Anytime from March-April-May-June:
Small bumps to models eg. MacMini Core2Duo.

March: AppleTV shipping, continue Airport Extreme 802.11N rollout.

April:
Mid-April NAB FinalCutPro, Motion, DVDStudioPro, possible 8 core MacPro announced. Early April, AAPL Jan-March 2007 (FY07 Q2) results.

May:
Maybe some iPod updates, no Video Touchscreen iPod until iPhone more in play for a few months. Adobe Universal CS3 release and shipping in full swing.*

June:
WWDC full demo and shipping release announced for Leopard Mac OS X 10.5. Some new Mac models to sweeten the Leopard release. Steve Jobs: “All new Macs are now shipping with Leopard. Those who purchased a Mac within the last 60 days, small ($25?) upgrade fee”.

*This suggests that mid-April announcement is a prep for Pro machine updates for mass sales in the pro creative [graphic/ web design] scene, on top of broadcast market. For those waiting in the wings. No Leopard release here because the pros want to jump on 10.4.8/ 10.4.9 real stable platform when upgrading. So pro Mac updates will be for MacPro Quad, MacPro 8Core, MacBookPro bumps, maybe MacBook 15.4 inch.

A conservative view, with space for surprises. I guess that’s what makes Apple fandom so fun???
