Market sources say that Apple could announce their next operating system release (Mac OS X 10.6) at the upcoming World Wide Developer Conference.
World Wide Developer Conference is scheduled to take place in San Francisco and the company is also rumored to be planning to launch the second generation Apple iPhone.
In the "20 percent time" that Google employees have to work on projects of personal interest, it turns out that an increasing number are spending time writing open-source projects for their beloved Macs.
According to Mike Abramsky of RBC, "entry iPhone model or an unusually low price for the near-certain 3G model could accelerate Apple's sales growth between 50 to 100 percent -- enough to boost the financial institution's earlier forecasts of 14 million units in calendar 2008 to between 20 and 25 million, doubling again in 2009 to as many as 40 to 50 million phones."
According to AppleInsider, developers wishing to release software applications for the iPhone and iPod touch for free are being encouraged by Apple to charge a fee instead.
