Ramping up the speculation...
Here's my annual WWDC warning.
Don't get you're hopes up too high, we know how it goes:
Everyone wants to be believe that Apple WILL do this, that and the other.
And when they don't, or it's less than expected, it's an almighty fail.
And we do this every year!

Myself, I don't see new mapping company being anything to do with iOS6.
It's just a map, I don't care who makes it.
I'm thinking of changes to the UI, something different to just pre-space icons on a static wallpaper you swipe left and right on, and run full screen or nothing.
Something REALLY new, like (now we have the retina display) multiple windows, sub folders, anything that's a fresh change.
A developer preview will definately be there, along with features for a release in late summer (August or September).
iOS 6 features will be announced with many new features. iOS 6 internals will also be introduced as 'Apple Confidential Information' but will be leaked anyways. In the 'internals', I think Apple will 'strongly hint' at a larger screen, but no phone will be introduced until September.
Disagree. The new Macs will be talked about for a couple of minutes, because this is one thing that developers really care about - the machines they work on.
I also think that new APIs for the Apple TV (puck-shaped box) will be introduced. Hopefully apps will be available for the Apple TV after this. I've been waiting!
Can't wait! Will be attending WWDC for the first time ever!
If any other devs on here want to meet up, write me a private message.

I think the 2012 slogan is the best of the lot. Why?
The rest are very imaginative and sound good but really tell you nothing. Sure 2011 says iOS and OS X, but "duh" we already knew that.
The 2012 one on the other hand gives us a lot of possible scenarios to ponder. Apple are saying a thing. Most people would call hardware a thing. Cause you can hold a thing. Software usually is not a thing. Cause you can't hold it. You can only hold the media or computer the software is on. This gives me the impression there could be more hardware talk then most peopl expect.
Secondly there's always some kind of iOS or OS X talk in the keynotes. Usually about the great ideas/features in the 2 OSes. And this gets me thinking maybe Apple is trying to say:
"We have great ideas originally used in our OSes but we improved no them and extrapolated on them to come up with some great things (ie hardware).
The other option is the keynote is all about great things or achievements developers can do with great ideas that are inspired from the world around them. And this world being so easily captured with Apple software as music or video or photos or other things. And maybe Apple has some new ideas to share with us that they hope or believe will lead on to become great things by all the developers out there.
So it is for this reason I think the 2012 slogan is the best.
(PS. The 2012 slogan and what you think Jobs would have chosen are similar but have very different meanings indeed. Subtle changes but they make a big difference).
I'm expecting an announcement on iOS6 and MacBook update.
I think iPhone 5 will come in late July or late Sept/early Oct. Apples strategy is to have one major announcement every quarter. They won't announce too much in one announcement.

I hope it's a mix of Mac and iOS updates.
They should do two WWDC's in two adjoining weeks, one for Mac one for iOS. It must be a zoo in that place and I'm sure they would sell out easy enough.

I Believe This is Correct
This is the first response that actually makes sense. It's totally a hint of Steve Job's ideas coming to reality.
I don't think any of you understand this..."Where great ideas go on to do great things." They're obviously talking about new software/ a new product that we have little or no knowledge about. This would be the Apple TV. This was Steve's idea in which Cook fueled the speculation upon when he spoke at the D10 conference...let's not forget his mention of Siri, coming to the iPad and the Apple TV...that..is what Apple means by that. Boom goes the dynamite.

Awesome slogan
I like the slogan used particularly because it depicts a much more wider approach and a move to further improve on the products with the great ideas of today.
Steve will be happy for this....RIP!!!

Got to love that banner ... then only ideas Apple has is deciding what to copy from Windows and Android phones.
Yes, my eyes also forget the retina on my iPad.
But I only need to take a look at the 1st iPad screen, and my eyes are immediately reminded of what retina is and why it is so good to have!!
Retina, at least on the iPad (when compared to the previews models), is big! Let's see how it would be on Macbooks.

ahhhh!!! I know you're right, but I can't help it! haha.
Lowering expectations... lowering expectations....
Ok so we already know exactly what ML has... shouldn't expect anything to be added...
iOS 6 is rumored to have no major system changes, just refreshes of the stock apps...
Mac updates look to be minor spec bumps...
And an Apple TV is a fools dream...
I must Keep thinking these things to temper expectations!
What do you mean with that?
I use both iCloud and Google accounts, in both I use mail, contacts and calendars.
The google account syncs perfectly on all my devices. Mail, contacts and calendar, perfectly fine!
What are you complaining about?

on the pulse app on my iPhone the title of the article was cut off on "where great ideas go..." and I loled in my head as I imagined it saying "to die" even though I already knew what it said.
I might agree if not for the leaked specs of the MBP 13". Last time we got such a leak, all the rumored "changes" didn't materialize (remember the 2011 refresh and the early box pictures. We had had tons of rumors of the same kind, HiDPI, new casings, slimmer form factors). I'm thinking the Macs are only getting Ivy Bridge and USB 3.0 this round, no form factor changes, no big sweeping "No Ethernet/ODD in Pros", no HiDPI displays :
icloud is OK for photos, but for documents dropbox rules. other than file system access, dropbox is multi platform.
