I’m now officially a rumor site
So only 2 of my 8 predictions came true during Steve’s keynote, but I think that more than qualifies me to start a new Apple rumor site.
This keynote of course had some pleasant surprised:

Hopes and predictions
If you take “There’s something in the air” as literally as you can, it seems obvious that Apple is planning on releasing either a new wireless device or new wireless capabilities for its existing product lines. But then who knows if they even mean it literally at all.
Instead of what I think Steve Jobs is most likely to announce, here is my list of the rumored products that I’d most like to see unveiled tomorrow morning…
Could it be Apple Air Freshener™?
The Macworld banners have everyone wondering what the big announcements will be at the keynote on Tuesday. “There’s something in the air” conjures up all kinds of ideas. I personally think Apple is going to unveil an environmentally-friendly line of air freshening products ala method.
Ok so not really…
So what I do I really think it could all mean?
What to do on Macworld Eve?
What’s a better way to spend Macworld Eve in SFO than trying to find free WiFi and chocolate? Well let me tell you…n-o-t-h-i-n-g. Of course you can’t just enjoy the free WiFi and chocolate without spending some time reading the rumors and bookmarking the best places to get the latest news on Macworld (besides this blog and Mac-Forums.com of course).
I’ve made it no secret that I personally am hoping for AppleTV updates to include a TV tuner card and DVR functionality. Somehow I’m thinking that’s not the “Something’s in the air” update. Could it portend wireless iPod syncing? More media streaming options for your digital living room? The much anticipated ultra-portable Mac? Less than 48 hours until we know for sure.
“There’s something in the air.”
On the message board, D3v1L80Y drew my attention to the banners that are currently being hung around Moscone Center in preparation for next week’s expo. Here’s a photo I found via Apple Insider:

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what Apple’s hinting? Gruber mentions the font is straying from their typical presentation.
Please post your ideas in the comments or in the board.
