[...] I was going to hold off on this post until closer to MacWorld, but since everyone has begun unleashing their predictions, I figured I might as well also. As you may know, MacWorld is Apple’s flagship trade show and keynote. Every year Steve Jobs announces a whole host of new products, and lately its been bloggers’ jobs to throw down their predictions. That’s exactly what I’m going to do now. [...]

Interesting suggestion – black aluminum towers.

I think Apple may have forwent a huge marketing opportunity by not having that plug clickable, but a teaser’s a teaser, I suppose.

I’m just thinking back, and remembering the last time Apple emphasized a year in an ad (1984)…

So perhaps we’ll soon find out “why 2007 won’t be like 2007″?

Not sure if black symbolizes professionalism, even less if it’s so glossy as the MacBook Pro. Maybe some brushed metal black, yes. Btw you see exactly the same happening in the digital camera bussiness. Look in your local electronic store. More and more black devices come up.

I’d definitely dig a gun-metal color scheme. But I believe it’s just around the corner…

I had thought the same thing about the possibility of black hardware on the horizon for Apple.. Imagine some kind of brushed metal black color? it could be very cool. I think so at least..

I think black stands for “pro-sumer” in Apple’s current line-up. I doubt they would use it for their most kickass Pro machine.

I am looking forward to the new year, indeed. The logo though is brillaint, because the black symbolizes professionalism.
We are about to experience a lot of new Apple products coming up. iTV and OS X Leopard, as the greatest.
