2011 they will definitely put Sandybridge CPU into the 13". If they need a dedicated GPU than they will redesign it in a way that it fits this extra GPU.
Sandybridge according to early demos will significantly improve power efficiency and performance over the current Arrendale and I doubt Apple can still stick to the C2D.
There will also never be an improvement on the 320M as this one was still in development and Nvidia had it ready but they officially stopped designing any new chipsets before the release of 320M.
16:9 is indeed a bad choice for small screens but the glass in front of the panel (as HP introduced it before Apple) is also a stupid choice. They will probably go with mainstream and redesign the whole case with 16:9 in mind.
On big screens 16:9 is okay but anything below 17" sucks on 16:9 for portability.
The only question is if they introduce new sizes. If the current 13" ends up becoming a 13,3" it will effectively be as useful as some 16:10 12.1". Thus they might introduce a 14,1" as a real replacement for the 13".
