How Apple may surprise its fans

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.
