It's pretty possible now that a 10" LED display 120GB flash drive ultraportable MacBook Pro might be released at WWDC. It will put these "waiting for an Apple ultraportable" threads to rest.
Got a tip for us?

Must be Fake
programmable keyboard, flash drive, new size laptop?
i think it is too much at a time, how will this keyboard work with current tiger - this may be a reality with leopard but i doubt it now.
Also wouldn't a 120gb flash drive cost hundreds - on OCUK a 32gb solid state drive is over £300 inc. VAT.
this thing would cost way over a grand and it's only 10".

It's not that difficult to make your own slide, play it, and take a picture w/ your crappy cellphone.
Lol, a pretty good spy shot.
I'll believe it when I see it at WWDC.
Can monday come any sooner?!

I'm not making claims either way, but to answer that question...
Optimus Keyboard:

Wanted to add there is a certain well known image editors tag embedded in the file which helps seal the deal that this is a not so well done fake. And you could also get a nice raid setup of 15 8GB flash modules to make a super fas 120gb drive just for fun :-0.
Possible fake yes... but it says FLASH BASED DRIVE, and you can get them..

Fake
10'' LED Widescreen... hmm - but it wouldn't be an LED, it would be TFT-LCD with LED backlighting, and from how apple talks about this for the MBP - it's almost a foot-note.
In addition to everything else mentioned previously...
How often does SJ use a 'standard features' slide - without the product name... Seems to me a list of the features would be one thing... but I would think (and let me tell you this is based on only my vague recollections of past keynotes - this is so obviously fake I'm not going to go watch an old keynote just to compare) he would not waste the real-estate on the 'heading' just hit the things that are truly features (as opposed to jokes... C2D a 'feature' to highlight - when he could be talking about ZFS...

64GB flash drive barely exist. 120GB is a fantasy and if by chance one did exist, it would make this thing more expensive than the 17". This is a fake.
Programmable LCD (eh?) keyboard and 120GB flash on a 10" ultraportable... C'mon people... 
moving on...
moving on...
So, do these crazy specs mean that in the extremely unlikely event that they are true, that Apple has made a gigantic innovation?
120 GB SSD? Possible for 4Q 2007 but still expensive at this date. That mean for premium products.
10" LED wide screen? Samsung make a 10.6" wide screen. Sony uses LED backlite for is next UMPC. Moreovre, 10 inches Core2Duo subnotebooks already exist.
Programmable LCD keyboard? Already exist. Patented by some companies. Nothing new.
3G/HSPDA? That mean that thing is a subnotebook or a UMPC
I think this spyshot is real. So, on Monday many of you guys should be ridiculous

They wouldn't. But I wonder if some roadies might've put up a nonsense slide like this while focussing the projector, just for kicks. And if anyone takes the bait and convinces a major publication to believe the "rumor", well that's just more fun.
My feeling as well. Assuming it's not a fake.
Which is a big assumption. The stage doesn't look much like what I've seen of the Moscone Center stage - the picture was probably taken elsewhere. On the other hand, I don't know how much the stage's appearence changes after it is dressed and lit with the road-cases pur away.
I call your whole damn post FAKE...
Widescreen has Nothing to do with the size, nothing at all. You can do a widescreen that is 4" or even 1" if you so please.
It's the proportions of the screen that counts.
It's pretty sad how fake this is. For kicks I replicated it in about 10 seconds using a default Keynote theme but don't really have the time to go put this up in an empty lecture hall on campus and go find someone with a Nokia 6233 to take a picture with.
