The WWDC keynote is about 10 hours away, but I just wanted to write down my predictions, so I can point back to it on Tuesday and say: Wow, I'm clueless.
Mac Pro. Totally, the new Intel chips are exactly what the G5 replacement needs, and this puts pressure on Adobe to finish their Pro App. It also simplifies the Apple line to all Intel.
Leopard. I'm forced to agree with John Gruber over at Daring Fireball, the Finder is going to undergo some major changes. Spotlight will be updated, and I'd expect a lot more iChat integration due to the increasing ubiquity of iSight cameras in the iMac, MacBook lines.
And, Windows will not be integrated into Leopard, but Apple will be happy to sell copies of Parallels.
iPod Video. Not today, but soon. Maybe during Paris, but I'd expect a special event in August. iPod Nanos are also due for a change, which explains the Educational Discount that includes a Free iPod Nano coupon.
iPhone, iHome, iTablet. All would be excellent products and would sell like hotcakes, to use a well-worn phrase, but not for WWDC.
Of the three, the iHome (a Mac DVR) is most likely, but Jobs would totally change the phone industry with an iPhone. And Jobs likes changing the world.
