There will be no sneak peek of the next iPhone or iPad, just iOS 5 demonstrated on iPhone 4 variants. Mac OS X Lion and iOS 5 are reported to have some kind of integration with each other through the iCloud. Special apology to Phil and Scott for not acknowledging you two as the one who told me about the next iPhone that might not be an iPhone 5, because they are not the source I was told that it’s dubbed as iPhone 4.5 (it’s a trap?).
