WWDC: iPhone Release Time, Developer Access
Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the end of the WWDC keynote that the iPhone would be released on June 29th at 6pm at AT&T and Apple Stores in the United States.
Also announced was that Apple was making it possible for developers to write small, Widget-like programs for the iPhone. A demonstration was given showing a corporate LDAP directory lookup application. All such applications will run within Safari to maintain the security of the iPhone.
The New York Times had previously reported that a developers kit would be forthcoming.
MacRumors would like to thank our sponsors, who made live coverage of the WWDC keynote possible.

Hopefully Apple can find a good and fair balance between letting developers have access to the iPhone while still retaining and ensuring quality control with the device.

6pm in what time zone? All of them?
Yeah, they've done this before with other product launches. The stores will have lines out front that will start to be let into the store at 6 (in whatever time zone...).

Steve Jobs spent an etire keynote reviewing the iPhone last time, he wasn't about to spend a ton of time on it again in this one. The information will be released soon, it's not like it had to be released at this specific keynote. :rolleyes: Patience is a virtue, just calm down and all will be well. :cool:
