I think people are overly optimistic about the chances of new hardware being released at WWDC. Since it has already been announced (link, anyone?), we are sure to get a demo of Leopard. But I can't see anything other than a successor to the Power Mac G5 being released.
Why? Maybe, just maybe they will release an iMac with Conroe but anything with Merom will have to wait until the end of August at the earliest, which Intel has indicated is the earliest that we will see notebooks with Merom. Some people have claimed that "Apple is now playing with the big boys" but it just isn't realistic to believe that Apple will be getting these processors a full month before anyone else. Apple may be a mid-size but possibly prestigious client for Intel. But Intel will not want to antagonize all its other clients.

Are you from [H]ard|OCP Forums?? I somehow doubt bluray, although it could be a CTO/BTO option...it's just too expensive. That said, Apple are the early adopters of new technology. Also, Steve Jobs thinks highly of Sony... when he addressed and made a tribute to the founder of Sony when he died. He did this before a Keynote, so who knows. It would certainly give Sony a definitive 'first-blood' into the market. With 10,000's of units going out having sold so many computers with Bluray it would almost make Bluray the defacto standard overnight?
Coincidence
Does anyone think it is just a coincidence that the day the edu-free-ipod offer ends on September 16th the last day of the Apple Paris Expo? Or do you think Steve was like "I want all those blasted things out of my sight by the time I get back from Paris..."?
Another coincidnece: WWDC pushed back, Merom release early?
