With the changing of the calendar, everyone becomes a Nostradamus, expounding their tech predictions for 2008. In order to put this flood of prophecies into some context, here are some of the worse predictions of all time.

Flash memory growth will be a shadow of what was originally predicted according to new figures.
In a sign that the convergence trend is even reaching technology's stalwarts, Dell has hinted its customers could force it to release a laptop with an eight-inch screen.

Apple's newest iPod gets a makeover, adds some evolutionary upgrades, and delivers more bang for the buck. But are these changes enough to make a big splash?
After much gossip and speculation, it looks like Apple is indeed working on a portable video player. But creating a device that's as easy to use as a music iPod won't be easy.
We love almost everything about this beautifully designed player, but the battery life could be longer.
