I am going to throw down my predictions for what Apple will release tomorrow at the WWDC keynote. I have no sources here so these are complete guesses and I may (probably) will look like an ass tomorrow.

We already saw some version of it. I think it will have:

  • Longer battery life
  • Better 3g signal reception

  • Carriers will determine if you can use it on 3G
  • AT&T will say no

  • Dev access for cloud storage with iPhone apps.
