Apple has done an extremely odd move today, it for once has completely broken its secrecy to a main event.

Normally Apple events are deep secrets until the event but not this time.

A PR statement from Apple today confirms Mac OS X Lion 10.7, iOS 5 for iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad, and iCloud for WWDC 2011. Meaning all 3 will launch on June 6, 2011.
