WWDC 2009 Session Videos Now Available for Purchase

Friday July 17, 2009 12:49 pm PDT by Eric Slivka

Apple today notified registered developers that session videos from Apple's 2009 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) are now available for purchase and download. Individual iPhone and Mac packages are available for $299 each, with a combined package of all videos priced at $499. The packages offer videos of the presentations and Q&A portions of each session, along with corresponding slides and sample code.

Because the material covered in the presentations is subject to Apple's non-disclosure agreements, purchasers are required to be either registered iPhone developers or members of Apple's free ADC Online program at a minimum. ADC Premier and conference attendees can access the videos free of charge.

Apple also warns that customers will need approximately 17 GB of free disk space for the iPhone videos and 13 GB for the Mac videos.

Has the release of videos always been this late? Maybe 2008 was released later, like in October 2008....

Is there any chance that we could get it in a cheaper price? or even free?

These sessions used to be free. Now Apple is charging an outrageous price for them.

Not gonna happen.

Last year, there were three tracks: iPhone, Mac, and IT. The videos were priced at $499 each or $999 for all three. So this is an improvement. :)

I know they've charged since at least 2007, but I think before then the free ones were just available to ADC Select and Premier members, not just anybody willing to sign up for a free ADC Online account. I could be wrong about that though.

By "iPhone videos" he was referring to the subject matter of the videos (iPhone development) rather than the format of the videos.

Has anyone seen/purchased these videos this year or in the past? I am wondering if there is really any novel information or insight in them or if its just standard info you can get elsewhere.

You're correct. I was looking back to 2007. Didn't buy any of them since I used to get them for free.

I don't think they mean iPhone versions, but the iPhone session videos... Whether you do/don't want to put them on your iPhone is up to you though :)

That's what I was thinking. Why would the iPhone version take up more space? Unless its a ploy to make you buy the 32 GB model 0_o
