Over the last few days, Apple’s website has been making some bold statements about what is coming up for MacWorld next week.

Monday: “This one is big. Even by our standards.”

Tuesday: “Count the days. Count the minutes. Count on being blown away.”

Today: “Beyond the rumor sites. Way beyond.”

This last claim is interesting as the rumor sites have been talking about some pretty far out stuff over the last few months — and then have mostly gone curiously quiet.

As much as I am trying to resist getting worked up over this, I find myself looking forward to next Monday in much the same way that my little nieces and nephews look forward to Christmas every year.

So, what’s coming? At this point it’s anybody’s guess. I just hope that it’s big enough to justify this amount of hype from Apple. After all, there were lots of disappointed people at last year’s MacWorld New York. Apple can’t afford to make these kind of statements without having a bold set of product introductions.

So, if it’s beyond the rumor sites, it’s got to be something good. What do you think is coming?
