1. iTV will be a super FrontRow device. An iPod for video. The main program (iTunes upgrade or standalone) and horsepower will sit on a server, and will run on Macs or PCs. Maybe just a big iTunes upgrade. It will turn your TV into an entertainment portal to your computer media. Beautiful visualizers running in music mode. Video from DVDs or files such as downloaded movies. There will be a connection with TiVO to access the files on their DVR, but with the iTV interface. You will be able to get media from your server or TiVO.
2. Major Leopard presentation. There will be at least one "I've got to have that" that hasn't been seen yet... the thing that will drive Mac users to upgrade. (now that Vista is out... heh.) This was Dashboard for a lot of folks with Tiger.
3. iLife 07 is a no brainer. Evolutionary changes to iPhoto with tighter ties to Front Row and iTV. Multiple libraries. New edit features. Similar for iMovie and iDVD.
4. Dual Quad Mac Pro announced.
5. New displays with iSight. New USB iSight.
6. Evolutionary changes to 'books and iMacs.
7. No iPhone. But will announce it like iTV was announced. It will be remote iChat, using Mac OS over 3G cellular networks. The first portable video phone.
8. No iMacish expandable Mac Pro box.
9. Ship date for CS3 will be announced. Avid for Mac updates trumpeted. The software word will be, the Mac is Back. Lots of interest as the Mac platform is growing. Millions of users, most sophisticated users not just email and web.
