MacWorld is a conference that Apple has historically made new announcements at here are the things I predict apple is going to announce. I think the keynote is going to focus primarily on iLife and the upgrades to the computer systems:
iLife ‘09:
NOTE: every iLife update except the last update was done in January. Most rumor sites haven’t predicted iLife updates, I’m going out on a limb with this one!
(90% sure of these features)
-Ability easily to share media across various social media sites
-iMovie will see a massive update - many iMovie6 features will be added like audio/video effects
-Better integration of features with iphone
(possible, but not sure how likely)
-iDVD gains ability to burn BlueRay
iphone:
-rumor sites talk about an iphone “nano” which doesn’t make sense to me product wise unless it’s extremly cheap…
-I haven’t heard anyone with an iphone complain that it was too big
-Banners seem to back up this rumor “Even the small talk will be Big” however these are MacWorld banners not Apple
iphone features:
-.mac photo sync
-several other features to tie into ilife update
-notification feature that was supposed to be released last year to be in next release
-bluetooth keyboard support (they are going to at least need to announce it to deter jailbreaking)
OSX:
-Will probably mention a few new features to expect in snow leopard which will likely get release on or shortly after WWDC
-May release preview of new Safari
-May release preview of Quicktime X
Announce replacement of rest of systems:
-Apple will really go into how “Green” the new line up is, maybe bring up Al Gore
-display ports across the line
-upgraded graphics across the line
-mac pro will sport multiple active GPUs
-xserve will get an update, but won’t be mentioned at the show
-imac will be slimmed down so that it looks just like an LCD screen
-macmini will be much smaller
-new macpro will be called “Fastest PC” or some other statement implying it is faster then the competition
-Apple MAY introduce BlueRay, not sure how likely though
