No new Apple hardware at WWDC.
But...
New games on the way from ID and EA.
Nice new Mac OS Leopard features
iChat gets PhotoBooth.
Leopard to cost $129! (Get it free with new Macs - like I'll be doing when my boat comes in).
Safari for Windows!? (the more those PC guys use their iPods and Apple apps, the more likely they are to switch)
iPhone to be open to 3rd party apps.
Where's the new iMacs?!
I'm depressed. Thank God Heroes is on tonight.
Here's a demo of Leopard's new desktop:

It's that time again!
Steve Jobs will take the stage at this years Apple Worldwide Developers Conference some time this evening. He'll be going through Leopard and iPhone for most of the show but what will be the 'just one more thing...' this time? Rumours of new touch-screen iPods, brushed-metal iMacs, 3G iPhones for Europe and even Google apps for .Mac have being floating around as contenders. So if you're looking to buy anything Apple today, put your money away and wait until tomorrow.

Good news for Nokia N-Series users. Nokia have released a beta version of Nokia Media Transfer - a syncronisation app for the phones. Now you can sync your N phone with iTunes and iPhoto. Download it here.

Brushed alu iMacs for WWDC rumours.
Damn, until now I was set on replacing my ageing G4 iMac to a MacBook. 9to5Mac.com have revealed that "Apple is set to unleash a new iMac design that will utilize the company's trademark "Brushed Metal" look. One inside source claimed that the new iMacs would utilize the Santa Rosa Chipset and could top out at a larger size than the current 24 inch display. Additionally, the design will resemble the current Cinema Display more than the current iMacs with the extra hang below the screen minimized.
There is no word yet on whether or not Apple will return to its color iMac designs but hypothetically, they could end up with the same sort of surface as the current iPod Nano line.
Apple is also getting rid of the 17" version, instead opting for a lower priced 20".
The new iMacs are set to be priced similar to the current lineup and will hit the shelves shortly after WWDC."
By the way, they'll look nothing like the one in the picture above.

Send your kids to Apple Summer Camp.
Spaces are available at all Apple Store locations in the UK. Families spend two and a half hours learning how to make movies, podcasts, photos, music and websites on the Mac. The recommended age is from 8 to 12 and you can sign up for a two workshops. What fun!

Here's one of two new ads for the UK.

STOP PRESS!
New MacBook Pros to come out tomorrow (ThinkSecret say so).

DRM-free tracks tagged with buyer's name.
All iTunes Plus tracks have the name of the buyer embedded in their tags. This has caused a huge uproar across the tech-news sites. Some even say that because of this, the tracks can't be classed as DRM-free. What's all the fuss? To me it's just the same as writing your name on the inside cover of a book. Perhaps the tag should read "This track belongs to...". It could also be a cleverly preconceived way of stopping the buyer from sharing it via peer-to-peer networks. After all, to steal a track someone has to give it away in the first place.
