I'm feeling pessimistic so I'm going to predict all the worst things that can happen so that I can be proven wrong hopefully.
iChat for the iPhone with the usual backstage chat with Phil...and all of Europe will sigh a huge 'meh' because it doesn't do msn and is therefore completely pointless, still, not that it matters as the iPhone still won't be 3G.
Steve will unveil AppleTV2 with a built in tuner that only works in the USA, and announce content deals with NBC or ABC or whatever US network that nobody with a brain cares about anyway, and still no content deals with any European networks or movie companies. Zero content before, zero after. Or maybe well get more American shows like 'When Obese People Attack!!'
New Cinema displays finally but with glossy screens, which nobody doing any decent work wants.
Glossy only screens on the MacBookPro.
No more firewire.
A cheesy silver mouse to match the cheesy silver iMac...but not the cheesy silver keyboard.
Death of the Mac Mini to which AppleInsider will crow that they predicted it, forgetting that they've been doing that for over a year.
The XMac arrives, but the XMac weenies still complain they could build one cheaper themselves from a shoe box, three yoghurt pots and an old Etch-a-Sketch and still play Halo Death Wotsit 17 faster than a Mac.
iTunes 8 attains full sentience and takes over your Mac entirely before it ushers in the reign of the robots.

Consumer desktop Mac minitower. This is a gaping hole in your line up, FILL IT!!!!
I hate MS, and Vista sucks monkey balls, but HP makes exactly the boxes I want and Adobe CS3 apps work pretty much the same cross-platform. I'm almost convinced I could grudgingly live with XP if it meant being able to get the hardware I need. For the love of God, Apple, please don't make me go there.
As a Mac user and long-time poster to sites like this, I must reveal my credentials to one and all . . . and avow my disappointment with everything Apple has ever done. Ever. Truly. The hardware products aren't good enough or cheap enough. The software products aren't comprehensive enough or updated fast enough. Steve's keynote addresses aren't focused enough or broad enough. The stock price is not high enough or low enough.
There. Am I one of the great unwashed Mac Masses now? Gawd, but I hope so, 'cause every time I have a positive thought about AAPL or the company's future, I feel SO VERY DIRTY. Mea culpa. Mea culpa.
long time??? 14 posts started in 2007??? where else do you post? why so disappointed??? i wish apple could be all things to you, but when compared to pc, apple has the products that people want and are growing faster than the pc market....people must like it so far. are they complete? never but pretty close..... i think with SJ giving the keynote that it will be something tremendous. also when was the last time people waited with bated breath for anything MS or what's his name said.
i'm glad i am apple....my corp just updated their server access for us mac fans. i am free truly free at last. for enterprise to be enbracing some aspect of apple is a huge step. and for me.....maybe not for you i don't have to buy a pc or windows anything. i'm at peace.
i'm just waiting for the iphone to have voice dialing, i've put off any mac puchase till that SJ talks

Oh my god, stop the presses!!!!!
No, you got it backwards man! START the presses!!

The word is XMAS
If I was there for the keynote, I'd throw a minitower case up on stage, and yell, "FILL IT, Steve!!!".
Yeah, I know, I know... security would toss me. Still would be so worth it.

I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers!

Of course, getting into Moscone Center with an empty mini tower case would no problem at all.

So that's what it's been doing with all of that memory....

That would be great, but your right you would certainly get a taser to the side of the head.
