Kevin Rose, creator of Digg.com, formerly of The Screensavers, and occasional “This Week in Tech” podcast fame, has posted his predictions for today’s Steve Jobs Macworld Expo keynote. Rose accurately called the 2GB iPod nano’s name, color screen, and price before it’s announcement. Rose did not mention the 4GB iPod nano before it was announced, so some of the information below may be spotty, but generally correct, and the list, of course, could also be incomplete:
Rose’s list:
• 15″ intel Macbook – order tomorrow, ships Feb (thinner, dual core)
• iPod FM receiver
• iWork/Life ’06
• New remote of some type
• Photocasting (iPhoto)
• OS X.4.4 w/new widgets

MacDailyNews Note: If the Intel-based Mac debuts today, you’ll hear many reporters squawking that Apple’s is “six months early!” While good publicity for Apple, it’s incorrect. Steve Jobs plainly said Apple would debut the first Intel-based Macs “by this time next year” on June 6, 2005. He could have released Intel-based Macs a minute later and they wouldn’t have been “early” at all. There is no way to be “early” on delivery when you tell people you’ll do something “by this time next year.” You can only be late if a year passes and you do not release what you said you would deliver.
