Speculation that there's going to be something coming out to coincide with this:

New store layout? New hardware? Sales?

Who else can get the rumour mill whipped up like Apple?

If there's one thing Apple know it's how to build mystery and suspense!

Hmmmm interesting. iPhone 5 demo units in store maybe?

Alpherah · 17 May 2011 at 12:24

Macbook and / or Macmini refresh + some limited edition 'anniversary' things like shirts .. etc

Skully · 17 May 2011 at 12:48

Lion?

Somnambulist · 17 May 2011 at 13:00

A new battery charger?

HEADRAT · 17 May 2011 at 13:49

Their "Cloud" music offering!

Somnambulist · 17 May 2011 at 14:08

I think this might be the unveiling of the revamped MobileMe.

I hope it's something to do with the revamped mobileme...

New iPad holder?

Hopefully it will be phone related but more likely the cloud music service as someone said.

I think it's a good bet, it was originally pegged for April, it seems like it's going to be brand new rather than just making the existing, paid-for MM free, which would explain any 'gigabyte of training material'.

Evernote wirelessly syncs my notes, so no reason why my calendar/contacts etc shouldn't!

If it is a new MobileMe it better not be a faff to set it all up again. And it better make deleting information off MobileMe easier. When turning off sync, I disable and de-register, then open MobileMe in a web browser, navigate to iDisk, library, Application Support, SyncServices, Schemas. Only then will you know what has or hasn't been properly deleted via un-syncing from your computer. Dependent on what devices you have sync'd and in what order you've de-registered depends on whether or not there's information still there. If information remains, you have to register your device, over-write what's still on mobileme with information from your device, then de-register and delete again, then refresh and continue to refresh until all information in that folder is gone. It took me three times to erase it last time.

Unless you can mount your idisk folder and manually delete everything in the Schemas folder. Though I haven't tried. You can't do it through the mobileme webpage anyway.

Pretty sure at this point that a fairly major change in how the stores are run is going to happen... Heard rumours of the Genius Bar disappearing and geniuses being on the shop floor with everyone else, it's really looking like all employees will have an iPad about their person at all times and loads of stuff about various store apps for them to use.

Weird. Could be quite good though. It's big either way from what apparently has been going on.

Apple are taking Genius bar appointments for sunday and monday so, I would be suprised if that is the case.

It's got to be something big and cool, moneys on Lion, mainly as they did the imac update a few weeks ago so why didnt they delay that for this to join in with other hardware...
