Here are a few quick thoughts related to what we might hear and see on Monday.
Focus areas will clearly be: Leopard install base, kudos to developers for creating Leopard apps, iPhone.
While I'm eager to see if the new iPhone has a front side camera, GPS and improved battery life, I'm much more excited about the new line of applications from both Apple and 3rd parties. Apple will certainly add more software functionality. There are many opportunities to improve the experience and from early SDK hints we know these are coming. Search and other features are logical features over time for Apple to provide. The 3rd party market will show the real gems. Apple will do everything in its power to highlight the amazing work 3rd parties have already done to leverage the platform. Breaking out of the web application space to local and more power applications will take the device in all new directions. I would really like to see the iPhone, and touch for that matter, extend the desktop even more. Examples include streaming music and video to the device from my central iTunes library and accessing documents remotely from my Mac desktop.
