A couple of Apple predictions for 2011
In the spirit of a somewhat scientific approach to prediction, let me nail my colors to the mast and thus record:
1. Apple will introduce a new smaller form factor phone to address the middle of the mass market. This product will wrongfoot a lot of people who believe in progress through the (open) web on-the-go. It will also put paid to the idea that Apple will always be marginalized to the premium end of the market.
2. Later in the year they will lay the iMac down and make it multitouch. They'll introduce a lot of the iOS touch motifs to make this interface work, but the design will be confused because the keyboard is still in the way (of progress with desktop computing).
