Macworld 2008 starts today, with Steve Jobs giving his keynote later this afternoon. After last years announcement of the iPhone, everyone is wondering how Apple will top that. My guess is they won't. However, a couple of interesting things have happened so far. At CES this year Apple made the following product announcements:

  • 8 Core Mac Pro
  • 8 Core Xserve
Weird, why is Apple announcing products prior to Macworld? And then the mysterious "There's something in the air" billboards started springing up around the Moscone center (where Macworld takes place) early last week leading to mass speculation. Right now my bet is that Apple announces a slim line laptop with 3G net connectivity (perhaps partnered again with AT&T, perhaps not). And when I say slim, I mean like under half an inch. Almost a bigger version of the iPhone as opposed to a smaller version of the MacBook.

As to other announcements, who knows? But like I said, my bets on the sub-compact notebook.
