There's also an "XPC and GCD lab" that's listed as both iOS and OSX.
GCD is on both platforms, but XPC isn't. XPC isn't that interesting on OSX, but it could be really interesting on iOS.
The session is scheduled for Tuesday (the day after the keynote), so I'm guessing XPC isn't going to stay limited to OSX or it wouldn't occupy such a prime slot.
and this does not? it reminds me of one of those early iPhone apps before devs got a grip of iphone app development in 2008. or AOL especially their aim services in 2001
but im not gonna complain until i see the real thing hopefully next week
Very annoying. Tried to search for it. I bet the guy with the 99c WWDC Checker app is going to make a couple extra bucks.
Yes it has changed exactly in the way we have been reading from the inside reports. It's TONED DOWN but still feels like iOS. The buttons are much flatter and there are not "buttons" just highlighted icons when you tap bottom bar.
Everyone expecting or flipping out over iOS 7 potentially looking like Windows 8 can CALM THE F DOWN. All they are doing is toning everything down while retaining the feel that everyone is used to. Which is perfectly fine. System wide this will be very big.

XPC is not interesting until management decides that 10.6 isn't supported anymore. At that point, it will be _very_ interesting.
If it is it's a small change.
I'm really hoping they move the current in app back arrow button and menu/options buttons to the bottom as I find it awkward to stretch my thumb up there on the iphone 5.
If they make an even larger handset it will be impossible to reach them one handed. The one smart thing android does is have them at the bottom of the phone.
+1
This app is doubleplusgood! Access to the past WWDC videos alone is great, these were previously available but relatively difficult to get to, this makes it very easy. And if we get fast access to the new session info and videos, it will be delightful.

Wow, i really love the look and feel! especially the calendar... really hope this is a sign of things to come!
The Keynote is public - that's where they unveil the new stuff, and everyone will see it. The rest of the conference is for developers. It is all tech, where they flesh out the programming details on new stuff, and refresh and update the old.
It really isn't that different, the 'buttons' were just icons in the old version as well, it was just inverted when selected instead of blue.
Yeah I know it's not really true that XPC isn't interesting on OSX.
Anyway, there are a few interesting-looking XPC talks.
There was this RemoteViewController thing found in iOS6 that suggests better inter-app communication could be on the way, but it relies on XPC. Obviously it's far from a confirmation, but what I can see on the schedule is what I would expect if XPC were coming to iOS.
It would be by far the biggest thing for developers to care about. They'd care about RemoteViewControllers first, and XPC in general possibly for inter-app communication outside of just view controllers.
What I can see on the Tuesday is a bunch of TBAs in the morning (that would possibly be RVC), and the more in-depth stuff in the afternoon with sessions like "Efficient design with XPC" and "XPC and GCD Lab".
Excited. Make it happen, Apple!
It's not like Apple needs to hold anything back to make those tickets more attractive. They announced the whole video thing to slow demand in the first place.
The old versions actually looked like buttons, here that sense of a pressed button has been changed to it just being highlighted.
As always various websites will be doing live streams of it, posting pictures and currently whats happening on stage. I now have an iPad and will be at work which will make it easier to view since I can just look at my iPad.
In anyones experience of doing so, anyone recommend a specific site that does a live stream that works well with the iPad?

Most of the sites (Including MacRumors) now use modern web coding for their live streams, that worked quite well (in the past) with iOS devices.
