The sequel is scheduled to be released June 29, 2012. That's only about 890 days from now!
Any guesses or wishes on the plot?
I'm hoping that maybe this sequel will actually be a prequel or sequel to the previous prequel's temporal shift, and somehow the original canon time-line will be restored.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that... I think Abrams likes what he started, and is going to run with it... And not look back.
If I remember correctly from the DVD-extras, he's talking about making their struggle be against some aspect of the universe, as opposed to a protagonist character.
I also want to say that they mentioned a lot of requests for the next villain to be Khan Noonien Singh. Remember, with a rebooted universe, we get to see their first meeting again.
This far out, it's really anyone's guess though.

Never gonna happen. this was the most successful Trek ever (even accounting for inflation), and won over a lot of new fans. There is NO way they're going to ditch it to satisfy a few old-school fans.
Personally, I want to see them bring in Khan, and set him up as an ongoing villain. He's out there, it'd be a waste to ignore such an awesome character. And there are a lot of ways to go with the character, without rehashing what came before.

I've been wanting to see one with Mud in it.

Yeah... but if they put Mudd in... chances are they'll cast Jack Black. Eh.

I hope not, I'm not a big fan of Jack Black... Personally I'd rather they go with lesser knowns, then pack it full of high priced names. The characters always seem to be better if the writers aren't writing for a particular actor.

In this reality, I'd bet he's not quite so nice...

I think if we see Trelane (which might not be a bad idea) they might go ahead and officially make him a Q (as was done in the books, and almost done on TNG).
Another character I'd like to see is Sybok (even though I hate hate hate Trek 5).
I think the idea of a charismatic cult leader who now hails from a recently destroyed world has some interesting potential. Could be their way to make the story more topical, which they've said they plan to do next time around.
Team up Khan and Sybok, and I'll be giddy.

My guess would be Khan. First one had Captain Pike, so stayed true to the original series in that way, so adding Khan into the mix pays tribute to TOS *AND* most fans' favorite of the movies.
And I'm betting Abrams could pull it off, too.
