Ok, my Apple Predictions post from earlier this morning, needs a little revision. I just talked to some of my sources…
It looks like all we’ll really see out of Apple at MWSF is some softare updates, maybe an iApp bundle (that they’re actually going to charge money for) and an upgrade to Airport (think 802.11g or some other flavor).
No hardware updates, no new monitors, no new iMacs, iBooks or anything else of real substance. The word is that Apple might come out with some of these things later in the quarter, but not at MacWorld San Francisco.
The reasons I’ve been given focus around the fact that there’s just too much inventory in the channels for Apple to introduce anything right now that’ll overshadow what’s currently in the market.
Sorry…
That would explain why Apple skipped its usual year-end fire sale to developers.
What about the rumored rackmountable RAID I’ve heard about? It wouldn’t overshadow any current products and would complement the xServe.

I just posted my thoughts on the MWSF keynote…I think we’ll see some interesting things with Rendezvous.
Oh, and new iPods too
