I don't think it will flop....
There are too many mac web writes that will defend the company for it to get too much bad press. My fear is that if this attracts possible big business clients to take a look and nothing is shown that they would want or need, this might backfire on Apple. Same goes for ordinary non Mac consumers. Apple might get the benefit of the doubt if it introduces a ton of new stuff at new prices. A new Powermac, iMac, iBook, iApplication, iHub, and a server. But if they don't go beyond speedbumps then the messege boards will ignite in a blaze of fury!! Even if they come out with cool stuff, who is ready to spend over a thousand dollars/credit on something in January? Even with all I just said, I still don't think I will be angry or disappointed. I am satisfied with whatever they come out with since I can't buy anything until the end of the year.
