OK, predictions might be a stretch. But here are a few things that I’d like to see in the WWDC happening this week!
iOS Predictions Last year was the year of the widgets in iOS. They were a hit for being customizable, being able to do certain tasks that would present information to you. This year, I think its time to take that next step in the evolution and have them become much more interactive.
Well, the keynote was today at noon CDT, let’s see how I did.
1. The standard stats of how well the iPhones and Apps are selling Yup, got those. And they were impressive! Something along the lines of 50,000 apps, over 1 billion app downloads and somewhere in the range of 40,000,000 iPhones and iPod Touches. Nice!
2. iPhone 3.0 will be released with availability right away for iPhones. Once again iTouches will get the $20-$30 shaft.
Here is my quick run down of predictions for the keynote:

(Seriously Apple, why do you treat them like second class citizens?) Snow Leapard will get a July release date with kick ass Exchange/AD support. No netbook…again! The bloggers will cry party foul.
