WWDC to Fall on June 5-9th, 2011?

Originally spotted by AppleBitch.com, the possible dates for WWDC this year appear to fall between June 5th and 9th. The Moscone events page shows a "Corporate Meeting" in Moscone West occupying those dates. In the past, such listings have predicted Apple's WWDC event, but not with complete accuracy. Last year, Apple's actual WWDC dates did not fall on the predicted dates.
What is interesting is that the dates do correspond with tentative leaked dates from a San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau PDF. Those dates included:
Tentative WWDC Dates:
2011: June 5th - June 10th
2012: June 10th - June 15th
2013: June 9th - June 14th
2014: June 1st - June 6th
2015: June 7th - June 12th
With the rise of iOS and Apple's withdrawal from Macworld Expo, WWDC has become a major event for Apple each year. This year, Apple is expected to feature Mac OS X Lion prominently.

Man, with all the Verizon iPhone talk and iPad 2 speculation, I'd almost forgotten about Lion. I'm excited to see what the final product looks like. And of course, what would WWDC be without a new iPhone. I can't see Apple not releasing some kind of updated version, even if it's no more than a new processor and RAM/capacity boost.

cant wait for it, although i am more interested in the macbook update unless they plan on doing it all at once since the the intel chips are late this year

I am definitely not buying any new Macs before Lion. I can't imagine buying a new MacBook Pro or something in April or May, and then updating the OS, Parallels, doing software installs, etc.. a month or so later. It would just seem silly.

Indeed.. hadn't heard of that one before. That b**** website will probably gain some interest. ;)

Really? Seems like they would be more likely to talk about iOS 5/iPhone 5.

Sounds like it's going to be one ridiculously long keynote speech.

If true, I'm relieved to hear Mac OS X will be feautured prominently. iOS devices are great but have stolen the spotlight far too long...
Note to Apple: Please give us Mac OS X 10.7 Lion early this summer. Kthx. :)

ALthough I'm excited about new iOS devices and I'm sure there will be plenty of focus there, it will be great to see the developments of Lion too. Nice to see some spotlight on the Macs. Dying to see something game changing again on the OS or the Macs themselves.
