An Intel Apple?
Perhaps the most compelling buzz surrounding the upcoming show, however, is the possibility that Apple might move its platform from the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) PowerPC chip to Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) chips. Although Enderle does not expect Jobs will surprise attendees with such an announcement, switching to Intel could transform Apple's position in the marketplace by removing the cost disadvantages it presently faces relative to other PC makers.
It seems like a pretty slim chance, but the the whole OSX migration by Apple it's a feasible possibility that would really shake things up. Considering how hyped up Apple seems to be about things (more so than usual) the announcement of a LCD iMac or a PDA just doesnt seem deserving, there could be something more.
