MacWorld 09 Keynote 5PM (gmt)

OK so only a couple hours until the MacWorld 09 keynote kicks off. I’ll be following it at macrumorslive.com and on twitter via macrumors.
I’m hoping to see a new mac-mini which will supplant the Apple TV I have sitting in my front room. Other notable rumours:
- MacBook Pro 17″ refresh. Should be moving to unibody design, possibly announcements of quad-core.
- Some kind of merger between Apple TV software and the new mac-mini. Hoping for this one.
- LED Cinema Displays replacing the existing cinema displays.
- Larger form-factor iPod Touch like device. Would be ultra-cool but unlikely in my opinion.
- Refreshes across the MacPro and iMac lines. Potentially quad-core in the iMacs.
- Mini DisplayPort added across the board.
Excited yet?
Slightly disappointing wasn’t it.
Have you tried xbmc or boxee on your atv? That gives it a new lease of life with access to some online streaming services like last.fm and there’s some people working to get iPlayer working, although it wasn’t quite there last time I tried.
