Without wanting to repeat myself (or others) : doesn't this look like the most boring Apple event to date ?
As was the case in the last couple of years, it looks like we already know 95% of everything that will be presented today, with just some details left to be filled in. I really want to be surprised, but I guess the globalization and the internet have killed much of the excitement nowadays (as I mentioned in another thread : remember Macworld '07 : now that was excitement and heartfelt emotion). That first page post of BMcCoy really nails it imho.
I find it hard te get excited with the products that are more evolutionary than revolutionary the last couple of years (I hope they dispense with the term "magical" today...) The iPad was the last of that kind, IMO. The
Watch is nice (even nicer than I thought it would be - it has become my primary watch which I hadn't expected), but at the same time it is hardly revolutionary. It is something that the others already did, but a little nicer and better executed, at least for now. Today we'll get a new Phone, a larger iPad, a new set top box and some watch bands and colors. Wow... hardly. I wish and hope I'm wrong and there's more to it, which would make me VERY excited indeed 
.
PS: kinda disappointed in the "no new iPad air" rumor, as my iPad 3 gets old and scratchy and really want to replace it, but it feels just wrong to replace it with 1 year old tech. Unless it gets a healthy price reduction (not much hope on that I'm afraid).
PPS: doubly disappointed in the no new Macs rumors. Not that I expect them to introduce anything Mac-related on this event, but what about an update for the Mac Pro ??? Or at least an indication that it's coming soon !
