iPhone no-show at Apple event
But Apple will unveil new laptops and iPods
Apple will not be showing off its much-vaunted iPhone at June's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), according to a respected Wall Street analyst.
PiperJaffray analyst Gene Munster rejected rumours that Apple will tout its iPhone at the conference (June 14) in San Francisco. Apple will launch the new mobile phone in late June.
Instead, at WWDC CEO Steve Jobs will flesh out previously undisclosed features of its forthcoming new operating system (Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard), announce new MacBook Pro models, and possibly a revamped iMac desktop lineup.
Speculation is rife that Apple will show LED-backlit MacBook Pros using the new Intel Santa Rosa chipset.
Munster predicted that from July to September Apple would sell approximately a million iPhones at an average price of US$550 each.
Munster also predicted that a widescreen iPod (essentially a stripped iPhone) would ship in early autumn. "Expect Apple to launch new widescreen iPods with the iPhone's multi-touch technology at a price-point below the iPhone's $499," said Munster. "Like $399."

Well, as long as I can't develop applications for it, I have no interest in hearing about the iPhone at WWDC. I'm paying good money to go talk to Apple engineers about development questions and learn things about Leopard. I'm not paying good money so Apple can try to sell me an iPhone.

Agreed. WWDC is for deveopers, more high tech and geek oriented than Macworld Expo. Keynote at WWDC shouldn't be about the iPhone. Other than announcing it's out and if there are a few frills to show off quickly, fine. But not the whole Keynote as he did at Macworld.
