Hey, it's Expo week-- you have to expect some final speculation about the Jobs keynote. We realize you're probably sick to death of the whole rumor mill by now, given how much overtime it's been putting in lately, but we promise we'll leave the seriously overdone subject-- the P1-- alone for now. It's (probably) coming, and why speculate when we'll know the real, honest-to-goodness, true-to-life official specs in a few days (we hope)? And we're done wondering about a possible Palm announcement, too; if one is made, than hooray, and if not, then we'll go back to wondering what funky designs and improved technologies an Apple-branded Palm device might bring to the table.

So what's left? Well, there's the whole "Apple ISP" thing, for one; this whole buzz about how Apple's planning to shake the dust of the long-dead eWorld off its shoulders and leap back into the online service fray. It's not all that unlikely, when you see the trend forming in the computer industry whereby customers get vastly-discounted PCs when they sign up for a chunk of Internet service at purchase time. Gateway gives its customers a year's worth of Gateway.net access, we believe. Dell is planning on starting up its own ISP to leverage a similar kind of offer. Micron has the gall to offer a "free PC" that actually costs over a thousand bucks up front; part of the cost is three years' worth of Internet service via Earthlink, according to a CNET article. So it's not crazy to expect Apple to jump on the bandwagon; with iMacs still priced at $1199, tossing in a free year of Internet service might be a great way to sweeten the deal.

Probably the king of speculation on this issue is Robert Morgan. On Friday he posted one MacWEEK article which not only supposed that Apple and Disney might be snuggling up together for the debut of "MyApple.com," but also suggested that the monumental announcement might well come during this Wednesday's keynote. Unfortunately, only a couple of days later he posted a second article downplaying that possibility in light of new information he had received. Oh, well. Whether MyApple.com surfaces or not, at least we'll have the P1 to kick around. Maybe.
