Revamped Apple TV and/or Apple Cinema Displays
The company's "digital adapter" hasn't made inroads with consumers yet. The device, which connects computer networks with in-home entertainment systems, is designed to fling digital videos from your hard drive up onto big-screen TVs—or even just play digital music through stereo speakers. With all this talk about movie rentals, high definition, "something in the air," and now fully green, LED-backlit LCD screens, expect a potentially major audiovisual foray into the living room.

A Mac Tablet
This would be a totally new product, but one that's been swirling through the rumor mill for years. Think of it as a giant iPod touch: a flat, portable touchscreen device running on some modified version of the Leopard operating system and powered by Intel. Given the public's lack of demonstrated demand for such a product, however, many analysts remain skeptical. Then again, we didn't know we wanted iPods before we had them.

"One More Thing…"
The company has been typically ruthless when it comes to keeping secrets this year. Just last month it (somewhat heavy-handedly) had a popular rumor site called ThinkSecret shut down  for publishing, well, leaked secrets. So chances are pretty good that Jobs has some well-concealed announcement up his sleeve for Tuesday's Stevenote—he usually saves the sexiest stuff for last.
