My guesses (it's not rocket science just think of anything mentioned at a Tech show like comdex er whatever):
? PCI Express
? A x86-64 OS from Microslop
? DDR II, DDR400, 433, 466, 500, etc...etc....
? New CPU sockets
? New power saving stuff
? OLED
? SATA II (SATA300)
? Serial Attached SCSI (SaS)
? Centrino II (er whatever they're gonna call it)
? CPUs that disipate 100+w
? More multicore/multichip CPU/GPU solutions
? More gfx cards to support standards (like DX 10 er whatever) that isn't even out and/or in use at the time when the card is released (let alone the forseeable future)
? Better GFX processors for Laptops, PDAs, Phones
? Transmeta will release a 2GHz part
? SFF (MiniITX) will continue to be kewl but NanoATX (NanoITX....whatever it's called) will start to grow and be even kewler
? More Audio devices with compact HDs
? More audio devices with OGG and/or ATRAC (Sony is pushing more and more) support
? More wireless enabled or enabling audio/media devices (like:

? Do I have to keep going, it's not as if any of this is suprising it's just more of the same trends we've seen over the past 5, 10, 15, 20 years......
