Jobs always keynotes WWDC. Sometimes there is a hardware announcement and sometimes not. There has been everything from no announcement at all to a new display to updated Powerbooks. It's completely up in the air if you ask me.
No new hardware until MWNY. Here's what Apple has to say:

The interesting thing is that they announced he will be previewing 10.2. Once again they have chosen to take a preemptive strike at rumors. The forums were just beginning to rumble about Jaguar actually shipping at WWDC. This is a new mode for Apple, and they are handling it artfully. Look at how they deflated the G5 at Tokyo rumors.
It means Steve Jobs will give a speech at WWDC. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
