There’s Something in the Air

The interwebs are all atwitter with news of a big MacWorld banner spotted at the Moscone Center. It says “There’s Something in the Air”. Let the speculation begin.

My guess:

Internal 3G cards on MacBook Pro laptops (and maybe MacBooks). Of course, these will be HSDPA chips for the AT&T network.

If there is a media tablet (iNewton) or a subnotebook, the internal 3G will also be a big part.

There might be an announcement of a 3G iPhone, but I seriously doubt it. If there is, I may return my Blackberry Curve (but then again, I might not since I love this keyboard).

(No points for knowing about the movie rentals in iTunes ahead of time)

Update: Techmeme discussion where others are starting to say it will be WiMax. I am a fan of WiMax, but I don’t think this will happen. There is no way Apple would roll this out unless they were absolutely sure that Sprint was going to be able to get the WiMax network in the US off the ground. I am banking on HSDPA. My second choice would be LTE over WiMax.
