Well, macworld is in less than two hours, and here’s what I want to see and what I think is possible.
Big Stuff
Updated Notebooks
I’m not talking about new ones, but updated ones. I think Apple is going to start overhauling the MacBooks and MacBook Pro’s, but still keep them the same models. I think we’re going to see new designs of old products here.
MacBook Air/Touch/Insertsomethinghere
There have been a ton of rumors surrounding a ultra-portable MacBook. One “rumor” lately stated it would have built in AT&T Wireless. Locked. I doubt it, but we’ll see. I think Apple will need to enter this market – especially with new devices like the Eee PC. Apple left this behind when they stopped making a 12 Inch PowerBook.
Others
iPhone – Possibly 3G,3G sometime in 2008 (thanks, Carolyn). Definitely some GPS technology. And, of course, the 3rd party applications and the new SDK.
Apple TV – The Apple TV has been left behind a little – no real updates for a while. I think we’re going to see some more content added to the iTunes store and possibly some extended compatibility on the Apple TV. EDIT: Carolyn (from Pownce) thinks that DVR/Blu-ray technology will be added. I like that idea, more of a media device.
Cinema Displays – I think we’ll see the new LED backlights on the Cinema Displays, and possibly some new designs. They’ve been left alone for a long time. EDIT: Carolyn also thinks that we’ll see some larger Cinema Displays for the living room, you know, for the Apple TV.
That’s it, and we’ll see what happens later!

They renewed MacPros already soo I’m just waiting for new cinema displays. I think they will abandon the 20″ model and just offer us 24″ 27″ and 30″. Well we’ll see
