We still don't know exactly what it will look like, but depending on how flat it is that sounds just like Android.

Might be a mix, Android's black/white scheme with the perfectly flat Windows 8 design.

I imagine black and white wont be like windows phone, but will be more like the current iPod music app or the podcast app where they're dark and light, not completely flat, and still maintain shadows and gradients.

I think you're spot on. Also, refer to last year's WWDC app. Everyone thought there would be a more silver like UIKit coming, but that didn't happen.

I would guess that there was already pressure to remove some skeuomorphism at that point.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. A lot more like Android than Windows Phone. Android isn't pure black/white, but dark/light with hints at 3D while remaining very flat. http://i.stack.imgur.com/WYvUq.png
