10 days till Mac Pro debut? And Apple TV and of course, the iPhone

WWDC is only 10 days away, and I’m hearing that not only will Apple debut the new iPhone, but a new Apple TV which will run on the iPhone hardware and have a cloud based streaming of 1080p content. 

The Apple TV set top box reportedly based on iPhone OS 4, powered by Apple’s custom-built A4 processor, and offering 1080P cloud-based streaming content — all starting at just $99.

But I’m most excited about the announcement of a new Mac Pro which I hope to be getting asap.  The MacBook Air will also get an update.
