Almost keeping with tradition from last year, where no sooner did we get the first generation of the iPad, we then saw an announcement about iOS 4 shortly thereafter. If the Google translation of a recent posting on German site Macerkopf.de is to be believed, April should bring us not only a glimpse of iOS 5, but also the long awaited MobileMe redo, again on the heels of an iPad release. For those playing the home game, last year's iOS 4 event happened on April 8th at Apple's headquarters.
The site is claiming they received a tip from a source that Apple will be hosting an early April media event to introduce iOS 5 and the new MobileMe service. The report alleges to Apple holding the event on their campus in the 14th or 15th week of the year, which would put us at the first or second full week in April.
As MacRumors notes, Macerkopf.de doesn't have much of a track record in terms of the rumor world, so anything should certainly be taken with a grain of salt.
