I know I'm not the one you'd expect to say this, but dude, check out the WM5 phones. I've got a Verizon 6700, and while Verizon is a craptacular cell provider, (it's a work phone. Personally, I use Sprint, they don't cripple bluetooth), the phone is way sweet to use.

Missing Sync for WM is really quite nice. No E'rage notes yet, but I have it talking to Sync Services, and it's quite nice.

OK, here are some rumors:

1) Apple is buying back VPC from the MacBU and will include this as virtualization solution in 10.5

2) Apple will present how well the transition to Intel is doing and will let MS and Adobe give a preview of Office:12 for Mac and Photoshop

3) Because Steve likes to make ME happy, the Macbook Pro will be updated and get the same magnetic closure as the Macbool not pro...

4) Steve will present it's personal best of "I am a PC" commercial parodies to have every one LOL

;-)

Why not ask Scoble?
"Speaking of Apple, they are readying a dizzying amount of new products. I wish I could camp out at an Apple store during the World Wide Developer Conference on August 7th. I wish I could say more, but that’d get me sued by Steve Jobs and I don’t need that kind of heck right now."

Generally I've found the best Apple products seem to come out when the rumour mill is particularly... well, crap.

I'll second John's WM phone comments - I love my SP5 (in as much as I can love something that runs Windows ;)) I've lived quite happily with it synchronising direct with Exchange over WiFi for the last 7 months, it's fantastic.

As to not buying things before WWDC/MWSF... good plan. I lucked out with my 12" PowerBook (bought the day before WWDC2005) - they never really did anything to that model (I think it got a bump to a superdrive, and then... well, the MacBooks came along).

Ok, I'm gonna shut up on rumour's and not feed the mill - not that I'm on any NDA's, yet he-he

Honestly, what's more important for geeks like us than the "Mac Pro" boxes? That's the thing I'm most looking forward to, because as it stands now, they could be the most ridiculous PC's out in terms of performance. I love my MacBook Pro, but my Windows desktop is getting old. Time for a replacement.

Mac BU at WWDC

Will the Mac BU be previewing any new software at WWDC 2006 such as Office 12 or Messenger 6?

Steven -- I didn't know that Roz would be on stage at MWSF until Steve introduced her. :)
