WWDC 2011 Press Release ⇥

At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next generation software – Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS® X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple’s advanced mobile operating system which powers the iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®; and iCloud®, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering.

I am blown away that they would pre-announce what is going to be shown in the keynote. That is very unlike Apple. The only reason I suspect they did this is because they wanted to reaffirm that no new hardware is being released.

But then, a more Apple-like wording would change the iCloud part to say something like “an upgrade to Apple’s MobileMe offerings”, without mentioning the new product. Weird.
