Predictions from down under.
Im going to go for gold here.
iMac Scenario 1 (realistic) :
iMac with Diamontron 15inch CRT with changed enclosure to accept the flat screen. Removal of FlowerPower and blue dalmation to make way for two new colours. May add touch screen. May be G3 or G4, or mix.
Models - all running on 133mhz bus
533mhz - CD-RW, 128mb, 20gig, OS X standard(or 9.2),
600mhz - CD-RW, 128mb, 30gig, OS X " " "
666mhz - CD-RW / DVD Combo, 256mb, 40gig, OS X " " " "
iMac Scenario 2 (believable) :
iMac "Teserra" formerly known as Son Of Pismo (SOP) will be released. They will feature a unit much the same as a enlarge iBook with slot load on front. A 14.1 inch LCD Will accompany the unit that will balance on a on a specially disigned weighted mechanism to the side.
Designed in 500, 600 and possibly 700 mhz. Featuring the same specs as listed above. Screen will be detachble touch screen and can be used as "webpad" based on the new Blue tooth technology.
(iMacs with LCD's are very possible, not only would Apple be buying an absolute tonne of LCD's driving down the price (they invested $100million in samsung LCD development but also, if iMacs with LCDs were born the weight and size of the shipping Box would decreased, meaning cheaper transport, especially world wide)
Cube - "Violin music plays"
HOWEVER
Teserra mentioned above may come with G4 processor in 533,667 replacing the cube leaving the iMac with a DimondTron CRT. And filling the void in middle market operations. Jobbs is probably too proud to kill the CUBE, he needs to replace it with something to make people forget it existed!
PowerMac G4 (A big guess) -
Industrial oriented case. People want stuff that looks like it was built to last. Made from metal or look alike plastic, curvy days may be gone again, We may return back to being a little square like in the 80's.
Could very well Happen -
G4 667 SP Base model - 40 Gig, 256mb, OS 9.2 and X. 16x CD-RW
G4 733 DP Mid range - 60gig, 256mb, OS 9.2 and X. 16x CD-RW / Combo
G4 833 DP Mid upper - 80gig RAID, 512mb, OS 9.2 and X, 16x CD-RW DVD-R Combo
G5 1000 SP - 80gig RAID, 256mb DDR, X, 16x CD-RW/ 4 X DVD-R combo, Roms and board specifically for X, Massive performace boost from this and G5 specific for OS 10.1 pure performance at 256bit processing. 512 L2 and 1mb L3 cache. running at 200mhz
(OK the last ones a bit of a dodgy one, but I was reassured that I we would see a G5 at this MacWorld.
TiBook -
* CD-RW DVD combo
* 533 and 667 (DP 466 possible. If so 667 wont make it)
* Firewire enhanced (chips replaced on board to work at 400mbps)
* Black in colour (a guess, but makes sense. Apparently it wasn't ever meant to be silvery)
iBook -
Tottally unchaged. The sales are just too huge. Not even a mention to upset the buying train that has made the iBook a best seller worldwide. No revised prices.
NEW FEATURES -
*Mouse and keyboard - May be wireless, but hesitant
*Animal based iMac's
*iPhoto - All models
*iWeb - A guess, easy to make your own webpage software???
*OS X 10.1 or 10.0.5 At least available for download ASAP
*TWO BUTTON MOUSE, it may be time with OS X to start a new era. Scroll wheels hopeful.
* G5 in lineup (somewhere)
* Rackmountable G4 servers in 667 DP ONLY
* ATA 100 7200 RPM Drives
Actually This is more a "every possible config" then a run down.
