Well MacWorld 2009 is coming up here soon and that means new announcements from Apple! There are a lot of things that we would love to see there and things that just don’t need to surface! Here are a few ideas of what I think will makes its way from Apple.
MacMini: Redesign. They stopped shipping to retailers in October so its a good chance for a new design of the Mini.
Cinema Displays: The 30″ is long over due for a upgrade. The new looks and LED backlighting is needed
MacPro: Just some hardware updates for the MacPro would be nice. Its been a LONG time sense an update for that.
HomeServer?: I read an article that talked about a supercharged TimeCapsule for housing media and linkable to MobileMe.

What do you guys think will be released at MacWorld 2009? Also will it actually be the last one for Apple attend? Leave your comments!
