Apple finally revealed the dates of its Worldwide Developers Conference 2009 or WWSD 2009. Traditionally, the WWDC, which is now THE event for the Apple watchers, is being held in the first week of June. In 2009, the conference will kick off on June 8 and will end on June 12 at Moscone Center, West, San Francisco.
There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the event with many analysts expecting the famed Apple CEO Steve Jobs to make an appearance, while there are also many industry experts who believe that Jobs won’t show up. At the WWDC 2008, Steve Jobs did not attend, but sent a note instead explaining that his absence was due to health issues. The Apple CEO suffers from pancreatic cancer.
The WWDC features a series of technical sessions, lab sessions with Apple engineers and researchers and other hi-tech-related events. This year, the main focus of the conference’s agenda will be on the upcoming and the iPhone OS 3.0 that was announced a few weeks ago by the software developer.
Apart from the buzz surrounding the unveiling of the OS X Snow Leopard, there are numerous rumors about a hardware-updated iPhone or iPod Touch, touchscreen Tablet, or 10-inch touch screen netbook that may launch at the WWDCC. There are also rumors that Snow Leopard will also be optimized for the ultra-low powered ARM processors.
New versions of iPhone are usually announced at the WWDC, so there’s a really big chance of a new iPhone unveiling this year in June.
