Its less than 12 hours away from the big World Wide Development Conference (WWDC) keynote presentation. This head keynote speaker is said to be Phill Shiller, Apple’s vice president of  product marketing not the usual Steve Jobs.

The Apple News Weekly staff produced these final predictions:

What is going to be announced for sure:
-The New iPhone 3.0 OS
-Snow Leopard
Likely:
- New iPhone Hardware (if not at WWDC, then later on this month or early next month)
Unlikely:
-Apple Announcing an apple tablet computer.

What we would like:
-For the iPhone to be called the iPhone Video, iPhone 2009, or something other than iPhone3Gs.
- Steve Jobs to reappear into the public eye at the keynote presentation.

Rating: 10 out of 10 !!
Pros: A small pocketable battery that  holds an amazing charge.  Holds enough charge to almost charge two iPhones!  Great looking device that matches the iPhone 3G theme perfectly. Works with any iPod. (except iPod Shuffle)

Cons: Limits listening capabilities on the iPod Nano 4G while using iPWR.
(but still charges iPod very nicely)

Overall: This is the best external battery for the iPhone, it charges the iPhone fully with enough left in the battery to almost fully charge another iPhone. It also works on all iPods with 30 pin connectors (thats all iPods except the iPod shuffle) It was such a good device for the iPhone that we had to award it the best of iPhone award.

Are you sick and tired of your iPod’s rubber case sticking to your finger when you try to spin the click wheel? Well Belkin has developed a silicone that they have been using to make their cases. After using the case above for quite a while now and using other silicon cases this seems to be my favorite because it is thin, stylish and as noted above has a click wheel covering that does not grip your fingers.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Pros:

• Click wheel has a covering that does not grip finger
• Silicon protects the aluminum enclosure
• Very stylish
• Does everything you would expect from a sleeve

Cons:

• Does not protect screen
