° An iPad/iTablet/iSlate. By now you have to know that this is an Apple tablet product -- and perhaps the most-covered-by-the-press, not-even-confirmed product in history. Will it happen? Certainly. And if not the world will go dark, and life as we know it will end.
° iLife 2010, the next version of the suite that includes iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, iWeb and GarageBand. I think we'll see this unveiled, as well as a new version of iTunes, with some iPad specific features.
° The next version of Aperture, Apple's software for professional photographers. I give this a 50/50 chance. It's coming soon, but I don't know if it fits in with the overall theme of the Jan. 27 event.
° Apple's announcement of the end of its iPhone exclusive contract in the US with AT&T. I've also giving this one a 50/50 chance. That announcement is also coming, but I think it will merit its own special event -- one that will include the roll-out of new iPhones, as well.
° New laptops. Nope. Won't happen. Not tomorrow.
Of course, there'll be various and sundry announcements related to the iPad/iTablet/iSlate. Speaking of which, in this column tomorrow, I'll round up all the bazillion predictions on what the device will feature, so you'll have a handy reference in time for the "Come see our new creation" event.
