How is it that Britney Spears resting is larger news then a top terrorist being killed? Or even army suicides jumping 20%? What about the gem of the internet failing on two continents? We need to step back and take a look at our values.
I think we will almost definitely see a 16 GB iPhone, there has been some industry speculation on a 32 GB iPhone but I think we aren't there yet. We will more then likely see the push of the 1.1.3 patch which has been public for couple of weeks now on the internet. As far as iPhone 2.0 less then 1% chance, we aren't there yet, check back in 12 months.

With the Mac Pro's and Xserves updated right before the event I think that area will be left untouched, there is a slight chance (10%) of a CTO blue-ray option but I wouldn't hold my breath. The only reason I can see it being delayed is Apple wants to use Macworld as a platform to announce its full support of Blue-Ray.
Moderate chance of iMac speed bump, also the slight chance of Blue-Ray CTO on them.
Macbook Pros although not typically upgraded during Macworld will most likely see a revision. They are long overdue for a form redesign and this might be the time to fit in with the rumored ultra-portable macbook pro.
The ultra-portable laptop will almost certainly be a macbook pro as opposed to a macbook and has a very very high chance of release. The chance of using flash storage as the only HD is very slim still the size doesnt warrant the cost yet. Now using a smaller flash drive to store OS is possible, not going to rule that one out.
I doubt there will be any iPod changes
I doubt there will be any macbook changes
10.5.2 Will be released in the coming weeks, whether they do it at macworld or not is anyone's guess.
iLife and iWork will go untouched, they will continue the trend of not being updated at macworlds.
Displays are due for the some update love but I don't think we are there yet, I figure they would of bumped them at the same time as the towers and xserves.
Macbooks and Mac Minis should be fairly safe from revision for a while still.
The rumor mill has been pretty quite this time around (all things considered) and there was no pre-warning on the Pros or Xserves so the chances of a pre-show leak are slim.
In the end it is anyones guess, I hope I am right but we wont know till the keynote.
