As expected, though, everything else is under wraps. What could tomorrow's keynote bring? According to the rumor mill, it's not gonna be all about iPhones. In fact, it may end up being just one of many things announced:
* Rumors about Apple introducing Safari 5 popped up over the weekend, with support for Bing search, extended HTML5 support, and a new "Reader" capability. Additionally, Safari 5 is expected to add hardware acceleration under Windows, as well as a number of other features.
* MacRumors has also "heard" that Xcode 4 will be demonstrated at WWDC, although no further details are available.
* Many users expect Apple to announce a possible cloud-based media service as a result of its Lala acquisition. The company shut down Lala at the end of May with no replacement in sight, and that North Carolina data center has to be good for something.
* There are also rampant rumors about the next generation of the Apple TV. It's allegedly going to be based on the same A4 processor currently used in the iPad, support 1080p video, and perhaps most controversially, may ditch the internal hard drive storage in favor of a a streaming-only system.
* Finally, MobileMe may or may not get tiered account levels this week. Some users noticed that their accounts were no longer "Individual" but rather "Full Members" recently, indicating that there may be ways to subscribe to MobileMe in the near future without forking over a full $99 per year.
We already know what to expect with the next-gen iPhone itself: higher-capacity battery, front-facing camera, and a new physical design.
This is an awful long menu for a WWDC keynote, but Apple has surprised us in the past. We'll find out soon enough which of these bullets will end up coming true.
You can watch the entire keynote on Apple's site a few hours after it's over.
