    I like the concept...A LOT. Hopefully the iPod touch gets the upgrade, too!

    The couldn't go the full 4-inches? Not that the .1 of an inch makes a difference, but still :p We want a 4-inch screen and they give us a 3.9.. a little funny if you think about it.

    I doubt they'll talk about the iPhone/iPod Touch in WWDC.

    I can see them introducing a the new Mac line up (new Macbook Pro's, Air, etc.), as well as hopefully a full release of Mountain Lion along side.

    And it'd be nice if they give us a preview of iOS 6 around that time as well. They should release the next iPhone around September, or late August, I'd imagine. And then the following year release it mid year, like it's been before. Unless they want to change the release date completely and keep it in October, like they did with the 4S.

    No, not iPod touches or iPhones in WWDC, just sessions about iOS 6.

    My guess according to Apple's logic. ^^^

    While they did release an iPhone at WWDC several year back, it's highly unlikely, being...Apple knows the Fall period is a good marketing move to sell a lot during the holiday.

    The iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 have all been introduced in WWDC.

    That's 3 out of 5. It seems like the normal event in which to release the iPhone, late June/early July. That's why last year's release date of the iPhone was weird to everyone. So this year they could either maintain the October date to keep it a year apart, go back to releasing it in June/July (which would probably have a lot of people who bought the 4S upset), or transition slowly back to June/July by releasing the new iPhone this year around September/late August.

    Truthfully, I haven't heard any rumors at all about iOS 6 while the Mac and iPad Mini rumors keep piling up. Of course Apple loves its veil of mystery so everything is speculation until WWDC rolls around. Maybe that's the game they are trying to play. ;)


    I don't think Mountain Lion will be talked about as much as the new Mac line or any new product releases/updates. The reason I say that is because Apple already showed us its cards back in December when they announced the big features of ML even including a video of it. Heck, they even gave customers a chance to try out the Messages App in beta. Unless Apple has something new to unveil that they did not show, I would expect ML to be a short segway into the new Mac hardware updates.

    Well, surely the new macs will have ML, and if so, they'll talk a bit about ML. Just refresh people's memories on its features. If we're lucky, maybe they'll announce new stuff... But if not, then yeah, surely a little re-cap on what it's about. I remember they did so with... iOS 5 I believe, in WWDC and then the iPhone 4S presentation.

    They may release the Macs before ML (which is coming "Late Summer"). If they release the new Macs before ML, the Macs bought will receive the free upgrade to ML via the free upgrade program. WWDC is too early for an official ML release. I can see iOS 6, though.

    The mockup looks like a Motorola Defy. If they do make it longer and not longer and wider its really gonna look dumb imo.
