I do not have any inside knowledge or sources this is based off my
web browsing, gut feelings and wants.

iPod

We will get storage size increases or battery life increases, possibly both. I think
it will be a few months before a full video iPod is released, they don’t want to piss
off all the people who got shinny new iPods for Christmas.

.Mac

The service will either get a complete overhaul or the price will be lowered, one of these has
to happen because the service pretty much sucks right now.

iTunes

Small version bump mostly for new features added to the iTunes store and allowing iPod games to play on OS X. Announcement of a few more studios selling movies through the store.

Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5)

Will be shown extensively, with a new default look to the interface. A release date will be set for sometime in February and you can pre-order it now.

iTV

A lot of time will be spent on this one and it will be on sale through the Apple store and ship in a few weeks.

Apple/Nintendo Partnership

Apple and Nintendo will announce a partnership to sell a Wii channel that allows users to stream music/videos from iTunes to the Wii. Apple needs this to prevent the Xbox Marketplace from stealing the lime light from the iTunes Store. Nintendo needs this because the Wii does not have a hard disk to store music/videos so streaming is the only real option. They will price the channel similar or higher to the profit being made on the iTV so Apple does not care if iTV sales are cannibalized.

All Macs

Will get the super drive as the standard.

iMac

This product line will get slight processor speed bumps, storage increases, better graphics and the option of a glossy screen.

MacPro

Will now have the option of using quad core chips and an optional Blue-ray drive in the second drive bay.

iWork

Will get a spreadsheet program and a simple database app that uses SQLite.

iLife

The whole suite will be better optimized for multi-core processors. iPhoto will be optimized to handle even larger libraries and have the ability to work with multiple libraries. iDVD and iWeb will get more templates while iMovie and GarageBand get more control/effects.

And one more thing…

Apple will announce the iPhone. The iPhone will have:

• iPod functionality (music,video,games,address book,iCal)

• Unlocked GSM Phone or Apple MVNO

• WiFi

• Safari mobile

• iChat mobile

The iPhone will not be sold at cell phone stores but will instead be sold at Apple authorized stores only (Apple is too much into control to let Cingular and T-Mobile mess this up). The phone will detect when you are in-range of an open WiFi access point and then use WiFi for iChat mobile and calls (these will only use WiFi if you are running Mac OS X, incentive for people to buy Macs) and Safari mobile for all WiFi access points.

I can only hope some of these come true, personally I want the iTunes Wii channel and a revamped .Mac
