John - I was debating what to put as the "one more thing", but I think Steve knows the overwhelming majority are expecting the new iPhone at WWDC, so he wouldn't leave it for the last (surprise) slot. There are numerous rumours coming in of Apple perhaps bringing out a touch device with a larger screen size than the iPhone. Also, of note: first photos from Moscone West (where WWDC is taking place) http://flickr.com/photos/gernot/2554181096/in/photostream MSR and John Madden – Thanks!

Otherwise, good job. Optimistic and realistic. My only beef with this is that I believe iPhone 2 will be the ‘One More Thing…’ Otherwise, good job. Optimistic and realistic.

It would be nice for Apple to offer OS X10.6 as a free upgrade, but I don't think it fits with Apple's definition of "major" upgrades. It all depends on how big this update is. If it's big enough to be considered a 10.6 upgrade, then I think we should expect to pay SOMEthing, whether it's a very reduced price or not remains to be seen.

As for free .Me I think it would be a wise move. So many other companies are offering free .mac-esk services it seems silly to pay for theirs. 'Snow Leopard' (nice dub) I feel should be a free/subsidised upgrade for all Leopard users (bit of a side note really), but I was an early adopter and it's caused me a fair few problems. I think it would be a really nice gesture from apple to offer it up to Leopard license holders? /discuss Good post though, if your predictions aren't far off the mark, its gonna be an exciting WWDC!!
