Follow the jump for the best nuggets of prognostication, pulled from AppleInsider's account...


•OSX Leopard release will happen on June 11 and will mean $50 to $75 million extra dollars of revenue per quarter
•iPhone will launch in late June, and could earn Apple $200 to $300 per new subscriber (way above typical per-subscriber earnings)
•In August or September, Apple will release a nano with 12 to 16GB of flash memory for $249
•At that same time, it will release a video iPod with an iPhone-style touchscreen, also for $249
•Gardner also said that Mac sales this quarter will be 30% higher than they were last year, and iPod sales will be up 27%

Too bad Gardner didn't have any good news for his own company, Citigroup, which announced today that it will have to cut 17,000 jobs and move 9,700 people as part of a $4.6 billion dollar cost cutting effort.–Wilson Rothman

Now Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung says Dell will offer an AMD-based desktop in September:

"Citigroup Investment Research has confirmed from industry sources that Dell will offer an AMD based desktop in September of this year. No details of box configuration are available. We note that AMD has recently expressed confidence that they will gain share in the second half of the year, and we point to this win as the basis for this confidence."
We've been noticing behind the scenes some uncharacteristic belt-tightening going on internally at Dell. To save even more money, now the company can pit AMD and Intel against each other for an internal price competition between suppliers. Sounds just like Dell, inside and out. – Charlie White
