The outline of Steve Job’s 2008 MacWorld Keynote, one of the most hotly anticipated speeches of the year, has reportedly been leaked to the Internet via Wikipedia.

We can’t vouch for the accuracy of this, and it’s most likely completely bogus – but it’s fun to speculate.

If the leak proves to be real, it looks like the biggest news items for new media will be:

• iSight cameras are getting 720p upgrade
• iPhone getting more memory, making it a better Internet video client
• New apps for iPhone, including RSS reader & Twitter client
• YouTube integration with iTunes, to allow for offline viewing.

HD iSight cameras would be big news, as would be integrating YouTube with iTunes, which could turn YouTube into a giant video podcasting channel.

We’ll know in 24 hours how much of this is legit.

Here’s the outline…..
