WWDC Sells Out for the First Time in History


Apple confirmed to Macworld that the 2008 Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) has sold out for the first time.

"Response to this year's WWDC has been off the charts and we are delighted with the show of enthusiasm and support from the developer community for the new iPhone SDK," Apple spokesman Bill Evans told Macworld. "The conference is now sold out. For those unable to attend WWDC, session videos will be available to purchase on iTunes shortly after the conference."


Apple declined to provide an exact tally for the record-breaking attendance. Certainly, opening the conference up to iPhone developers has increased interest in Apple's developer conference.

Amazing.


Btw, I switched to a mac back in August of 2007. Does macrumors have live coverage of WWDC? Or do I have to wait till later that day to know what happened?

That's ridiculous... that 3G iPhone has been hyped to the max!!!

That's cool they're posting to iTunes though... but still...

3G iPhone? iTablet? MacBook Pro? So Many Questions, So Few Answers!!!

Very encouraging. Can't wait till the new firmware and the Apps store launch within iTunes. Someone should do a sweepstake on how many apps will launch day. I'll be conservative and say between 45 and 60.

This could be good news for me. I program stuff mostly for personal use at work, but can't justify paying for the full dev program, or to go to WWDC. I've always been envious of the WWDC sessions/videos though as I gather they are pretty useful. Now I can watch them online, hopefully for not too much money.

@ callmemike20:
Yep, live coverage of Keynote usually. But not the rest of the sessions of course.
