Steve Jobs - One more thing!For those of you who aren’t aware, WWDC ‘08, the World Wide Developer’s Conference, begins on Monday, June 9th. Steve Jobs is giving one of his famous (One more thing…) keynotes in which he shocks the world, sends the Apple Stock soaring, and causes people to get in fanboy lines weeks in advance for product releases.

Of course no one really knows what Steve is going to release or announce, but the internet is running rampant with rumors of all things Apple-ish.

Here are the rumored highlights with a probability rating (more stars=more probable):

  • Apple will announce “Snow Leopard” - OS X 10.6. *****
  • Apple will announce that “Snow Leopard” is Intel only and will run on PC’s . ***
  • Apple will announce OS X 10.5.4 will release within weeks. *****
  • Apple will announce a MacTable. **
  • Apple will announce a Mac Nano for less than $500 (ultra portable mobile PC) ****
  • Apple will release the 3G iPhone. *****
  • iPhone will come in 2 form factors. ***
  • iPhone Application store will debut. ****
  • iPhone firmware 2.0 will be released. ****
  • .Mac will be rereleased and improved. Expect the MobleMe framework to be released. *****
  • MacBooks will see a major overhaul and release. *****

If even half of these wild speculations turn out true, there will be some excited people in Appleland. I will be one of them. I am dieing for an ultra portable Mac, and the 3G iPhone is calling my name.

Do you have any scoops on what to expect next week? Let me know in the comments! I will bring you all the news that is fit to print after Steve does his thing on Monday. Until then, dream of dancing MacBooks.
