You've got iPod, iBook and Mac Mini to pick from, or else somthing totally out of left field. Or else some lame iBlah software package or update. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the new iBook.
My guess is it will be the regular MacBook, plus perhaps the expansion of the MacBook Pro line to include the 17", and maybe even a full desktop replacement 20" model. That would be awesome. The 12" will only see the light as a regular MacBook model.

The mini is going to be updated for sure (confirmed). Im not sure about the tablet, or the ibook (would be nice). Im am fairly sure that the new ipod will come to light though. I cant wait to see whats new! Its always exciting.
ipod - maybe, but i doubt it will be called an "ipod" maybe a new brand like vpod or something. calling it an ipod subconciously puts it in the same realm as the music device, even if thats not what its meant for, introducing a new thing under the ipod name is dangerous, it would make people feel like they can never stay up on the times, the "old" ipod come out 4 months ago.
ilife - doubt it. they have all the apps one uses in daily life, plus introducing it now as opposed to a month ago when the ilife 06 package came out would be bad business
i want the new ibooks to come out. i want the base size to be the rumored 13.3 inch widescreen, and that to be the one at the 999 price point. if thats the case, i might have to sell my late 05 14" ibook for a new one, i hate being behind. heres to going broke by being on the bleeding edge of tech.
i do believe apple will align themselves with sony or nintendo to conquer the living room. it makes sense. MS is doing well in the living room and connecting the household computers in the same ways apple would like to as well. Remember how sony ceo was on stage with steve not TOO LONG ago.
I think the word 'fun' means we can pretty much rule out new Macs. My bet for tuesday is the much rumoured Airport Video Express. Or at a stretch, the new video iPod.
The timing of this event seems odd. I was expecting them to save everything for April 1st.
There has been much hype about tablet Macs and all the touch/gesture screen patents etc that might be included with a tablet Mac, or possibly a video iPod. Oddly, I have seen next to no speculation on the possible release, specs or even existence of a 30th Anniversary Macintosh.......
what would this 30th anniversary mac be like though? i think it would be nice if they made a limited edition mac mini media center that had Steve's signature, or something. that would be kinda cool.

A new Mac Mini Media Center isnt fun? Hmmm. What is fun? Is an ipod fun? There is speculation about Apple buying Nintendo and Blockbuster and other failing companies. I seriously doubt that at this time. Games are fun. Could be games? Who knows. My Powermac is fun.
Ok, Here is what I see: A snow white VW Beetle with an apple logo on the front, Built in Mini with a touch screen, and run by a Fuel Cell. Oh and it will sell for $30,000
