Special Event Sep 2010 Predictions

When Apple announced the September 1st Special Event last week, I was finishing up a project, (yes another iPhone app!) and I couldn't take time to fill in the rumors for Prediction. Once the app was solidly on it's way in the review process I took some time to back fill the rumors for Prediction and to my surprise, found 29 rumors, going through my neglected RSS feeds! The last time I had that many rumors for an event was when the iPad was announced at the beginning of this year, and then there were 38 rumors. My point in saying all this is simply that tomorrow's special event is going to be big. It also marks the first Apple keynote to be streamed live for a very, VERY long time. I hope the Internet can handle the load!

Here's the info for the live video stream: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/08/31alert.html

Here are the rumors I've come up with along with my predictions. If I've missed any, please let me know!
