Kill time before the keynote with SteveNote Expo – The game:

Say 10GB and a 20GB or maybe keep the iPhone to one model and announce a 16GB version.
-The Flash based MacBook will probably be announced.
-Little increases to the existing MacBook Line, like a big bump in HDD space, and LED lighting. A little increase in processor power.
-Maybe a revamped keyboard for MacBook Pro to incorporate the new keyboards.
-Apple movie rental service will be announced
-A revamp for AppleTV sounds about right
considering the introduction of movie rentals.
-Possibly announcing the 3G iPhone to come in June, I think that announcement will be delayed until the next keynote in September for the WWDC ’08.

2. Movie rentals via the iTunes Store
3. Updated Macs
4. I’ll go out on a limb and say some sort of thin Mac with iPhone touch goodness…

Somebody must know something other than these wild guesses being published on every self respecting Mac Blog.

Besides the obvious file backup and media serving functions, he speculated that it could serve as a digital PABX for telephony (both VoIP and, with added hardware, POTS). To which I would add: home automation.

I can’t wait for Apple’s new Innovations this year especially with a very succesful 2007 for them. The new Intel iMac, the iPhone, the New iPod Line and the very much awaited Mac OS X Leopard were released this year and who knows what’s in store for us this coming 2008. Personally, I would like to get my hands on an iPhone here in the Philippines and I am waiting with much patience. But, for a new apple product, I would definitely want a tablet notebook from apple running mac os x. It would be a great help especially to graphic artists like me. :)

Why update the macbook? Its selling like hotcakes and it wasn’t so long that it was the upgrade to the iBook. The MacBook Pro mind you is just a rebadged Powerbook with a camera and an IR for the remote. Surely this will be updated with a new keyboard (like the macbook and the new apple keyboards). Maybe a smaller form factor, and maybe the super small one to replace the old 12 inch Powerbook.

I think you are on the money with the screens – they need an update and will surely get one.

As for a 3G iPhone… why bother? I think apple will wait until they get another serious rival before they unleash any kind of new iPhone.

The Apple TV may get a storage bump and might get some other bits maybe.. i’m thinking a bluetooth adapter for the USB slot for that mighty small bluetooth keyboard? Maybe

So

-New line of Macbook Pros with a super small one too
- New displays – higher resolution maybe with camera and IR
- New apple TV software and storage for the movie downloads service
- No iPod or iPhone announcements
- Steve to retire

One more thing… Touch controls on new Macbook Pros – image zooming, slideshow, scrolling, panning etc.

It will allow you to take it with you around the house and view web pages, video, photos, email, etc., from anywhere in the house and will run for about 18 hours on battery power. This means it will charge while you’re sleeping but be wireless the rest of the day.
