Holiday Lineup
Obviously the current Apple product lineup is not going to be the official "Holiday" lineup. There will be changes made before November - but what will they be?
-MacBook Pro Upgrades
-iPod Video
-Early iTV? (Similar to the early Intel transition - but much much faster?)
-Leopard!!!
In all likelyhood, there will just be minor speed upgrades, or will there?

And we know how correct Apple was in their consumer portable upgrades until the last iBook
MacBook updated to 2.0GHz and 2.16 (maybe 2.33)
Not sure about iPods, this weeks update seems like an end of line update (price cut, not that much on the actual iPod updated). iPods are usually updated ready for Christmas though, and I'm thinking there could be a 640x480 video iPod (same resolution as new iTunes store video movies) soon.
i think leopard will come out not to much longer after macworld, that will be the shocker!
Well, three months after MWSF is not too long, but not too short either.

Where's the machine with a Conroe cpu?
iSlab:
10" height, 4" wide, 8" deep
Conroe cpu choice of 3 options
1 GB ram
2 PCI Express one filled with graphics card, 2 optional upgrades @ time of purchase
Superdrive
250 GB hard drive
one free drive bay for Time Machine backups
2 Firewire 800
2 USB 2.0
smelling salts to bring everyone back from their fainting spells.
iTV is also a slight possibility but more likely MWSF.
