god, i love it when i’m right… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
here was my prediction<\/a> 4 (!) months ago.<\/p>\n here is where i was right:<\/p>\n a. apple would introduce a video ipod<\/a> – that was not too difficult as the rumor sites were always predicting it! now two things that need to be discussed:<\/p>\n 1. video recording: the new ipod cannot record videos (yet) but there is already a tutorial on how to put dvds on the new ipod<\/a>. and soon there will ways on how to put recordings from elgato’s eyetv<\/a> and from tivo on the ipod.<\/p>\n 2. watching imovie content on it – now that is a bit more delicate and i was hoping for a more integrated approach but nonetheless apple has a way of importing imovies to the ipod with quicktime pro<\/a>. now you need quicktime pro (around EUR 30 – so no big deal) but i would say this should come with each ipod!<\/p>\n all in all i was completely right! AND had no input from any outside sources!<\/p>\n i wish i could do this more often… predicting the future is fun!<\/p>\n
\nb. i said in september – well, it happened in october
\nc. i said it will be itunes 5 – it’s now called itunes 6 (because apple pretty much skipped itunes 5 – it was only out for 2 or 3 weeks!)
\nd. i said: pvr\/mp3\/photo – well, close enough: it’s a video \/ mp3 \/ photo player (i was wrong with the recording feature!)
\ne. bigger screen (and jonathan ive’s genius) – the form, look & feel factor are very close to the older generation ipods and it has a slightly bigger screen! (excatly what i thought it would be like)
\ne. download music videos, tv shows, movies – right, except for the movies but that will happen sooner or later (see also below)<\/p>\n
