With only a few hours until Apple's keynote address at WWDC in San Francisco, I thought I'd give my predictions on what we'll might see at the event. I have high hopes for what will be announced, yet I fear that I'm going to be disappointed (at least for now).

Snow Leopard - I think a good long portion of the event will be about the new OS. Demos will be given, some now features introduced, and a release date set. My guess is that people at the event will get the RC versison (or whatever Apple calls it) and the full OS will be released in August. I also predict that a price of around $50 will be set to stay competitive with Windows 7's upgrade cost.

iPhone OS 3.0 - While already previously announced, we'll get another demo of the final version. Perhaps a few new apps and devices using the wireless connectivity, but nothing special. It will be announced that developers can download 3.0 today and that general public will get it Friday.

iPhone Video - This rumor has, of course, generated the most talk over the last few weeks. I think we'll get a storage bump to 16/32 GB, a magnetometer to show direction, a faster processor, and the ability to record video (but not... sadly.. a front facing camera for video chat). The case will be all black with a matte finish. The other "video" part of the announcement will be that you can download TV and movies from the iTunes store directly to the phone (but only on WiFi). The phone will go on sale July 10th.

On More Thing... - Nothing. It seems to me Apple is trying to break assumption that there is always a big surprise at the end of a keynote. Many of the recent ones have had nothing at the end, and I think this one will be no different.

If this holds true if would it would leave a lot of items not spoken about. I think Apple will do other updates soon. Some via silent upgrades on the website and others at a event later this summer (most likely announcing the formal return of Steve Jobs)

No that I made my rational predictions... I figured I'd give my wish-list:
- iPhone with front facing camera for video chat.
- A gamepad add on for the phone that gives you a D-pad or analog stick/buttons for true gaming on the device.
- AppleTV with 1080p output (at the least), and a cable card slot for DVR.
- Processor bumps to MacBook/MacBook Pro (this may be a silent update)
- MacBook Air with 3G built in
- Announcement of a tablet computer (for Jan release) and a new set of features in OS X that developers can start working on.

We'll know in a few hour (1PM EST) if I got anything right...
