"There's something in the air"

It will be hard for Apple to follow up last year's Macworld. Now that the 2008 slogan has been revealed, it's time to speculate.

Here are my predictions (and hopes):

1. Apple Store WiMax network.

Apple will announce it's own WiMax network for data and VoIP. The Apple stores will serve as giant connection points for Apple customers. iPhones will be able to make free VoIP calls when in range of a store and Mac users will get super fast broadband connections if they live within range of a store.

2. Mac to iPhone connectivity.

Any Mac will be able to use an iPhone to connect to the web via cell data networks.

3. Real over-the-air sync.

.Mac will be upgraded for OTA with iPhone and Macs. And iCal Server will be available via .mac seat licenses.
