It would be fun. I’ll give it a 25% chance that Phil will demonstrate a new version of iChat and the he’ll make will be to Steve.

That’s exactly what I think!

I’m fine if he isn’t there. I mean, I like Jobs as much as the next guy/girl, but I like Apple for the products not for the people who work there. It just saddens me that the stock will drop if he isn’t there or when he inevitably leaves Apple.

Steve Jobs will retire while he is in good health.
It is important to do so to dissociate Steve from the company.
So anything is open.

I really hope so. If he doesn’t then like Gregg said, it will definitely indicate health problems. For someone whose spoken at every one so far, not to mention his passion for Mac. It would be absurd for him not to make an appearance in some form. I’d be happy with him giving an interview or answering a few questions. Although if he did make an appearance on stage, that would be great. I just wanna know that el Jobso is alright. Its one thing to cancel Macworld (can’t blame em, way the stock drops) but its another for Jobs not to even show up.

In fact, it would be a significant mistake if he is not there. Many would think it to be proof
positive of deteriorating health. In additional, if he does make some sort of appearance the stock
will surely take another HIT.

absolutely, this has been my thought from the moment i heard that he wasn’t giving the keynote, he will be the “one more thing” if there is no new product release, or if there is a new product release (update mac mini PLEASE!) he will come on stage to introduce it and then turn the show back over to Phil. This is Apples way of bowing out of the Macworld show. The expectation of Macworld product releases is too much pressure to bear and it adversely affects AAPL stock price when a revolutionary product isn’t release at every Macworld. Apple no longer has to schedule product releases around these trade shows. They get enough press now that they can release products as they wish.

It would make the whole announcement complete and would please so so many fans. But I’m not going to keep my hops too high this Tuesday

That is a interesting and not at all unlikely possibility. Bravo!
