Thoughts on the Science and Business of Data
Well, this one wasn’t exactly rocket science given the, but Apple just announced their widescreen touchscreen video iPod, as I predicted would happen this year. What I didn’t anticipate was that it would have an integrated phone. Apple, it seems, is trying its hardest to make me part with my beloved Blackberry. What a coup for Cingular! I may have to buy it just for the audio/video capabilities anyway.
So, 9 days into 2007 one of my predictions has come true, hopefully I do as well on the rest!
