This one is going to be 2 hours, start your rumors now!
This is meant to be humorous, right? 'Cause the only new things announced in this summary of yours is a new FM remote for the iPod and then the iLife/iWork software.

As since about half of that is unnecessary now (the Apple-Intel stuff and the MS speech), we're going to be getting more than 33% more speech time.
I added the MacBook Pro thanks! Your second point is exactly why I listed all those things. 2 hours is a long time, and if they want they can use it all up.

I'd like for this to be a good omen, but you cannot underestimate Job's ability to burn keynote time with breathless recapitulations of how great an existing product is doing, market share news, retail store news, iPod dominance news, etc.
I mean, there's going to be at least 15 minutes on how fantastic the Intel transitions went and how many apps are UB and how the new Intel machines are selling like hotcakes and testimonials from some big software vendors and so on.

That's a given... but what about the extra 30 minutes... huh? Huh?

Fact is: most all keynotes are about 2 hours (sometimes more) EXCEPT for 2006, coming in at about 1 hour and 35 minutes. So this year... errr, last year was a rarity. MWSF 2007 should be back to normal.
That's a given... but what about the extra 30 minutes... huh? Huh?
OK, OK, the extra 30 minutes portends a continuous procession of jaw-dropping, game changing tech that literally explodes the heads of half of the people at the Moscone. By the last 10 of those 30 minutes Jobs will be covered in the blood of all the exploded heads, laughing wildly and as he whips the white cloth off of device after device, fat blue sparks shooting out of the ends of his fingertips as he powers each one up with pure RDF mojo, until San Francisco itself is consumed in a writhing vortex of orgasmic Apple nerd ecstasy and vanishes into the Pacific.
At the same time, each and every iPod owner will be struck dead by the enormous feed-back surge over the iTunes channels and every Mac will abruptly display the face of God, driving their owners utterly insane, just before their screens blast outward in a deadly fusillade of razor sharp fragments.
It will be nothing short of the Macpocalypse. It will be known as "the extra 30 minutes at the end of time".

Isn't the Jobs presentation almost always 2 hours at MacWorld?
I went to a keynote once when it was first broadcasted to the Apple retail stores - it was over 2 hours long.

Nope.

You forgot the Macbook Pro.

Not the kind of one you are thinking about.
