My only predications are a new iPhone (32gb w/ video camera) and more info on Snow Leopard. I'd love to hear about a tablet, but I'd imagine that will be a separate event with El-Jobso at the end of the month.

I'll keep this thread updated tomorrow

 

[NoStateofMind]

I'm looking forward to the release of 3.0 software for my iphone. Really wish they would allow tethering with it even if it costs more.

A new iPhone would just piss me off knowing I just got this 16gb version last week, I would have waited if I didn't need the capabilities of it at this time.

 

[KeypoX]

If the rumors about the new iphone are true (cheaper plans, double cpu/ram and 32GB) i will prob get one...

they gotta have some sort of surprise right?

 

[slugg]

I have a fairly reliable source that is telling me that the data plan will be lowered from $30 per month down to $20. AT&T employee. We'll see...

But I'm most interested in Snow Leopard than anything.

 

[leglez]

I'm excited mostly about the new iphone. Mine is pretty rough (cracked screen, scratched to hell. I traded 2 xbox 360 games for it though so couldn't beat it) and I am ready to upgrade, hopefully it is unlockable pretty quick.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

It's mostly going to be announcements with no products actual shipping. Tablet, new iPhone, Snow Leopard. Probably a guest appearance by Steve Jobs himself.

 

[TangoJuliet]

4 new iPhones: 4-32Gb in flavor. Front facing camera, video messaging, OS 3.0 with background running apps.

Definately a guest appearance by Jobs' with ......"and one more thing".

 

[lokiju]

Even though I just got a Sony eBook reader, I kind of hope they'll announce a color e-ink ebook reader today, though I'm sure it's very unlikely.


Also I hope they announce the iPhone being available on other carriers (specifically Verizon).

 

[silverpig]

I'm kind of curious about iPod Touch updates. Camera, GPS?

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I want iPhone 3.0 to come out ASAP, and also want the next refresh of the MacBook (both for personal reasons). I think I will get the former but not the latter, at least at this point . . .

I dunno about that...right now, the white 13" Macbook for $999 benchmarks faster than the Unibody, and you know that Apple won't let that stand for that long, so we'll probably see a speed bump today...

If they are going to update the iPhone every year, they HAVE TO go back to selling them without requiring that you are upgrade eligible (just like the original iPhone).
Eventually they are going to run out of carrier switchers and everyone who wants the latest iPhone is going to have to wait for their upgrade to come around.

Plus I don't want to wait until August when I'm eligible damnit!!

Pre-killer

I don't even care if they don't offer background apps for everything. But I want devs to be able to apply for this. So Pandora, can run in the background.. but Peggle can't, etc... This would be more than sufficient for me. I also want to be able to interact with notifications. For instance, let's say I get an IM/SMS. I can reply back within that notification, if I choose.. this is how BiteSMS works and it's brilliant!

I'm hoping for a new MacBook Pro. A wireless sync capable iPod would be fantastic though.
