Few more details were added about the MobileMe revamp, which is due this summer.
The new service would give users access to their iTunes libraries from, say, an iPhone or iPad, instead of requiring that the devices be synced by cable with a computer and use space to store the actual files, the people said. The new service likely would be compatible with the iPhone 4, one of the people said.
The newspaper states that users will be able to access their libraries without syncing their computer, where files would be served wirelessly!
There's been a lot of speculation that Apple might move towards cloud based music sync and services. Licensing issues are apparently holding up the debut of the service which was originally planned for last year.

The report also mentioned that Apple is exploring a major overhaul of its MobileMe online storage service.MobileMe is said to become a free locker for all of your personal media, which would allow Apple to provide less physical storage on their mobile devices.In addition, MobileMe could tie into Apple's rumored cloud-based music service.

Apple is planning to develop a smaller and cheaper iPhone priced at $200 without contract!
Just to help the company in its battle against Android in the smartphone market.
From the Bloomberg report
Apple Inc. is working on new versions of the iPhone that are aimed at slowing the advance of competing handsets based on Google Inc.’s Android software, according to people who have been briefed on the plans.
One version would be cheaper and smaller than the most recent iPhone, said a person who has seen a prototype and asked not to be identified because the plans haven’t been made public. Apple also is developing technology that makes it easier to use the iPhone on multiple wireless networks, two people said.
It is expected to be released by mid-year, but that's not sure yet.
Apple is also working on dual-mode iPhones that could operate on both GSM and CDMA networks.

Though iPad 2 is not released yet, but there are rumors that Apple is planning to release iPad 3 by September!
This rumor started when John Gruber said that the new HP tablet may run up against the third generation iPad
If my theory is right, they're not only going to be months behind the iPad2, but if they slip until late summer, they might bump up against the release of iPad 3.
However, Gurber continues by saying that his comment was just a guess..
Thus, my gut feeling is that Apple will move the iPad to a September release schedule, alongside the iPods. But they wouldn’t want to wait over a year and a half from the announcement of the original iPad to announce the second one — not with these stakes, and not with so many serious competitors trying their best to catch up.
But this guess was mentioned again by TechCrunch!
We’ve now heard that this “fall surprise” is related to this would-be iPad 3. We don’t have any more concrete information beyond that. But, as of right now, the plan is apparently to release one iteration of the iPad in the next few weeks. And then blow the doors open with another new version in the fall.
