With the 2009 Worldwide Developers Conference less than a week away, there’s plenty of speculation of what new products Apple will announce (especially after the dud that was MacWorld Expo). Here’s a roundup of the latest speculation (Snow Leopard, iPhone, Mac Netbook, Mac Tablet, Stevenote) along with the liklihood of it happening.

It seems as if almost every time there is an Apple announcement coming up, more rumors of a Mac tablet show up. This time around, TechCrunch is reporting that they have heard from OEMs and people who have held prototypes that a 10 inch Mac Tablet and/or large iPhone is on the way. According to them, the price point for this product will be anywhere from $500 to $1,000 and “the project is very real.”

They can’t tell us “where or who, but [someone] pretty high up at AT&T’s food chain” decided to spill the beans on the next iPhone, which is, wait for the big shock…better, faster, stronger, complete with more hand gestures. Here are the unaltered details, straight from the source…

Netbooks are the rage du jour among the geeky set: small and cheap, geeks have been figuring out how to tear them apart and modify them, even to the point of installing OS X on certain models by using modified install discs that are distributed as torrents. The technical problem with this (to say nothing of the legality) is that since the modifications alter the kernel; every time Apple upgrades the OS, it breaks the PC’s install. But now Gregory Cohen has figured out a way to install Mac OS X v10.5 using unmodified Leopard discs, which means if you’ve got an EEE PC (which is what he used) and legal discs, you can have a cheap, ultralight Mac netbook that can handle official Apple updates. Of course, you’re still violating the EULA.
