WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2006

Apple announced today that the WorldWide Developer's Conference will be taking place between August 7-11 in San Francisco, California.

Last year, WWDC attendees watched Apple unveil its plan to transition to Intel microprocessors and then headed to the lab to run their code on Intel-based prototype systems. This immediate, hands-on access to the newest Apple technologies happens for developers at WWDC and nowhere else.


WWDC is a conference targeted at professional developers, however, Apple has made a number of significant announcements during the WWDC keynote speech over the past few years. August represents a change for the conference, which has typically taken place in June.

Apple has stated that they will be previewing Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) at WWDC 2006.

Christmas comes late, this summer:

Aug 7-11.

That makes a Leopard preview a sure bet in my book (hopefully some without non-disclosures!) and I have visions of Conroe towers too...

As much as I understand their reasoning, I really wish they would stop moving WWDC all over the place. First May, then late June, then early June, now August? :confused:

Time to go figure out a new trip itinerary... :rolleyes:


(Having said that, we'd better get beta copies of Leopard.)

Wow a little late but at least I will be out of school instead of taking my exams.:(

edit: Maybe they want to time it with the conroe chips?

Well WWDC is the best bet for when the Intel PowerMacs will be released. I was hoping to get one for my birthday (which is only a few days after the event). If they do release them then, I just hope we don't have long to wait before they are in the shops (like with the MacBook Pro) so I can get one in time. :D

Hopefully by that time, someone will have found a decent solution to running Windows on Intel Macs so I can get rid of my current AMD PC.

Oh goody! I have 153 days to save up for something awesome.

Well, unless something awesome is released on April Fool's Day...

I would bet money that Steve announces and introduces the new Intel PowerMac and new MacBook Pro's (12or13 & 17)...completing the line-up. Announced in August...shipped 30-60 days later.
(Other macs will be intro'd before then)

I'm sure these dates are due to some hardware release. Anyone interested in a new Intel PowerMac? Err, uh, Mac Pro? MacTower Pro? MacBox Pro?

Hopefully that means the 12" & 17" MacBook Pros will be coming out before WWDC.

Or maybe the date is based on when some of the more important UB's will finally be available?

I pray for MacPros and a Leopard preview, and one more thing...

The other MacBook Pros will probably be announced a month give or take before WWDC and the PowerMacs at WWDC.
