I think Apple is going to try and start producing it's own artists. Granted - they're going to end up getting sued if they do (see wayback lawsuit Beatles v. Apple Computers over name/trademark, since the Beatles label was Apple records - primary defense that allowed Jobs to keep the name was "we don't do music"...) but I think it's a for sure. Yeah, everyone already knows about the MacBook Air - even me, and I'm not an Apple Fanatic... But I think they're definitely going to try and get rid of the 'middleman' when it comes to the music industry.

New micro-notebook. Probably 64Gb of NAND FLASH instead of a hard drive. May or may not have a touch screen. 2. 16Gb iPhone for $399. May mean an 8Gb phone for a lower price or the 8Gb model may just get discontinued. 3. 3G iPhone will probably be later in the year. Maybe end of 1Q or sometime in 2Q. 4. Usual updates to Mac OS X etc. 5. Hopefully an upgrade to Apple TV to make it far more on demand friendly. My predictions:
