They will announce that, while doing research on the internet in preparation for the DI, they came across a website with cartoons called Chick Tracts and suddenly realized how wrong they have been. D&D is no longer going to be published. Owners of WotC D&D publications will be given the opportunity to exchange them for exciting board games from the Hasbro collection.

What will WotC announce?

Probably a lot of info about the Desert of Desolation minis set due out in November.

And they'll talk about their already-public upcoming releases.

And more on the DI....

This is actually what I meant when I selected option #2 above (content will come in online Dungeon and Dragon).

Yep, me too. Sounds like a great time to talk about the DI. I'd be very surprised to hear anything more serious here, rather than at D&D Experience.

I chose option 2. While I would hate to think that D&D would go mostly digital it wouldnt suprise me and seems the most likely.
Course if I had to pick another option it would be that either D&D or WOTC is being sold.

Just to clarify...

As discussed in other threads, WotC has announced releases through early 2008, and they are pretty limited and "rules light". They have practically no player oriented books and Rules Compendium is the only one I would describe as "general interest". There is not a PHB II, DMG II, spell compendium, or even Book of Nine Swords or Magic of Incarnum in sight.

Hence the question. Are they just winding down, releasing a new edition, moving content online, taking a break, or something else?

They are not stopping the printing of the hardback books. They have repeated that several times, at least over on their own boards while discussing the DI effort. Below is one quote from Rich Baker about the dearth of real products in the 1st quarter 2008. Mind you that this quote pertains primarily to FR books, though Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins and Andy Collins have all stated in numerous threads that the hardback books are not stopping.

Sorry I missed this, been on vacation the last few days...

Yes, the catalog's essentially complete. Sometimes we do add products that "sneak in" under the catalog but that's not what we currently have in mind here. There are no Realms products in the first trimester due to the particular quirks of our scheduling process--you will see several Realms products in 2008, just a little later in the year. (Wish it weren't that way, but sometimes the schedule is funny.) Don't read too much into it. We'll have plenty of great Realms stuff to talk about at the GenCon Realms seminar.
