ETA: Oh, and if you thought you might attend? Forget it. APPLE SOLD OUT IN LESS THAN A DAY!

Apple has unveiled the date of this year’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) as June 6 through June 10 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. This event will cover both iOS and Mac OSX development, and there is much speculation regarding what might and might not be revealed during the five day conference.

Apple’s press release claims that they will “unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS” at the WWDC 2011. Specifically mentioned is Mac OS Lion, but though no mention is made of iOS 5 we’ve no doubt that this is the conference that the new iOS version will be revealed. What is under speculation, though, is what will iOS 5 bring to the table.

A TechCrunch article has attempted to fill that speculation void, stating that their information is based on solid sources. TechCrunch’s Siegler says that iOS 5 will be a complete revamp of the OS “heavily built around the cloud…we could see several new services launch from Apple that take advantage of this.” These services apparently include a ‘music locker’ service that would allow users to store their music in a lockable storage space in a cloud server, and a friend/family location service.

You won’t see iOS 5 released at this conference though. TechCrunch pegs that date in the fall, and even the WWDC 2011 slogan bears that out: “Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X”.

Unfortunately for those looking for the latest hardware (iPhone 5, anyone?) this event seems to be software only. So you’ll have to wait for that hoped for hardware update for later.
