I think (with iPhone 4S) they're moving the release schedule to the autumn.
WWDC has never been the release date for iPhones.
All iPhones prior to the 4S has been announced at WWDC and then released ~1 month later.

#33The logo hints at differently sized apps or elements - I'm thinking of something retina/resolution independence related.
Retina display MacBooks and iMacs, for example.

#35Any guesses about an iPhone 5 being released there?
I think it's safe to say that the LACK of perennial rumors and leaked parts means last year's fall release is now a tradition and not just a one-time-thing.
There's apparently a parts supplier already selling the new home buttons: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/23/next-generation-iphone-p...
Which is a bit of a conundrum. If the new iPhone were to be released in June, you'd expect there to be more noise on the channel by now. But if it's coming in October, it's far too early for new parts to be in production.
I suppose the most plausible explanation is that it's a button for a knockoff product.

The tickets are always going to be on sale at a bad time somewhere in the world.

Alternatively - this ensured everyone in the community got a ticket, because everyone was calling everyone to let them know that tickets were on sale. Not great for the isolated developer - but, with only 4500 or so seats available - somebody is going to be left out.
Edit: Okay - perhaps "everyone" is a bit of a reach. Let's just say there was a _bias_ towards people in the community, as their friends and colleagues started SMSing them and calling them to purchase tickets. Though, there will clearly be an east coast / european bias this year - perhaps that was deliberate?

It does look like Apple TVs. It also looks like multi-colored and multi-sized iPhone home buttons. But that might just be me projecting my own desires. ;)
It looks like a bunch of app icon silhouettes
I think this is the most likely. Apple is steadily pushing the iOS UI elements into the "wider" MacOS platform. This is evident from the last few changes to the Cocoa APIs and the recent requirements for Applications available on the Mac App Store. Desktop applications are increasingly going to be Appified.

They picked the time in a way that it was night across the Pacific (where nearly no one lives). That way it was a bit late in Japan and a bit early on the West Coast.
The world doesn't start and end with the West Coast, especially not for Apple (and those on the West Coast are the best connected anyway, the most likely to learn quickly about the WWDC).
