Apple rumours are back in currency. As the annual tech trade event Macworld gets underway in San Francisco on Tuesday, the tech giant may yet again take its fans by a surprise.
Earlier, Apple had shocked the tech world saying its chief executive Steve Jobs will, for the first time in many years, not deliver the keynote address at Macworld show, reviving many investors' concerns about the state of his health and putting the company's shares in doldrums.
And this year being Apple's last year of participation at the show, the company claims that trade shows are now a "minor" way it reaches to its customers.
Last year, Apple shook the world with a flurry of launches, including the 3G iPhone; a refreshed line of iPods; and its lightest-ever laptop, MacBook Air. So what next this year? Will Apple bow out of MacWorld with a bang?
Here's digging into the rumour mills and speculating upon the big announcements one can expect from Apple this Macworld.

Fear is the key: Pakistanis rush to buy firearms
NEW YORK: Middle class Pakistanis in scores are now procuring guns and other arms to protect themselves, as a surge in Islamist violence has led
to fears that the country may be headed for a wave of violent kidnappings, extortions and other crimes.
Registrations of guns and rifles have recorded a new high, Wall Street Journal reported quoting officials who attributed this trend to rising sense of anxiety, fear and insecurity among the people, who now seeks arms for protection.
This has come in vogue among the middle-class people who foresee a wave of violent kidnappings and robberies that will target those who look like they might have money. These fears have been generated as over the past year, Pakistan has witnessed the assassination of popular political leader Benazir Bhutto and bloody bombing of Islamabad's Marriott Hotel.
The recent terror strikes in Mumbai, allegedly carried out by 10 Pakistani militants trained here, has further frayed the nerves of the people here.
"The spreading Islamist insurgency in the country has led to a wave of insecurity, and people doubt the ability of the new civilian government to safeguard them," paper said. "People buy weapons because they're insecure," a senior interior ministry official told the paper. "No need denying it."
The 11,758 murders recorded in the first 11 months of 2008 were the highest in Pakistan in at least in a decade, it said quoting Islamabad police, who compile nationwide crime statistics. Arms licenses are issued by numerous Pakistani agencies. Local authorities and police hand out permits for weapons that can be used only within their states.
