Apple releases WWDC details
Still three months away, Apple announced Monday some, but of course not all, of the details regarding its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
Set to be held in San Francisco from June 11-15, the agenda will focus on three key areas: Leopard, the next generation of OS X due out this spring; a Mac immersion track for experienced developers new to the Mac platform; and media and content delivery, which will teach developers how to incorporate videos and podcasts into Mac applications.
Last year's event featured developers from 45 countries and more than 4,000 attendees, said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations. This year Apple is anticipating an even bigger crowd, he said.
What kind of surprises, if any, can attendees expect this year? The infamous iPhone is expected to be released in June, but when asked about any more potential iPhone announcements at WWDC, Okamoto would only say, "We've announced it's releasing in June, and we're not saying anymore about it."
