16GB iPhone for $499, iPhone for Japan via NTT DoCoMo, According to Steve

Jobs' Leaked Speech at Macworld Expo 2008?

Steve Jobs' keynote speech, that he is due to make on stage at the

Moscone Centre in San Francicso on Tuesday 15th January, has

apparently been leaked via Wikipedia.

With highlights including a 16GB iPhone, details of the SDK for the

device, a 13-inch 0.8-inch thick redesigned MacBook and direct YouTube

for Apple TV, it would not be a dull keynote if it's all true.

In its entirety, if the sources are to be believed, here is what

Monsieur Jobs is to cover during tomorrow's time on stage:
