Sorry, no flowery prose, I’m stuck in an airport hotel, here are my last minute predictions for Monday’s big Macnerd love-in.

iPhone

• the form factor will be, incredibly, thinner. They may have to violate a few laws of physics to make this happen
• matte black
• world phone 3G antennas. With the myriad announcements that the iPhone is coming to basically every corner of the earth “sometime later this year” it only makes sense to me that they’d make one phone that would run everywhere at 3G speeds.
• GPS, no more triangulation
• 3 megapixel camera that also shoots video with a forward facing video camera for 3G video conference networking that will also talk to iChat users. And a pony.
• OLED screen. With all those fancy new chips, it needs something to cut down on power drain, the screen seems like a logical start.
• dashboard widgets will sync with their iPhone equivalents (e.g. every weather widget you have on your desktop will sync with the iPhone weather widget)
• over the air syncing with the revamped .Mac rebranded as me.com
• 32GB and 16GB configurations
• $599, $499 respectively
• AND… finally, copy and paste will be a system wide control. Steve Jobs will turn the stage over to Adam “Lonelysandwich” Lisagor for a demonstration.

OS X

• Snow Leopard exists as a “point” release update to OS X, making it 10.6
• it will only run on Intel machines
• it won’t introduce any new features, a la Dashboard or Time Machine
• …however, it will integrate MultiTouch into the core OS from the iPhone, with full “Core” level API’s akin to Core Graphics (Core Touch?) with all of the Cocoa hooks a developer could want for integrating touch into their applications
• seeded to developers with all of the NDA goodness we’ve come to know and love

One More Thing

• a MultiTouch tablet that acts as an input device to any Mac
• will integrate an OLED display for reading stored documents (PDF, HTML)
• will communicate with a Mac or iPhone via bluetooth, acting as a “dumb” display, without much storage or processing of its own
• not a fullblown standalone device but an peripheral.
• will retail for $199, shipping when Snow Leopard does. Everyone in attendance at the show will get a tablet to start touch-enabling their apps for the Snow Leopard launch.
• Snow Leopard will be included with the tablet or available separately for $29.
• will ship first quarter of 2009
