MacWorld 2009 starts 1/6/09

MacWorld 2009 starts tomorrow. We’ll keep you up-to-date on all of the announcements. We’ll send out a MacMedics newsletter with the highlights (not on our list? Sign up here!). You can also tune into Twitter at: http://www.twitter.com/macmedics.
There are a few rumors flying around about what might be announced, but so far it does not look like anyone has really credible evidence that something incredible is coming out. The rumor mill is talking about the Mac Mini it might stay and get a needed refresh, or it might go away. Also swirling in the mist is talk of a NetBook, a super low cost Mac notebook designed to go head to head with the $400 PC laptops. There could be an iPod refresh or new models released, but so far nothing has been confirmed.
If you’re into MacWorld rumors, this blog has a set that I pretty much agree with: http://tinyurl.com/8zbjdb
Steve Jobs is not giving the keynote this year, instead it will be Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. This will also be the last year that Apple will attend the MacWorld Expo.
