In the air...
Probably incredibly over-optimistic what with the complete lack of any kind of rumors, or more importantly, available technology, but what about some kind Minority Report-style interface. That would be quite exciting. But it's probably just something comparatively dull. Never mind.

tv? just a thought.I feel your pain. But on the bright side the keynote will be done by the time I'm just getting to school. In fact I could probably watch it at school.Afternoon... which probably means earlier than 9PM EST... which means up to 6 hours of waiting after school...
OREGON TIME ZONE RULES. I hope I didn't make you jealous

The technology is here:

"3DV is not alone in offering motion sense technology. A small Californian company, Gesturetek, is also at the show this year to display its prototype, Airpoint, which uses two small cameras to sense the movements of your fingers. It allows surfers to control computers like a touchscreen but without physical contact."
Still pretty unlikely, but more exciting to think about than a thin laptop.
(sorry, not sure how to quote whole posts properly)
(Hmmm, the quote button would probably do it)

But didn't a whole lot of people just buy iPhones for Christmas, so wouldn't they be upset, too, if there were new iPhones unveiled? Methinks the odds are better for new ACDs than iPhones.
Wireless all the way. Wireless for everything. Light as air. Light, thin, small, breathable. Breathable air.
MacBook Air Design?

Looks right on to me -- I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something similar.

It might be so thin you don't need a case for it anymore...
-and you have new way to carry around your laptop!

The only problem is if Apple introduces a slim notebook as a product of it's own instead of replacing the MacBook you can bet they will price it at a HUGE premium.
Don't be surprised to see $1999 for this puppy!! I would buy one if the price is close to a MacBook however (here's hoping I'm really wrong on the big price). My money however is a MacBook replacement entirely. There is no room in Apple's simplified product line for another laptop. A consumer and Pro laptop has worked for them and should stay the same.

I truly hope for a new acd because didn't apple say buy 2008 they will use all led backlight displays by then? I would love to have a led display.
Not really. That front on shot looks awful, and that side-on shot bears more than a passing resemblance to the dell 1330.
I don't buy the teardrop design either. That went out with the clamshell.
All these ideas are amazing...only one thing can be certain.
By this time tommorow...I will be
disappointed

Found what it could be
It's a new Air Port like the :
http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/
with more features like bluetooth, Nas,... combined with a wireless VOIP network similar to Skype but using ichat, VOIP camera phone will be sold seperately and also features media center capabilities.

You know, I'm really starting to wonder if there is something more to this "Air" thing than just a light laptop. Wired reports a wireless machine (implying lack of an ethernet port). OK, so you can use Wi-Fi when available. But it's not available enough (at least open networks).
A few months ago I remember hearing that Teh Steve was meeting with some guy who was setting up some sort of national Wi-Fi sharing network. Could this have something to do with that? Or is it possibly some kind of arrangement with AT&T where it would be like iPhones and tap into the EDGE network or whatever 3G technology they have coming up? Both possibilities sound like potential new revenue streams for Apple, and subscription-based too, as they have been increasingly favoring.

All I could think of when they said teardrop was the clamshell. Honestly, I'd LOVE a clamshell throw back. My tangerine iBook needs a new friend
