WWDC 2011 Possibly Scheduled for June 5-9

AppleInsider is speculating that WWDC this year will be held between June 5th through the 9th. They are citing an unspecified "Corporate Meeting" at the Moscone West center scheduled for those dates, which is typically where Apple has held past WWDC events.

This seems reasonable given that for the past 4 years, WWDC has typically been during the first or second week in June. For the last 3 major iPhone releases, Apple has made the official announcement at the keynote of WWDC on the first Monday of the event. Thus, it's possible they will announce the "iPhone 5" on Monday, June 5 at 10:00 AM PST.
