Apple WWDC 2011：將發表 Lion、iOS5、iCloud

Apple 每年一度最受矚目的盛會：Apple WWDC（Worldwide Developers Conference，全球開發者大會）即將於 6/6 正式展開，不過有別於以往的神祕，這一次蘋果在開展之前，罕見的發表新聞稿，先講了今年的 WWDC 會發表什麼東西，以平息外界的猜測。

今年的 WWDC 主題演講，會於美國太平洋時間 6/6 早上 10 時舉行（台北時間 6/7 凌晨 1 時），執行長 Steve Jobs 確定會出席並主持演說，並且會發表許多產品，包括下一代的 Mac OSX Lion，以及已經流傳多時的 iOS 5，另外還會發表 iCloud，這是蘋果最新的雲端服務，一般認為它會用來取代現行的 MobileMe。不過，這一次的 WWDC 主題演說會不會有「One More Thing」-- 也就是 iPhone 5？目前還不清楚，不過以蘋果以往喜歡給人驚喜的前例來看，大家或許也可以抱著一點希望。以下提供蘋果的英文新聞稿。
