It's official: Steve Jobs will deliver the WWDC keynote

Apple issued a press release this morning officially announcing that Steve Jobs will deliver the WWDC keynote on June 7th. The sold-out event will take place in San Francisco at the Moscone Center's West building, and Jobs will kick things off at 10:00 AM Pacific. Of course, we'll have plenty of coverage, so be sure to check back.

The question is: What's left for Steve to announce? Gizmodo and Tinhte have probably exposed the new iPhone, though we still haven't seen the final version of iPhone OS 4 up and running. Plus, there are suggestions that the casing Gizmodo showed off wasn't final (you'll notice that the prototype in Vietnam had fewer visible screws).

Of course, it's not entirely about the iPhone. Here are my predictions of what we'll see from Steve at WWDC '10:

iPhone 4th Generation with new A4 processor, more RAM, possibly more storage space and an improved, front-facing camera plus iChat. Tethering via AT&T will be Steve's "One more thing." Release date announced for the end of July.
iPhone OS 4 release date announced for the end of July.
iTunes 9.2
Updated Mac Pro systems (long overdue).
Mac OS X 10.7 Preview.

We'll find out for sure in a couple of weeks.

I agree with some of the predictions above, but one I would add to the list is I predict there will be a new version of Safari for iPhone/iPod Touch (maybe iPad too). I just believe that since Apple recently approved Opera mini in the App store, that Steve Jobs will want to make sure that Safari is competitive with Opera. Maybe just a re-design with some of the features that some seem to want like tab browsing, full screen, and others that escape me for now.

Can't wait 'til June 7th.

You, David Caolo, are an idiot. I promise you that there is no chance of a 10.7 preview. 10.7 has very likely been delayed by other projects, and will not launch in 2010, giving little material or reason for a preview at this time. Additionally, I find it highly unlikely that tethering will be presented as a "one more thing..." topic after ATT has dropped the ball so significantly for the past 11 months.

iPad OS 4.0 preview anyone? THAT is something to be excited about!

As much as I would like to see the iPhone announced for Verizon, it's simply not going to happen this year.

No chance of 10.7 preview, it's been said by Steve himself that this years focus is on iPhone and iPad. If there was so much of a focus on OSX there would be the design awards for OSX and things of the sort.

I do not believe 10.7 will get previewed at this WWDC. I predict that next year.

What a grand chance to give us another carrier. Now, that's a real "one more thing".

My predos:

-iPhone 4. Similar to the leaks but without seams. (Ships late June)
-iPhone OS 4 final new features. (Late June with iPhone 4)
-iPhone OS 4 demoed on iPad
-MacBook Air refresh (Black bezel)
-Mac Pro boosts

Don't think they'll be any OS X stuff, we'll see that WWDC 2011 ready to ship late 2011/early 2012
