WWDC Scheduled for Second Week of June?

MacRumors · Mar 6, 2009, 04:22 PM

David Zeiler of The Baltimore Sun points out that the event schedule for the Moscone Center in San Francisco is listing a "Corporate Meeting" running from June 6th through June 12th in Moscone West and speculates that this event is Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2009.

While Apple has historically varied the dates of WWDC from as early as May to as late as August, WWDC has been held on the second full work week of June each of the past two years. Several days ago, MacDailyNews pointed to a similar "Corporate Meeting" scheduled for May 16th through May 22nd and speculated that it may represent WWDC, but that event is no longer appearing on the Moscone Center's calendar.

Zeiler speculates that Mac OS X Snow Leopard will be released at WWDC. This would certainly not be a surprise, as Apple announced at last year's WWDC that Snow Leopard would ship in "about a year".

As additional evidence for a Snow Leopard release at that time, Zeiler points to several listings on Amazon.com for Snow Leopard-related books scheduled for release from mid-June through July. In our experience, however, neither Amazon nor publishers have any particular advance notice about software release dates, and the publication dates for their related books are merely based on "best guesses".

WWDC also seems to be the perfect time to ship SL because of all the developer goodies the new technology brings. Can't wait!

looking forward to it!

Mintin8 · Mar 6, 2009, 04:26 PM

Wow this should be a good one! I can't wait to see what Apple has got in store for us! Lets hope these months pass fast!

Interesting. The return of Steve Jobs?

carfac · Mar 6, 2009, 04:30 PM

If SL is it, it looks to be a rather dull show.

Yawn.

Solemony · Mar 6, 2009, 04:31 PM

Can't wait! Hopes Snow Leopard is out at that time

I think an announcement with the release at the end of the month seems more plausible.

I think this too.

We could see:

New Cinema Displays
Snow Leopard preview
iPhone 3.0
Steve Jobs

Link? Source? Evidence?

I hope we don't have to wait that long. The MR Buyer's Guide already says "Don't Buy - Updates soon" based on the schedule of previous releases. I wonder what would prevent Apple from having new displays ready well before June.

So....

You have no sources, evidence, links, or tangible reasons?

Nice.

If he wasn't coming back, the shareholders have a legal right to know. The board would be sued.

iMacmatician · 05:47 PM

I (and most others) stick to what Apple has said (which is all we know so far) until enough evidence is accumulated otherwise.

I have an opinion like everyone else, and every right to express it. I'm sorry if it bothers you that I do not believe for one minute that Jobs will ever be back, but thats really really really....too bad.

And your opinion is based on no evidence, otherwise known as 100% pure speculation.

I thought it very ballsy and innovative for Apple to spend a year of development on performance and not features (ie, Leopard to Snow Leopard).

I'd really like to see more companies focus on such things, and I'd really like to reward Apple for their efforts by upgrading. However, if I'm being totally honest, I have to say that Leopard runs awesome on my MacBook. It will be hard to justify $150 (CAD) upgrade when everything is already running great.

How, it wouldn't take much of a feature to make me upgrade but I think they have to give me something more that just a performance hike. Even just a sexy new look and feel would probably do the trick for me.

I'm running the developer build on my developer build and the performance increase is insane. Just wait until you try iy you will want to spend the 150.

Will snow leopard bring performance/speed upgrades and multi-core support for the 32 bit core duo processors? as in those on the 1st gen intel macs?

Is it going to run on Core Duo systems? Probably yes. Are you going to see performance gains? Probably no. Real performance gains will be seen on 64-bit systems, especially those with 4 or 8 or more cores.

One of my teachers at school was telling me that his girlfriend works for a company who make phone camera parts. Apparently, they have had an orde from apple for millions of parts for the end of may
