Since I predict Apple products usually before Apple Events, I decided to make a big list of predictions to cover what I think Apple will be releasing in the future.

iPad 2.0
I think that the next iPad will come out in September with the next generation of iPods. The major new features I think the new iPad will have will be the high resolution Retina display they have on the new iPhone, it will also a Front facing and possibly rear camera that take high quality pictures and high definition video. They will also offer iMovie for the iPad which I think will be easier to use than the iPhone screen. I also think they will decrease the price by around $100.

IOS4 For iPad
Apple has already announced that they will be releasing IOS4 for the iPad in the Fall. I think it will include multitasking but, it would use a style of application switching more similar to OSX than the iPhone.

Apple TV 2.0
The Apple TV never has never really been popular. I think the next Apple TV will allow you to stream content as well as enjoy content you have on your iTunes. This would be more competitive with other set-top-boxes like the Roku box.

iPod Touch 4th Generation

The next version of the iPod Touch will most likely be coming out in September when Apple traditionally release new iPods. The new iPod Touch will include a new 5 MP camera and will be able to shoot HD video. I think it will also have the powerful A4 processor and retina display from the new iPhone 4. It will definitely have a front-facing camera for Facetime and maybe a rear camera as well for higher quality images like the iPhone 4.

**I don’t really have other predictions for other iPods because I don’t know what else they will adding besides more memory.****

Tablet Device

There has been a leak that there  is development of a multi touch graphics tablet for graphic design and using touch controls on your computer. I don’t know when or what Apple will be announcing, but touch seems to be their focus recently.

Mac OS 10.7

This will probably not be announced until the end of this year or the beginning of next year, but obviously a new version of Mac OSX will be coming out and the next version will be 10.7, my guess will be Lion, i couldn’t think of any other “big cat” name. Once again no ideas on features yet, but we will see!

MobileMe

Mobile Me, in my opinion should become a free service for most things, like mail, contacts, calendar so they can compete with Google and other cloud services. I think they could offer premium services in addition like web hosting and extra services and charge for that, but everything else should be free.  The way it is now, I don’t see many people using Mobileme.

Macbook Air

The Macbook Air hasn’t been much of a success either and I think it won’t really be significantly updated. It may get a slight bump in specs every now and then, but besides that, I think the vast majority of  people will choose a Macbook, especially for a lighter computer, or a Macbook Pro for a more powerful computer. The iPad could also be a device that can be a replacement for the Air as long as you don’t mind the touch screen.

iWork.com

Apple introduced a cloud service for their Office suite, iWork, in 2009 and haven’t mentioned it in any keynotes nor have they taken it out of beta. I think this project needs to be developed into more of a web editing suite instead of just a reader and sharing system, which is what it is now.

iTunes Cloud

I think the iTunes music store will become available on the internet and will also add over the air, synchronization. I think that this one will be announced at the same time as the new iPods in September!

This is all I can think of right now, i’m sure I will predict other things in a future  article but, this is what I can come up with right now.
