Apple announced their much-rumored in-house Maps application at WWDC today.

Maps includes a lot of great new features, including 3D buildings, turn-by-turn navigation, local search with some back-up from Siri.  Maps also includes live traffic information that's anonymously crowd-sourced from iPhone and iPad owners. The live traffic data will also update your estimated time of arrival as you progress on your journey. Your navigation view will also show on the lock screen which is really nice. Asking your iPhone "are we there yet?" will even work through Siri, but you'll likely be spending more time using Siri for local search, such as to find the nearest gas station.

Photo Stream will be getting an update in iOS 6 that will allow you to share images from your Photo Stream directly friends, family, or whoever you choose in just a few taps. They'll also be able to comment and like your photos without ever leaving the Photos app.

A new trick in Safari for iOS 6 announced at WWDC 2012 today was Smart Banners. These are clever little banners that slide down from the top of a screen and offer those browsing from an iOS device the ability to launch directly into an app or download it from the App Store.

Eyes Free, just announced at WWDC 2012 will allow Siri to integrate directly into your car so you can keep your hands on the wheel. Apple has already partnered with several car manufacturers to bring Eyes Free to market.

iOS 6 was announced at WWDC today, including a new version of Siri with a heavy emphasis on sports, restaurants and movies. You can now ask for and receive tailored information about sports scores and stats on players.

This is it iMore nation, in just a few hours Apple will be holding the WWDC 2012 Keynote and we'll find out what they have in store for iOS 6, iCloud, and more! So this is your last chance -- what do you want to see from WWDC?

Give us you final predictions, your last, best hopes and dreams. If you were writing the script for the biggest Apple show of the year, what would it be?

Links for [iOS 6 beta]( have been found online ahead of the expected official announcement tomorrow at WWDC. While the links aren't yet active, it gives us an idea of what iOS devices will be supported and it looks like Apple may be dropping support for the original iPad.

We're about as ready as we'll ever be for WWDC next week, and though the announcement of iOS 6 was actually little more than a safe bet so far, banners at the Moscone Center confirm that Apple will be announcing their next-generation mobile operating system next week. It's being labeled as "the world's most advanced mobile operating system" and comes along with a new fingerprint-styled icon.
