Good luck beating the media hype that surrounds Apple conferences. Nobody's better than Apple at getting free advertising out of news coverage. Nobody.JackEtc said:

This is practically guaranteed. And if it doesn't happen, there's something seriously wrong.DECK'ARD said:

John Gruber doesn't think so. He says the only reason they announced iCloud today, is to set the expectations of no new hardware.
I'm excited. Even without hardware that's a lot of info. Have we heard much about iOS5? It seems like there hasn't really been too many leaks. Then I've seen some rumors about them potentially releasing Lion day of.
With this and the MS conference I'm going to come home to a shit ton of info when I get out of class.

I felt this way coming from Windows. Now I hate having apps full screen.
I've been using Lion developer previews since they started getting released. The full screen function is solid and it does what it says on the tin.
However the functionality of the full screen mode for select applications and the new Mission Control means that you do not expand an application across the desktop - instead you generate a new desktop that is that application. Logically this starts going against the habitual command bar changing according to the select application, but it does work.

Mixing full screen apps with Screens and Mission Control will make it extremely palatable for select tasks, I think, without feeling like a bunch of layers sitting on top of each other.Neverender said:
First of! Damn you Giga! I was just about to press the "Submit thread" button when I noticed you had beaten me 
Congrats son.
Congrats son.I don't think we can expect any leaks until just right before the event if at all. iOS 5 is kept tight at Apple and unlike their hardware or cloud service they have no need for outside partners who can potentially leak information.kaskade said:

Hardware launch for September event...new iPhone, new iPod touch, official release of iOS 5.
Yes please. Cloud gamecenter saving is should be a must if Apple wants to continue to promote the iPod touch as a gaming device (and iPhone).

My WWDC Wishlist:
iOS 5
+ Better notifications
+ Better utility of space on iPads (amount of icons per page)
+ Minor Safari tweaks
Lion
+ Please support my 32-bit Macbook
(yeah, I know...)
iCloud
+ MobileMe on crack (Dropbox-esque syncing on all Apple platforms; make it painless)
+ Enough storage to back up iPhoto library
+ The obvious music streaming, but also TV/movie streaming

Coincidentally I planned my vacation for the week of E3/WWDC. Excellent.

Is it too much to hope for an official Facebook client for the iPad?

More people own Playbooks than iPads. Why would they waste their time on a failure like the iPad?
Zuckerberg keeps on his saying that the iPad is not a mobile device and because of that will not get a client. Dumbest reasoning ever, not that it's impossible to use the web for stuff but I actually prefer using apps for all webservices. Not only does it feel more personal but they always tend to be more visually appealing while keeping all the functionality and making it more accesible.badcrumble said:

On the feaseability scale of "is this actually technically possible?" could Apple pull of my dream:
- Safari Cloud, when I close my laptop, whatever open tabs and stuff on my browser would go to the cloud, and I could continue whatever I was doing on my iPad
Is it an impossible dream, or could something like that actually work?

Oh yeah, there is no way in hell they're going to offer that feature. But it's not some crazy futuristic tech dream.
I'm curious and skeptical about iCloud. MobileME was a colossal failure on every level.
I signed up and then couldn't even use it for like the first week or so.

So the expected iCloud base we probably will get is their music service and nothing else?

So what are the iOS 5 rumors right now? I want to see what they have planned for my new iPad 2.

There better be a free plan for iCloud. Why did Lala have to die? They had cloud streaming done better than Amazon and Google.
Also iOS needs a new look and GameCenter needs attention.

Please make MobileMe worth me buying every year.
New notification system, widgets, voice commands, Cloud services and new lockscreen are the rumors but there has been no credibly source for anything of it.Deadly Cyclone said:
I think at this point music is all we have confirmed but Apple has recent patents and such surrounding a DropBox like feature for OS X. I'm guessing they will offer some kind of API for it so developers may take advantage of it, maybe not directly with iOS 5 but certainly within a reasonable time after release.Vinterbird said:
