WWDC 2010 Sells Out In 8 Days

[MacRumors]

Apple has updated their WWDC website to indicate that the event has sold out. The event took only 8 days to sell out after being officially announced last week.

WWDC 2010 will take place June 7-11 and is expected to focus intensively on the iPhone OS platform. Apple is widely expected to introduce its new iPhone hardware during a keynote address at the event, although the device has already received considerable publicity since Gizmodo published details on one lost by an Apple employee in a California bar.

This is the third straight year that Apple's WWDC conference has sold out, with the streak beginning in 2008.

Who is going from MR?

I cant wait to see how Jobs handles the intro

 

[CFreymarc]

... and across the country, several hundred software engineers -- if not a thousand or so -- are screaming at their purchasing department as they followed their internal billing cycle to approve this request.

Try to budget for a petty cash fund next year boys and girls!

Big kudos to the iPhone OS platform for making WWDC such a success. WWDC never used to sell out, and then the year of the app store it has it's first sellout, and now it sells out in 8 days.

The Spice Girls sold out their 1998 Madison Square Garden gig in 12 minutes.

Yeah, that will be really funny I can't imagine Apple to not mention the leak.

I can Guess a few people who arent going this year

 

[Aldaris]

I guess this is why they are focusing on iPhone OS (a door to mac development)...

 

[JesterJJZ]

They need to have a bar scene setup on stage. Have a bar stool with the new iPhone sitting on it. Then Steve Jobs comes on stage and "finds" it.

"What's this?"

8 days doesn't sound that great, perhaps the leaked iPhone put a damp on things.

Trying not to sound stereotypical, but I sure hope it supports CDMA! Especially after the legit iPhone in China apparently being CDMA.

Last year it took over a month to sell out, so 8 days is pretty quick.

Wishful thinking.

Looks like a lot of Flash developers need to learn Cocoa Touch.

 

[wjlafrance]

Wishful thinking.

Three ounces.

 

[NebulaClash]

Not bad considering everybody is now boycotting Apple dev work since Jobs is the new enemy of freedom, or whatever it is th e trolls here have been saying.

Was just wondering that, thanks.

 

[bigjnyc]

Is the keynote usually on the first day? or does it vary?

Yep, 1st day.

 

[Revelation78]

I wonder if Gizmodo will be there?

I'd love if Steve pulls out the phone to demo it, with video chat being first. Who better to be on the other end but Gray Powell at a bar?

 

[TheOrioles33]

It would be funny if Steve talks about the leak and all and then say "well now let me introduce the REAL 4th gen iPhone" and it looks nothing like the leak.

 

[Liam8]

The banner they made this year is so sick!

It would be a hoot if he called up Gray via video chat and gave him the sack.
