I wish I had more knowledge developing for the Mac and iPhone so I could go and have some fun!
I'm still learning C & Objective C

As opposed to the other pictures of unreleased products?
And to all those who say no tablet, read the above comment
Not Really That Expensive
My wife organizes conferences for a large tech company and we discussed the cost recently. She explained that these events are very expensive to put on and Companies just try to break even on them. So 5 days for $1295 is pretty good value.
I expect:
iPhone 3.0 software released
A new iPhone model being announced for shipment in Q4
The release data of Snow Leopard being announced.
Maybe a new Apple TV?

I'm about to get a day's worth from the phone and I use it heavily for browsing, texting, calls, various apps, what must you guys be doing on your phones?
Hidden secret fourth panel!!!
With all this talk about secret messages in the iPhone image, I had to download the whole thing and there's a hidden fourth panel!
I knew it! Steve Jobs was part of the Dharma Initiative. The new iPhone is going to require the user to press the home button every 108 minutes.

The invitation makes it look like the iPhone will again take center stage. This makes me a bit sad, I was hoping for Snow Leopard to make the news to promote OS X. More and more it looks like Apple is turning into a company that specializes in portable consumer electronics.
P-Worm
Well seeing as how any industry expert will tell you that personal, mobile computers are the future and where you'll see most developments, that makes perfect sense. Just a couple months ago laptops outsold their desktop counterparts for the first time and when iPhone-sized devices get a little faster they'll be able to offer most of the functionality that the average user desires from a computer.
I love it because Apple mucked up their first attempt by not marketing the Mac well enough to developers and letting Windows dominate the scene for 20 years and it's like they get a second chance now. The way things are going I can't imagine any other company having the ability to take over the mobile market like Apple does with the iPhone.
Anyways...
I'm sure it's just the pessimist inside, but I have this sneaking suspicion that they won't give us a new iPhone at this event, or even worse, just offer a minor upgrade to the aesthetics and a bump in storage. I hope they realize how many people are expecting an amazing new iPhone and squash any hopes for one if they don't plan on releasing it. I just want something to not only take the wind out of the Palm Pre's sails, (which I think a 3G with 3.0 does anyways) but really rip them down and set fire to them.
Being one of the more prominent Apple news/rumour sites, MR is somewhat subject to the activities of Stockholm-Syndrome-suffering Wintrolls.
Battery
I think Apple does a good job on Battery life all in all. Remember its a balance between the current battery technology available, what the device does and its size. It will always be this way becuase as batteries get better but people demand more.
Also remember you can turn off Location Based Services and 3G to save power.

The way I figure, Apple needs to release a new product this summer. Peoplle who originally bought the 1gen and didn't upgrade to 3g (me) have our contracts expiring in June/July.
I'm hoping for a new model this summer otherwise I'm probably going to start looking into other options because I really see no benefit to "upgrading" to the 3g. I upgraded and tried it out for two weeks when it came out and it just felt like a waste of an upgrade.

MAKE

MARK
HERE
I can't wait for the new OS to come out so people will quit getting giggly about it.
Then we get a new level of expectation with 18 months of squee.
Or maybe you could have Phil come on stage and start the keynote, only to have Steve leap from off stage and fly-kick him, then proclaim "Im back bitches!"
At least there would be no more rumours about his health.
Awesome
I guess the price could be judged at negative for some people...
Steve is gonna leap on stage looking like a giant. A barbarian. Completely ripped. Biceps like tree trunks. He won't say a word. He'll just stand on the edge of the stage flexing. Neck veins the size of Cuban cigars.
Well, at least we would get some kind of announcement, I could hold out till Q4 as long as I knew for sure it was coming.

PROS
WWDC
the elusive iProd
I was gonna hit on this subject a little as well. With as many people here that are SO sure there will be a new iPhone announced this WWDC (myself included) Man OH MAN, do I forsee A HUGE amount of bitching headed our way if they don't. In fact if they do not announce anything new I may not check in for a couple days to let all that sift out a bit. Oh and I'll be picking up a new 3G the next day, so I'm really excited either way, I'm just glad I've held off juuuust in case.
