Everything and anything about me.
We're less than 20 minutes away from Steve's WWDC 2011 keynote! Here are my predictions for what Apple will announce:
1. iOS 5
- revamped notifications
- improved multitasking
- built-in navigation component (with voice navigation)
- system-wide social integration (address book/contacts)
2. Lion availability, features overview, price
3. iCloud (this is the killer app):
- replaces MobileMe as the calendar, contacts, bookmarks, mail, and file storage (and maybe even sharing ala Dropbox) hub in the cloud. Syncs PIM across all devices
- iWork moves to the cloud, allows anyone and everyone to use, share, collaborate
- iTunes becomes part of iCloud - stream your songs (initially), photos and movies (eventually). Not sure whether each user would need to upload their own copy or the songs would become available based on what is in the user's library
- subscription music service
- eventually provides an API for developers to write iCloud apps
- eliminates the need for local iTunes activation of iOS devices: simply log in using iCloud account to activate, sync, restore
4. New iOS-based AirPort and Time Capsule base stations that cache updates to Mac and iOS devices. Significantly improves iCloud streaming
That's all I've got. I don't think we'll see any iOS hardware today.
