the CEO position to Tim Cook and remains as Chairman.

Windows 7 will be delayed.

Computer hardware - Netbooks get bigger and bigger until people eventually realise that they're just underpowered laptops. The market dies.

Phones - Apple release a PAYG iPhone Nano which sells millions. The iPhone stabilises but doesn't make much headway despite a release in 32 GB and the iPod Touch's form factor. The 5800 CWM sells millions in Europe and Asia but less so in the US. The N97 is the phone of the year. Samsung get better and better.

Yeah.]]>Jan 1st 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/]]>Jan 1st 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/]]>Jan 1st 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/

It's the launched part that I have a problem with. I mean, COME ON, how long was Vista delayed? You really think it's likely that it will be released on time this year? I think good reviews are more likely. I mean, Windows 7 is just Vista with a better candy shell, that's all. It's not like it's going to be a completely new operating system, much like OS X.

It's not going to stop me from speaking the truth about Microsoft, Apple or anyone else. I tend to read Low Ranked comments more than other comments and I think a lot of other readers are the same, so no big deal.

People aren't low ranking you cuz they hate apple. It's cuz they dont like YOU.
Hope that cleared things up.

A) because of other Companies
i)Microsoft release windows 7,
ii)Android support from SE and Nokia

b) because of Apple
i)Apple will block opera, flash and amazon mp3 store apps from app store
ii) new imacs/mac minis will to expensive for current economic climate, and people won't want the same mac as last year only made out of one piece of metal
iii) Apple will continue to charge for updates, that is if they ever do add copy/paste or flash support]]>Jan 1st 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/

1) Chrome gets plugin support and starts to eat into opera and firefox marketshare.
2) IE keeps market share due to fact that only people currently using it. don't see IE as a program but simply as "The Internet"]]>Jan 1st 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/
I back up this prediction that if Windows 7 were released today, stable. Snow Leopard still has many bugs due to the fact #1 Leopard was far from perfect and #2 Snow Leopard was much to ambitious rewrite into 64 bit without trying to understand the root causes of instability in Leopard. (Networking in particular) Windows 7 was reexamining of what consumers wanted out of Vista and what caused people to have issues. In addition I think Vista was the big change Snow Leopard will be. Losing backward compatibility or trying to emulate it. Vista was necessary evil, like UAC which forced software developer to code responsibility.]]>Jan 1st 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/predictions-for-2009/I don't know about the prediction for IE. I think it's going to decrease because Google is already pushing for Chrome to be installed on computers you buy at Best Buy right alongside Google Desktop (have you seen a PC lately that DIDN'T have Google Desktop!? It's crazy!) They pushed Chrome out of BETA a million times faster than any of their normal products (like you said, Gmail lol). And, people want to try out Google stuff just because it's Google.

@LJKelley:
Seriously, you know what you're talking about ;-). I seriously wonder if Snow Leopard (which is the equivalent jump Apple is taking that Microsoft made with Vista) could withstand the heat of all the "new" stuff consumers hate if it wasn't for the economic downturn and Apple's high prices. I mean, we're all so eager to check out their new stuff, and they sure know how to make it appealing...
