Now that we have a refresh in iPods, iMacs, MB Pros & MB what is left for Stevie to show us during the MWSF, apart from iTV and iLife/iWork updates (maybe Leo)? I have a gut feeling that there is something big brewing in Cupertino.

[Dark Helmet]

10.5, ilife, iTV.

Maybe new iPod/phone/widescreen and Monitors.

[SirCastor]

It's quite possible that there's nothing big on the burner. I seem to remember a few MW shows that nothing terribly exciting happened and we were all sorely disappointed.

[King Bob On The Cob]

At least the iTV and iLife/iWorks.
Airport updates to support the bandwidth HD Video requires.
New monitors would make sense since they haven't been really bumped for some ridiculous amount of time.

MB/MBPs have just been updated, maybe a bump at MacWorld (Intel spits out chip updates alot faster). New MBPs after the new chipset ships in Q1.

Mac Pros may see a revision, as there are new Intel chips out at the top of the performance ladder.

I can't see another iMac bump coming until the new chipset (Santa Rosa?) ships.

iPods really need something fresh on the top of the lineup, but MacWorld may not be the place for that.

Looking to be a boring MacWorld.

I kind of agree with SirCastor. I wouldn't bank on any major releases.

iTV and iLife are almost sure things, but beyond that... I'm not holding my breath.

10.5 and its secret features is enough for me to make it non-boring.

10.5, iLife, iTV. By that time there may be a Mac mini update, possibly linked into the iTV (iTV and Mac mini as a media centre package?).

Out on a limb, Video iPod with all the touch screen hoo-ha.

[imitchellg5]

iTV, iLife '07, iWork '07, Leopard unveiling, Mac Pro update.

[mduell]

Software: Minor iLife updates, new iWork app (spreadsheet), couple Leopard features and firm release date

Hardware: 8-way and other Mac Pro upgrades (if not before the event), iTV

Media: HD movies and TV shows to keep up with Microsoft

[slugslugslug]

They've been pretty consistent about not introducing pro towers at MacWorld, so I think Mac Pros could go 8-way before the year's out. I agree with the other obvious ones like iLife/iWork, Leopard preview/release schedule. I also think the One True Video iPod or a phone, but not both, is a possibility. Though I think the phone is more likely to get its own special media event, a few months later.

I've learned not to plan on the iPhone. I mean this year who knows MAYBE but we've been saying that for the last five years. Each year it begins to make more sense, and I think Apple's in a great position to do it this year but again who knows. Likely we'll see the iTV unveiled, new versions of iLife and iWork, more info on Leopard potentially if big changes are being made to the look of Leopard that they wanted to keep till Vista was shipping they might think that that's a big enough thing to warrant a lot of time. My guess is we might see something like a Product Red MacBook.
My guess is though that the iTV will take a long time to go through.

[Ganesha]

Hello, welcome to S.F....

iPod, iTunes Store #'s updates. iPod related hardware announcement.

iLife 07: No new application, bunch of new features.
iWork 07: New Spreadsheet App, Pages becomes more usable, new eye candy for keynote.

Macs: Updated MacMini to Core2.. Steve will say something to the effect of, Apple is first* to sell exclusively 64-bit systems. *--someone on a message board will chime in about Sun or SGI was first. Maybe Octcore Macs if they haven't been introduced already.

Leopard: Steve unveils the TOP SECRET stuff in Leopard!! 'We couldn't show you until now...' News of Finder's death is greeted by great cheers.... Shipping on May 25, 2007.

One more thing: ???

Nah, Consumer show. They'll save The XServes and the Mac Pros for another announcement.

[Demonhood]

besides, i'll already have my new xserve by then and won't want to wait hours in line just to hear about it.

[seanc]

Is this another thread or was my post deleted?

[EFFENDI]

Predictions:
new iPod, new colours?
iTV is a fo-sho.
Mac mini update.
Mac Pro update - 8 core.
New version iLife, with more features.

They should bring back Ellen Feiss.

[Salty]

Having a really hot lady for the I'm a Mac thing might be great. We should get a better looking guy though.

Nah, thanks.

Some sexy chick that looks smart.

[TheoCryst]

Yeah, sexy Mac Chick 1.0.

And as far as products go:
- iWork '07 (possibly with spreadsheet app)
- iLife '07 (probably nothing exciting)
- More Leopard info for the masses
- iTV
- Mac Mini updates
- iPhone? Wouldn't count on it, but possible

Sounds interesting to me. Not jaw-dropping, but interesting nonetheless.

[olePigeon]

I hope they update the MacBook at some point to include a dedicated video card. Even if it's a low-end one. I want one so bad, but that damn Integrated Graphics keeps me from getting it.
