All eyes on Apple as Macworld begins

I borrowed the headline from Mercury News, read their full article.

Right on the heels of CES, Apple can steal the thunder from all the gizmos at CES by pulling a surprise out of its hat. Jobs did this last year with the Mac Mini, iPod Shuffle etc. However, this year the chances of something similar happening are considerably less. The media has set huge expectations for Jobs' keynote and even a full fledged movie store with downloadable movies that can be played back with an upgraded Mac Mini / DVR device would not surpise everyone. It would quite a feat but it would be something that has already been predicted. On the other hand, Jobs' is great at keeping new products under the covers till the last minute so you can still expect the unexpected. Just don't expect the obvious, you might be disappointed. :)

For my part, I'd be happy with a widescreen Intel iBook and an Intel Mac Mini with FrontRow. Have fun waiting to see what tomorrow brings!
