I think Tim Cook is fine, but I hope sometime in the future that Ive will be a part of launches. Why not? He's the guy designing the stuff and he's usually in the launch videos. Why not put him up there to at least reveal the new hardware? Scott Foresthall (sp?) is another good one--he is just as passionate about the product as Steve Jobs was.
Tim Cook should be up there as the numbers guy because he's the CEO and he's running the ship. But he should be up there for a minimal amount of time. Let the guys making the products present the products.

Phil Schiller, as usual.
Phil Schiller always introduced new hardware when Steve wasn't available (like with the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4S).

Phil - although I'm sure Tim will kick things off. Wonder if he will do the "one more thing" too?
I would cry too because it would say to the world that Apple can't move past Jobs. I wouldn't count on this happening. In fact, I bet Jobs isn't even mentioned.
I bet that they'll mention him, but I think that the odds of there being a Jobs' video of the presentation to be almost nonexistent.
I could see them putting him in the introduction video where Johnny Ive talks about design and build and stuff. That would be just the right level of tribute, and would get a huge round of applause.
Tim Cook for the intro, Phil Schiller for the hardware, and Scott Forestall for 5.1.
I actually like Tim Cook as a presenter

Other - Steve Jobs, he's not really dead.
I'd love to see the applause if he just showed up perfectly happy looking with the "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" slide.
The SEC might have something to say though.
Steve Jobs, back from the dead
If only it were that easy.
I think it'll be Tim - it will be his first chance to be front and centre of a major product announcement (Steve's poor health really hung over the 4S event)
A Steve tribute sounds great on paper, but the truth is that Apple really has to nail this keynote. Tim and Co. need to prove that they can deliver without Steve. My guess is that it will be all business (no Steve mention at all).
