Oh boy. New Air? Verizon iPhone? Jobs grows a huge beard? Probably not. Apple wants to talk about "what's new for the Mac," which could mean some hardware -- but the company definitely wants to talk software too. See that lion sneaking around behind the logo? Apple is bringing the media out to Cupertino to discuss (amongst other things) the next version of OS X. That's right -- a non-mobile product. If you think it's too early for 10.7, don't worry -- last time we did this dance, the company previewed Snow Leopard about a year before it hit your screens. The whole thing goes down at 10AM PT on October 20th, and we'll be covering the news live! Stay tuned.

New Macbook Air, a look at OS X Lion, iWork/iLife integration with the cloud and OS X Lion for seamless syncing. I doubt they'll mention anything to do with the iPhone, if they do it will only be announcing its coming to Verizon. I think they'll do that at a different even though.
 
Back to Mac so nothing to do with iPhone/iPad - thank the Goddess.

OS X (I wish it was OS XI)
iLife
MacBook Air and a couple other Mac hardware refreshes.

That's it. Seeing as it is at Apple HQ I'm not expecting Earth shattering announcements.

I think the idea that Lion will be compatible with Facetime is a no-brainer.

Adding touch-screen controls to a mac would be interesting, but I think we probably wont see that this time round.
