In terms of tech, I'd like to see other starships that are not Constitution Class (a nice shot of the old Enterprise NX museum ship in dock perhaps)
If Abrams has any sense, which i highly expect, then there will be next to NO references to previous/future shows what so ever apart from the few nods, but barely noticeable if your not Trek savvy. That was something Enterprise was terrible at doing, referencing the future of the timeline... 'Phase Pistols, Photonic Torpedoes, Reed Alert, Prime directive and pish i cant bring myself to think of.
Personally, i doubt we'll see the Akiraprise from the alternate 22nd century or any of its crew, i doubt we'll even have, well, but a few, nods to the other main events in TOS and its movies, but apart from that, nothing, at least thats my point of view.
Abbrams will want this to be his baby, obviously, so i dont think it will be crammed with references.
Anyway, i went a bit off track there... Sorry, got a bit carried away.
So yeah, i agree with pretty much what you have just said. Although, i would love to see a big rec-deck, with large windows and inspired recreational equipment.
What i would also love is for them to go back and maybe use some original sketches as a base and maybe develop something that wont necessarily be used, but just be there say on a shelf or part of a working machine.
As for equipment, well, thats a difficult one for me, i have probably hundreds i would like to see properly... A maintenance/repair shuttle, torpedo launchers and phaser banks, The Loo, the red-shirt replicator, Kirks girdle warehouse...
