It's THAT time of the year... again. The 2008 edition of MacWorld San Francisco Expo is approaching fast (from January 15th to 18th), and it should be a great vintage. Last year we got the iPhone and it sure stormed the Mac and cellphone worlds. This year, the rumor mill is abuzz with predictions of a version 2 iPhone (3G anyone?) along with the long awaited iPhone SDK (well, that's not really a rumor anymore), a subnotebook-style MacBook, new MacBook Pros and Mac Pros, as well as new displays (long overdue). Some even think that Apple will unveil some sort of multitouch-enabled desktop Mac and/or dockable laptop (see our news about an Apple patent): this one seems a bit far fetched, but, hey!, Apple has a long history of surprising us by announcing way more - or less - than everybody hoped for. And, of course, everyone is holding their breath (or not) to know what will happen with Jobs' so-called "hobby": the AppleTV. One thing is sure: it should be an interesting Expo, and there's one fact that strongly hints at this: Apple has invited the European media to a live broadcast of the Keynote session, in the BBC TV Studios. If I remember well, last year's Keynote didn't get the satellite treatment, so... The Keynote will take place on January 15th, from 9 to 10:30am PST, so mark this down in iCal to be sure not to miss the appointment. And because Hardmac/Macbidouille really is all about the Mac and all things Apple (as long as they can be tinkered with and hacked away...), we'll have someone from the team on site, coming all the way from France for the Expo: me! I'll try to get as much intel as I can while on the show floor, posting live updates from my iPhone and my reliable MacBook Pro (as long as there's some wifi available, I don't plan to be one of these people doing the headlines about "monstrous EDGE roaming bills"). Macbidouille will try and secure me a pass to the Keynote, but there's absolutely nothing certain there even if we'll do our best. So, if you have any questions you would like answered or things you want me to investigate during the Expo, head over to the forums by way of the "Add your comment" link below and let me know. And stay tuned for our pre-Expo posts and live keynote coverage...
