Apple announced updates to the Mac Pro and the Xserve. That's odd to do just before a MacWorld, isn't it? I've seen rumors of stuff that may be announced at MW, and some of it I like, like the Mac Nano, if the price is accessible. Anyone got ideas for what couple possibly get Apple to put out a product generation update a week before its own major conference?

... product spec update ...
They announced the updates because Intel announced new CPUs at CES. Apple's just trying to keep up.
Yeah, there have been a huge list of new systems from HP, etc. I think it is a tad odd that they do it when they have a "captive" (or captivated
) audience of their very own in a week though.
Being that Apple is now a "consumer electronics" company, and not a computer company - I'm expecting non mac announcements at MacWorld.
Here are my safe bets for MWSF 2008
- Rev 2 iPhone - Still locked to ATT, 3G, 8 & 16gb capacity models, price cut. Same enclosure and form factor.
- Apple TV update - maybe a bigger hard drive, better remote/interface
A small form factor professional laptop (ala PowerBook Duo and 12" PBG4) would be nice, but I doubt that Apple would make such a product. The continual rumor of Apple making a handheld replacement for the newton is going to go strong, but nothing will ever come of it.
