There's no reason for a digital camera to have a 5 gig drive unless it did video. I doubt most digital camera users have anything more than a 128mb card in their cameras (I have a 256mb card and I can take 120+ pics at 4 Mpxls).
But I do like your thinking in terms of a new model of the iPod. There were rumors a while ago about Apple testing out 5+ types of digital hub gizmos.
My predictions:
1. PowerMac G4 1.4ghz with DDR ram and brand spanking new tower case! A new tower design would be a big deal, even if 1.4ghz and DDR doesn't impress people.
2. iMac upgraded to 1 ghz, but NO 17" LCD. If anything, I think they'll try to lower their prices (not raise them to accomodate a 17" LCD) so that the iMac is more competitive with the eMac which most people seems to think is the better buy.
3. A new iPod. No idea what exactly this might be. But I doubt a Tivo-like device for some reason. I just don't see Apple getting into the TV market. If anything, a portable mpeg 4 player.
4. Some sort of update to the LCD line. I've heard that the LCD supply is stabilizing. They've had the existing lineup forever, it seems. My guess would be a price cut across the line. I would LOVE to see Apple do a 19" LCD for under a grand, but that's probably just a fantasy at this point.
5. Another preview of Jaguar and QT6 with more definitive plans and dates.
That seems like a pretty full keynote to me. I seems like Apple has made updates and new announcements on just about every other front.
