Ondrej Holzman When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad 2 before March 2, some were disappointed that it didn't make it to the new iOS and MobileMe, which are expected to see major changes. At least that's what all the indications suggest. However, now the German server Macerkopf.de came with the information that Apple is preparing another presentation during the first half of April.
It is said that Apple should send out invitations to Cupertino at the beginning of April, where it wants to organize another "media event". The main, and perhaps the only, points will be iOS 5 and a redesigned MobileMe. It was expected that Apple would reveal some of this when presenting the second generation iPad, but Steve Jobs probably did not want other significant news to overlap, so he prefers to let everything lie and will appear in front of journalists and fans again in a month.
Although the final version of iOS 4.3 will be released on Friday, users are much more interested in iOS 5. It should bring significant changes - especially redesigned notification system, deeper integration with the cloud and probably some slight design changes. The competition is constantly evolving, and if Apple wants to escape again, it must not wait too long. None of the above-mentioned news has been confirmed, but the notification system, for example, is the Achilles heel of the current iOS.
Much has already been written about MobileMe, too. He even revealed that something was going on in one of the email responses Steve Jobs himself. MobileMe should happen free service and get a completely new form. There is also speculation about iTunes in the cloud or a new MediaStream feature for photos and videos.

Does the launch of iOS 5 also mean the launch of the iPhone 5?
I don't think iPhone 5 yet ;) that would again be a lot of news in one conference... ;)
I would rather see the iPhone 5 in July, something like... I don't know...
i'm more curious about MobileMe if it will be really free…that would be great!!! ;)
I wonder how they intend to deal with the ME customers who pay (they have prepaid for a year). If they somehow benefit them (larger space, higher priority for speed) or simply return their money... They should really work on iDisk speed and its better synchronization.
I would be curious when they are going to release the new iMacs. I would like to buy it, but only the new version.
In my opinion, the iPhone 5 will be presented at WWDC in June, just as it was last year with the iPhone 4. If iOS 5 is presented to the media in April, developers will probably work on it during April and May, and then only after the presentation of the new iPhone gets to the public. Regarding MobileMe, I hope we will hear something new in April. There was already a lot of speculation, so hopefully it will be "big" :-). I think that users who already have a MobileMe prepaid Apple will benefit by offering them, as you write, more space in the cloud and perhaps even some bonus functions. Apparently, it will work in such a way that every user will have some basic space for music, images, photos, documents, etc. for free, and if we want a larger space, we will have to pay extra for it.
In my opinion, there won't be any iPhone 5 this year, at most they will ceremoniously put the iP4 white on sale, because the potential of the iP4 is not yet exhausted.
I also don't believe the release of iOS 5 in a month, the release of iOS 4.3 took quite a long time since the release of iOS 4, which was on April 8.4.2010, 3 - which is almost a year and the release of four. The release of iOS 4.3 from the two took perhaps even longer, so it doesn't seem to me that they would go "immediately" after the release of the 5 update to the release of the new iOS with the serial number XNUMX - it would rather be in the category of wishful thinking, but if I'm wrong, then it will be a nice surprise.-)
Apple has to keep up with the competition in the field of hi-end devices, this year it belongs to dual cores, the A5 is amazing, we have heard what it can do. Not putting him in this year's iP would be nonsense. Skipping a generation would be a suicidal move.
iOs 5 … Introducing is one thing and releasing the final version is another. As every year, Apple will introduce it around this time, release the first beta and SDK, and believe me, you won't see the final before June ;-)
I'm also waiting for a new iMac with MAC OSX Lion. Maybe in the summer, I hope... :-(
I'm mainly interested in when they want to bury the 3GS. If they bury it in iOS5, it will be a shame. If they only cut off 3G, we can expect it already in 4.3, but we'll see...
So it's out...
Well, it already worked, but 02 is blocking WiFi, Thanks a lot, dear 02.
Fact - WiFi hot spot is not at 02. Thank you 02, really great!
hopefully there will be notifications and widgets like android has
I also wonder when they will announce the move of all Apple SW to the Mac App Store.
Look, I have an iP4 and I would say that I quite understand it... I also follow things around Apple and so on, but I really have no idea what MobileMe is. Someone please explain it to me.
