Well here we go....2 days to go or so. let the speculation begin.
My prediction.....video baby.
-Pixar movies available for download on iTMS (iTunes Media Store)
-Airport AV
-And a slim possibility of the iPod (hopefully with a "Front Row"-like interface when hooked upto a TV
Cheers

Apple says it will be fun so I predict more products related to Front Row. I see a new design for the Mac mini with Front Row installed and online content.

What I want to see:
A full size Hi-Fi component. Big hard drives (sizes BTO). The same decoding hardware as in the iPod. Optical/Coaxial output + analogue audio output. Gigabit Ethernet port, WiFi, USB2 (and FireWire) port.
A remote with an OLED screeen and ipod scrollwheel. A remote that looks just like an iPod. You can control this device with the remote or with a special version of iTunes on your computer (that controls the device via AirPort or Ethernet). You can plug your iPod into it and manage playlists/syncing through the new iTunes. Music is stored on the device.
It could cost $300-400. It's basically an iPod mated with an AirPort Express + a big harddrive. And it simply connects to your amp or receiver.
If they add video decoding it gets more complicated. It would need a dedicated H.264 decoding chip. HDMI out, S-Video out, Component out, RGB SCART out and yes even composite out. And maybe the addition of analogue 5.1 output.
There is no need whatsoever to equip this with full fledged Intel Core CPUs.

i expect steve jobs, for the first time, will unannounce products. he'll describe a 3 step-plan to return any intel macs already purchased back to apple, and officially state, "oops, premature innovation"

So because that picture is fake it means that one can't be released?

Apple will start selling set-top Macs, disguised as DVR's. Maybe they'll even buy TiVo.

Not that it matters, but that's not the one used in the video. The one in the video looks like a third party cable...

Remember how the fake MacMini surfaced right before the real thing came out?

I would like to see more media use of the Mac. Apple having it's on hardware and software.
