MWSF 2008: My predictions

Here are my predictions for tomorrow’s keynote by Steve Jobs:

  • Faster Macbooks & Macbook Pro’s and upgraded graphics
  • Updated AppleTV
  • new iPhone SDK w/ Flash on the iPhone
  • Movie Downloads
  • and “the one last thing” will be a ultra-portable (like the Nokia n810) with Adobe AIR pre-installed (that’s the “air” in the banners at MWSF)

[EDIT Jan 22] I guess I wasn’t too far off. I did play it a bit safe though. – John O. Â

Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.

Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, extending rich applications to the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write desktop applications using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.
