WWDC 2009: The new products expected

All the tickets for the WWDC 2009 have been sold out since April 29. The 2009 edition sounds promising, and everyone remembers that the 2008 edition of the WWDC had seen the release of the iPhone 3G, of its OS 2.0, but also of the new service MobileMe. Apple will therefore have to do even better this year to surprise us.

 

As announced last week, Apple sent an e-mail to all the registered iPhone developers to tell them they could start testing their apps with the iPhone OS 3 Beta 5. Indeed, Apple has started validating it, and you can already submit your app on iTunes Connect.  

 

Besides, if the firmware 3.0 is released at the WWDC, it will be confirmed that Apple is indeed planning a yearly renewal for its smartphone. Indeed, the iPhone has been launched during summer 2007 then replaced by the iPhone 3G at the WWDC 2008. It is therefore much on June 8...

After the episode "Steve Jobs, his hormones and Apple’s head" during which the very charismatic iPapy has announced that he temporarily retired form the company he co-founded in 1976, we had been thinking that maybe Steve Jobs would never come back and definitely leave his seat to Tim Cook (Will Steve Jobs be back to head Apple ?). Today, things have changed apparently and the Wall Street Journal confirms his return, without giving any date though.

One thing is for (nearly) sure: if Steve Jobs comes back in June as he had announced it, he will surely do it at the WWDC. And why not do so directly on stage to announce the release of Snow Leopard and the iPhone 3G update?  

 

For those of you who couldn’t get tickets to enter the Moscone Center on June 8, The Digital Newsroom will be there to tell you live about all the announcements made at the WWDC 2009.
