Guess Who's Going to Kick Off WWDC on June 7TH?

[Michael Essany]

Talk about bringing out the big guns for the start of the show!

Apple announced today that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will begin Monday, June 7 at 10:00 a.m. PST with a keynote address by CEO Steve Jobs. During his presentation, it is widely expected that Jobs will unveil the 4th generation iPhone. If so, he will have a sizable audience of developers in his midst. According to this morning's press release from Apple, this year’s WWDC sold out in record time. It took only eight days for some 5,000 developers to gobble up every seat in the house.

admin edit: including ours. Make sure you're checking in here that day - we'll be covering the keynote live from San Francisco!

This year's event will mark Steve Jobs' return to the WWDC stage, as the Apple head honcho was out on medical leave during the '09 conference. Next month, however, Jobs will not have to pass the exciting responsibility of rolling out a new iPhone to a colleague. Instead, he gets to run the show himself this time. As you may recall, it was Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook who introduced an upgraded model of the iPhone at the previous event.

Adding further excitement to the conference this year are the planned sessions on tap for WWDC 2010. They include: Application Frameworks; Internet & Web; Graphics & Media; Developer Tools; and Core OS. During the five-day event (June 7 - June 11) Apple engineers will serve up better than 100 solutions-oriented technical sessions and labs in order to give an "incredibly diverse community the opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow iPhone, iPad and Mac developers from around the world."

I really hope he's gonna whip out the new iPhone, I've been sitting on the edge of my seat since the prototype showed up :P

[I Am Zak]

This best be worth it!

[whereswaldo]

you seem surprised that steve is going, he only missed it once because of medical leave

[waheedtarin]

I really hope the iPhone comes out in June

[thetjshow]

[pnicelovnyc]

[nashlib]

Waiting patiently for the iPhone 4.... Yoda has patience but u never know it may run dry someday....

Anyway - hopefully Jedi knigt - Steve has some good force around him on the 7 th.

[tgabriel123]

I hope he anounces the iPhone 4g this year and not next like rumors iv heard, because my iPhone 3g has just about had it with life.

Are we gonna stream it or just a live blog ?

[extremzocker]

if the leaks are real the iPhone presentation is gonna be awkward.
"oh, and one more thing... the iPhone which you have already seen."

same here, i have waited long enough to get a new one, im planning on selling my 3G on ebay and using that to get the new one, only downfall is there is no coverage on the new phone and it wont be from the apple store, cause i already have a contract with att that wont end till next year.

Better hold on tight to your seat...you just might fall off...lol

[Fallguy]

How long after this announcement will this new phone be available is the question , I'm going on a 3 week Vacation on the 15th . Dont know if I can wait till I get back because they might be gobbled up by then . LOL.

p.s. I was lucky to get $300 for my 3G this week .

[TheDirtyDiddler]

I really can't imagine anything worthwhile enough coming to the 5th gen iPhone, if they make one next year. I think the 4g will be the one that breaks my continuous upgrade cycle.

I can't wait to sign a new 2 year agreement with a $350 cancellation fee!

I can't wait to sign a new 2 year agreement with a $350 cancellation fee!

You could always just buy the phone outside of a contract, no one is forcing you to agree to AT&T's terms. After all, Apple is the one charging you $700 for a phone, AT&T is paying half of that price for you if you sign up with them.

[rhekt]

im excited. wonder if it will be more than just the iphone being revealed?
