MacWorld SF...what to expect?

We've all heard various rumors about what may come to be at MacWorld SF. So far I've heard about:
*New iMac (possibly 19inch) and eMac models
*New iPod
*New iApp(s) (And possible upgrades to already exsiting iApps; e.i.: iTunes)
*Possibly a new processor (an upgraded G4?)
All this and along with some other tidbits of info. Has anyone else heard of whats to come or may come?

the new PowerPC (PPC 7457) processor is unlikely to make an entrance AT MWSF. We'll probably see the PowerMacs updated a month after the show. iMacs/eMacs will probably still use the 'normal' G4 PPC 7455.

interesting..

heres a quote from looprumors.com (great site) that looks fun -
"12/23 – Just a little food for thought…Apple has been very tightlipped about their plans for the upcoming Macworld Expo. Being secretive is par for the course when it comes to Apple announcing new products, but this January, something’s cooking. There are several signs of a higher level of security than in Expos past. First and most important - Apple was adamant about participating in the January event, even though they have not committed to any future participation with Expo producer IDG. Apple needs a forum of this magnitude if they plan to make any substantial announcement. We’ve heard that the word around Infinite Loop is that nothing leaks this time - nothing. And we know that at last year’s introduction of the flat panel iMac, Steve Jobs criticized organizer’s poor planning for allowing Time magazine to ‘steal the bang’ from his keynote by distributing copies of the magazine sporting the new iMac on its cover - before it was introduced. Finally, we know that Jobs is well overdue for another innovative, groundbreaking announcement."
i want an iPhone!

So something great is gonna come out. Something no rumor site or source can give us. Something so big and grand that Jobs will not allow even a single drop of info to leak. Heh, I wonder what it is? Maybe they (Apple) have a new processor, I mean something no one was expecting at all. Or maybe they'll release Mac OS X for wintel computers....hmm........I remember reading somewhere that Apple was looking into it, but that was supposed to be when Microsoft introduced that Palludium or whatever that crap is (something about limiting users)...

Steve Wozniak wil also be at the keynote. Maybe it has something to do with the iPhone rumors? Because of Woz's new company www.woz.com ???

WOZ.com will 'help everyday people finding everyday things'. i wonder when the 'undo' command will make it into the human brain. i want to spill milk on the floor and hit a big undo-button on my forehead, and 'wooosh!' - the milk's back in the bottle.

(have you ever hit apple-f when a friend of yours asked where the tv-remote was?)

I reckon it's time for a new iMac and iPod. (With colour and features and stuff)

It's time for a G4 iBook but it's not very likely since they just brought out the new iBooks. I'd like to see the new processor (whichever) this year but I don't think it will come at SF 'cause the new PMacs just came (well sortof).

It's probably time for new iMovie (it's been around for a long time) and a new iTunes. (Mp4)

Oh and it's time for a new Airport on one of the new protocols 802.11a??or g???
