Sometime before the actual release of the iPhone, most would agree, Apple needs to hammer out the final details. When do you think that'll happen? Later this month, April, May, or two days before the release of the product?

Also, when do you really think you can go and get one? A possible early May release? Or does "June" mean June 30th? Are you likely not gonna have one in-hand until July?

All speculation, of course...
 
I say WWDC...along with 6G iPod, 16GB Nano, Leopard, h264 decoding/encoding chips, black iMac, octo-core Mac Pro, C2D Mini, and a whole lotta goodies...
 
June 11 - 15

I actually think that this will be the time around when the iPhone is going to be released. Like Jobs has done before, he will probably introduce that "newest" features on the iPhone that they've added since it's introduction in January and at the end he'll say something like..."guess what, what are available as of today/tomorrow." And then the nerdy crowd will go wild.

Does he present a keynote at this event, like he does for Macworld?

I fear you are going to be sorely disappointed if you are really hoping to see all that.

I don't think we will see those iPod/nano's until the end of the year. Christmas season. Saying that, im still hoping for sooner.
 
i'm actually hoping he'll devote wwdc for mac-related business. as it's a developer conference, i don't see how appropriate it would be to debut the iphone there. rather, i imagine a separate special apple event in june before wwdc, documenting finalized features and apps. as for cpu/gpu details, i don't think apple will ever officially release that info.

Be pretty mad if we didn't seem some of that soon. Atleast Octo-Core Mac Pro and Core 2 Duo Mac Mini. I think OS X 10.5 will come at WWDC, honestly I can't see iPods and iMacs coming at WWDC, as its more of a "pro" event..while iPod and iMacs are more "consumer' prodcuts
 
If anything about Mac Os x, hardware, iLife or iPhone happens before WWDC I will be shocked and amazed.

I expect FCP updates at NAB, with the slightest possibility of 8 core Mac Pros.

No iPhone or Leopard until WWDC. iPhone runs mini-Leopard, so I doubt it will be out before the real thing.
