In less than 2 hours Steve Jobs will take the stage in San Francisco to give his keynote speech at the Apple WWDC 06.

Everybody is of course excited to learn if there are more new things than the OS X Leopard. With the options irregularities issue hanging in the air, a cool new product announcement would draw away the attention from it - at least for a while.
On the other hand, why dilute the Leopard preview and announcements?

Keynote is over. Summary:
Intel Mac Pro, Intel Xserve and Leopard preview. No new iPods, no bloody iPhone, etc.

We will post the highlights of Steve Jobs' Keynote below as they become available. For live coverage we recommend:
