Apple is expected to provide holiday sales figures, as well as insight to future hardware/software plans. New pricing or new marketing strategies may also make the object of the conference. Apple isn't expected to make any straightforward assertions, but merely to provide hints of its future plans. A Q&A with Apple execs is also to be had.
While last week it was believed that Steve Jobs would make an appearance at the event, recent news surrounding the CEO's health have lowered our hopes of seeing him attend it, if only for a few minutes.
