I don't think the specials will effect Jack or his story. RTD's already said CoE won't be referenced at all and there's rumors/theories that either the specials are set before CoE or Jack may be part of a hallucination of the Doctor's. Considering RTD's in talks for S4, there's a limited amount they can do with Jack without affecting Torchwood. I don't think that'll go on without Jack, at least not more than an episode or two. RTD can't end Jack's story without effectively ending Torchwood.
I'm guessing RTD's gonna blow the doors off the Time War and bring back the Time Lords in some form. This was all New Series stuff anyway, no Classic Who knowledge needed. He's already introduced the idea that the Time War can be breached in Stolen Earth/Journey's End, but with the side effect of making one crazy. As the known returning Time Lord is already crazy... ;) Although it possibly might just be Omega, one of the founders of Time Lord society that the Fifth Doctor killed in Arc of Infinity. (Also appeared in the Three Doctors, where Jo was the Doctor's assistant and she really should have been Ianto's mother- she ran off with a brilliant Welshman named Jones and was rather good with tea, quips and escaping bondage.) ;p
Eh, I don't see RTD moving Torchwood on without Jack. JB is the big name, the star of the show. We might get a few Jack-lite episodes early on, but he'll be back.
Tennent's finale does look very exciting. :)
I've seen the Ianto/Jo connection in a couple fics, even wrote it myself, but it should've been canon. It would've been a nice throwback to Who and opened up some interesting characterization for Ianto. But alas, not to be since RTD killed him off... :(

Wow. This... is actually making me excited to see Who again. I hope it's true.
I think that character was Ianto's mum in this one fanfic I read....
