"One person wishing to keep anonymity and seemingly well-informed, indicated that the advertisements of Macworld San Fancisco will be of a number of 11 on the whole. There are no additional details, but that makes for 1every10mn of the Keynote!! this will be "trés dense"(charged). Steve will hardly have time to get refreshed/a drink."

Rookie with a bold prediction.
I say MWSF 2003 is all about Bluetooth, iSync and Rendevous. In order for this to work I also believe we will see the entire apple product line updated. Some will be very marginal updates, some will be substantial but none will be left behind. Built-in Bluetooth for everybody! This would also explain the no OS9 booting as of Jan 03 in all NEW models. (yea I know about the quark and education models in June)
Also, notice that MS is releasing thier $19.95 version of the iApps on Jan 7th? But Apple doesn't have a Tivo-like app you say. Hmmm.
Trash me now and praise me later.<hr></blockquote>

1.)bluetooth everything
2.)new OSX
3.)rendezvous iTunes/iPod/airport thingamajiggy
4.)death of classic? (more like palliation, but death sounds so much more dramatic.)
5.)faster/better iMacs
iDunno
I wanna say PPC970 preview/pre-order, to believe that IBM and Apple have fooled everyone to our great mutual satisfaction, but...
6-11?
who knows?
go figure
You mean that Steve, Phil, Jon and Avi aren't numbnutz after all?
Huh.

Its too soon for a new version of OS X. Bluetooth is likely on some, but not all models, the laptops just recieved an update. FW2 could show, as well as AirPort 2. Updated iPod, new consumer device. Updated iMacs would be a good bet. more Randevue and iSync news. Update to the Xserve, and release of the Xserve RAID. Updated and reduced prices for Apples displays. Updated iApps.
1. iTunes 4 (ACC, Ogg Vorbis, Rendevous)
2. iMovie 3
3. iSync (final)
4. iPhoto 2
5. Airport 2 (802.11g - 54Mbs)
Airport 2 card w/Bluetooth
6. iWeb
7. AppleWorks 7
8. Revised Xserve?
9. Revised PowerMac lineup
w/built-in Bluetooth, FireWire 2 and USB 2.0
10. Revised FP iMac line
w/1GHz, 19" as high-end.
11. iPod 2 (color screen, iSync w/iPhoto)
That's the extent of my (realistic) prognostications. Some of these are stretches too. Maybe Steve WILL regain that "Oh, one more thing..." magic this time.

No good reason other than a hunch.
MSKR
As long as they are operating on separate "channels" there shouldn't be an interference problem between airport and bluetooth.
<strong>Correct me if I am wrong, but having a bluetooth device and a airport card both operating within six feet of one another can cause substantial interference. Apple would have to integrate the new bluetooth standard which avoids airport frequencies (Both in the 2.4 Ghz range).</strong><hr></blockquote>
I have a D-Link bluetooth adapter plugged into my keyboard that attaches to a Mac that is using Airport to access other Mac's and the internet. I use iSync to synchronize my T68i (bluetooth enabled) with my Mac. Whatever the problems were, they do not show up in my configuration.
Now I don't suppose that they would do that if there's nothing to show off with...
even in France...

1. Seriously bumped iMac (Bluetooth, FW2)
2. Revised Powermac (Faster bus? Maybe. Bluetooth, FW2)
3. xServe update (To current PM specs.)
4. iMovie 3
5. Final Cut Pro 4
6. Strategic alliance formed for Firewire 2
7. IBM announces support for xServe
8. Apple gives hint about future technology roadmap (To woo potential xServe customers)
9. Digital lifestyle device
10. Steve's spiel about how Apple is "Weathering the storm." Apple turns small profit.
11. 'Book bump announced, shipping March.
Bada' bing.
I could add a lot more easily, and I don't think that 11 announcements is really a big deal. I mean how many announcements does Steve average on a keynote anyway?
Crap or not, it's a cool idea and would explain the need for a color screen.
2. Built-in Bluetooth (new keyboards and mice?)
3. XRaid
4. Updated iMac, 19" ?
5. Updated Displays
6. iSync Update
7. iCal Update
8. iTunes Update
9. iPod update
10. iPhoto update
11. And one more thing.... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

3. Updated eMacs: 800Mhz and 933ghz, 133Mhz bus for both.
4. iPod 2 (don't ask)
5. AppleWorks 7
6. PPC970 Powered Xserves with Xraid. 1Ghz, 1.25Ghz, and dual 1.5Ghz. They will use DDR and not Rambus.

8. iTunes 4
9. iPhoto 2
10. Isync
11. New displays. 17", 19", 22", and 23"HD. New designs as well. More flexible...like the iMac screen is. No not like that. Different but similar.
