Apple is to host a presentation next Monday, June 6, at the Worldwide Developer's Conference to unveil its next iteration of it's iOS operating system, along with a a new iCloud service.

While the ongoing iOS upgrade was expected (although rolling in shortly after the iOS4 that came with the iPhone 4's release) the iCloud is an unknown commodity. The name might suggest a universal storage setup that lets iOS users save their wares remotely.

And in a rather ballsy move, the presentation kicks off at 10am PST, running nose to nose with Microsoft's own E3 conference. Could Apple be pulling something else out of its sleeve?
