The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Thanks to the surprising number of folks who answered our Macworld SF predictions survey. I usually avoid surveys like the plague so I truly appreciate all your responses. :)

Here’s a recap of the questions:
1) Will Apple unveil the headless iMac?

2) Will Apple unveil a flash-based iPod?

3) Will you consider buying an Apple-Motorola iTunes-compatible phone?

4) Why did Steve Jobs cancel the live broadcast of his keynote address?

5) What dream device do you wish Apple would unveil at MWSF?

6) What are your other predictions for Macworld?

There was a pretty even split on the headless iMac question, but almost all of you thought the flash-based iPod is about to see the light of day. Not terribly many of you are keen on the iTunes phone. Most cited cost as the primary factor in the lack of a live keynote feed, although one person thought it was because “Steve Jobs is a control freak.” :)

Some of the cool dream devices: a universally functional chat application, the PowerBook G5 (yeah!!), a home media center, iPod+radio+2GB flash+GPS, and my personal favorite: brain implants with wireless internet. That would make some jaws drop, eh?

Some predictions for MWSF: Q88 (aka the headless iMac) will be a Mac-TiVo, price slashes, boredom [lol], an announced launch date for Tiger, and the truest bit of clairvoyance that gives Miss Cleo a run for her money: Steve Jobs will wear a black turtleneck. You heard it here first, folks. Well… fourth? At least in the top ten…
