With three weeks until Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, Think Secret has learned exclusively that CEO Steve Jobs will use his keynote address to announce the debut of movie rentals through the iTunes Music Store.

Think Secret - WWDC surprise: Apple to announce iTunes movie rentals
Nah, Can't see it myself. Apple seem to have set patterns for announcing products at different types of events and the WWDC just doesn't seem like the sort of event they'd announce this.

Expect the rumour machine to go into overdrive any time now!
