MacWorld San Francisco 2003 Rumors
The event that everyone is waiting for is Steve Jobs' keynote address which has been the traditional announcement event for new product releases. MacWorld SF 2002 brought us the long anticipated LCD iMac.
Recent rumors have been pointing towards both the iMac and eMac lines as potential upgrades. This correlates with the Apple's product cycles... with the most recent updates already to have refreshed the Powerbook (Nov 2002), iBooks (Nov 2002), and PowerMacs (Aug 2002).
The eMac and iMac have seen minor bumps (Superdrive, 17" Screen) over the past year but their last major revisions have been in April 2002 and January 2002, respectively.
Rumors have been floating around for speed bumped iMacs and eMacs. Recent information seems to indicate that Bluetooth will be integrated (at least) with the new iMacs.
While rumors of 19" iMacs were sparked in June by a Digitimes report, also rumored are 19" LCD's themselves. With the 15" LCD discontinued, Apple is in the position to move the product line into 17", 19", 23" tiered products. First rumors of such a move date back to this time last year (2001) from Railheaddesign.com
Beyond this, the most concrete information we have include definite iApp upgrades, a new Apple Application, and new "hardware/feature" -- which may prove to be Bluetooth. Other details are scarce.

I highly doubt that Bluetooth would be it...I think it might be something completely revolutionary (as usual, steve unveiling iBreakthroughs).

I would say Final Cut Pro 4 will not be ready until at least summer 2003 or even longer then that. Many in the industry believe that Final Cut Pro 4 is in the early beta stages.

because maybe there isn;t a lot to expect from this keynote? :(
A new iPod with a color screen and QuickTime playback.
A new app called iVideo which is to movies what iPhoto is to Photos.
A new iMac with built-in Personal Video Recorder, which syncs videos with the new iPod.
iSync 1.0

Bluetooth across the range.
I think we're definitely due for a Digital Device, but who knows?
Anyhoo......here are my pics:
SURE SHOTS -
iMac, eMac upgrades (duh), and a 19" screen
DIGITAL DEVICE -
Who knows? I think a camera, PDA, cellphone, quicktime watcher (color iPod), camcorder, and Tivo-device are all possible
RENDEVOUS-
Say hello to BlueTooth iStereo
AND THE WILDCARD -
The SuperBook....17" screen and 15 pounds of PURE POWER
I don't think we'll see iTablet this time.....but I do think that a detachable iMac screen is a possibility
