With everyone watching and waiting for WWDC news later today, I thought it might be fun to post a small collection of all those viral iPad videos which have popping up all over the internet in the last few weeks.

Yet more signs (if more are required) suggesting the next-model iPhone is on the way perhaps later today, US carrier AT&T has widened its upgrade eligibility scheme, opening up an upgrade opportunity for more existing users.

MacRumors tells us the new scheme means several readers who previously were ineligible to purchase a new subsidized iPhone now find that they are eligible.

Existing AT&T customers can check if they have seen their status change at http://wireless.att.com by clicking on “Check Upgrade Options” after they log in.

As in the example above, the new scheme could mean many customers can upgrade to a new phone much sooner at a lesser penalty.

AT&T continues to make moves seemingly preparing for a new model iPhone and more diverse carrier availability in the US.

Apple is about to begin new adventures in the user interface if the above and below images prove real.   That

On a lighter note this WWDC morning, here

WWDC 2010 eve is upon us and we’re getting pumped to see what Apple has on offer for us this year.  We have a pretty strong suspicion that a certain iPhone 4/HD will make an appearance.  Safari 5 sounds pretty likely with an update to 10.6.4 and Xcode as well.

Will we see a sneak peak at Mac OS 10.7?  With an XCode update, our hopes are high.

Mac hardware?  We’d love to see something but aren’t sure this is the right venue.  Mac Minis, MacBook Airs and Mac Pros are all “due”.

The same goes for AppleTV.  We’d love to see an answer to GoogleTV — a take 3– but we’re not sure Apple is ready with that one yet.

The star of the show will of course be iPhone OS 4.  Has Apple had enough time to integrate Siri voice recognition/Artificial Intelligence into the OS? Will we have video iChat?  So many questions…

And what will be the show stopper?  The stuff Jobs is talking about in all of those emails?  We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Oh, and of course we’ll try to have audio/video again this year – but no promises, OK?

What are the chances that Apple releases Android Boot Camp for iPhone tomorrow? ZERO. But here’s something fun to do with that old iPhone once you get your mugs on the iPhone 4/HD:

Talk about fragmentation! You’ll have a more recent version of Android than any shipping HTC or Motorola phone. P.S. Dude, get a better camera!

On the eve of WWDC 2010, we have more pictures of the next-gen iPhone, this time from Korea (these things get around!). You can see there are both black and white parts offering additional prospects of a white front-plated iPhone being introduced tomorrow. One more pic after the break.

MacGeneration reports that Apple is planning on a major update to Safari at this week’s WWDC.  Safari 5 will apparently include a Reader functionality that will make web page reading easier by extracting and organizing the text.  The search field will now include Bing as well as Yahoo and Google.

Safari 5 will render Javascript up to 25% faster bringing it in line with recent improvements to Chrome and Opera.  It will also include more DNS prefetching and caching to help with speed.  HTML5 support will also be improved. 

Safari Developer tools will also be improved with a new Timeline Panel with keyboard shortcuts.  There was no word on a possible Safari extensions API.

MacOS 10.6.4 is also ready to go with the following improvements:

If you are on your way to San Francisco for WWDC 2010 you might want to fire up your iPhone and download the official WWDC 2010 app from Apple.

Yeah, it is only for attendees – via MacStories.
