WWDC 2007. thoughts? guesses?

What do we reckon could happen at WWDC, besides Leopard? any surprises? what could happen with the secret 'hidden' features of the next stage in our OS? new computers? new product lines? will they release anything groundbreaking? any speed-bumps? new equipment? will steve do the whole keynote this time?

general thoughts...

MacBook Thin. Solid state disk (i.e. flash memory). 10" screen. Horribly expensive, probably. :P

You wish, Fryke. You've been wanting that sub-notebook forever.

And still the rumour sites all keep continuing about it year after year. Plus: I just want to say I called it here in this thread should it really surface.

PGTips is on a distinguished road
A modern version of Xcode with a code folding, refactoring, syntax checking as you type (think of red squigly lines in Word when you spell things wrong), function hints with summary as you type. This is 2007, it's about time Xcode started to act like it was the 21st century and not behave like VS 6 which was released 10 years ago.

Which is exactly what happened with iPhone - and many people kept on dismissing the idea, even the morning of the keynote!

Yep. Then again, it could still take years of rumouring it. Well, now that the iPhone's here (almost), we at least don't hear much about the Newton anymore, since the iPhone is pretty much what a Newton of today would/should be (minus some 3rd party apps, of course, which might change today).

I was thinking that too. It would be nice if Apple did a deal with a company like TomTom (or something really amazing with Google maps) for sat nav. That would mean I could be truly one-device, which would be cool.

And 3G for us folks here in Europe.

Wonder if the European carrier for iPhone will be announced? That would be nice too.
