this is great, Apple has been doing very well lately, so bravo for them! i still want them to redesign the macbook's hardware; i have been waiting and saving up....i already have an iPhone,so, i could care less about 3g, but whatever...
But I think it will be just the session videos that you have to pay for. I'm sure the keynote video will be free like the Macworld ones are.
Live coverage
MacRumors and other sites often have live text coverage/minutes, but Apple always posts the video feed later that afternoon for those who prefer to watch.

Because everyone can't wait to see the new macbook pros!!!
you guys just got touch pads,
it's MB and Mini's time- sorry!
<humor> What Apple neglected to mention is that they've moved WWDC to a small 15-person conference room on the Apple campus. </humor>
That is quite impressive. I wonder what percentage are new-to-Apple developers because of the iPhone, what percentage are long-time Mac developers who have never gone to a WWDC before, and what percentage are really non-developers willing to pay the large fee just to see the keynote?
Oh, and just to clarify...
Apple will likely release a video of the keynote presentation for free on iTunes as a 'podcast', as they have done with previous keynote presentations.
But the "video sessions" that are being referred to are the in-depth sessions designed for developers. The content of these sessions is covered by NDA, so these sessions will *NOT* be made public. Registered developers who have signed an NDA are allowed to purchase copies of these video sessions from the iTunes Store. (I believe they did this last year, too.) The sessions are small(er) presentations (usually) by programmers at Apple, not any of the 'big names', and are highly technical in nature. Basically, think of them like college lectures.

What if I don't wear pants? Maybe I'm a nudist.
Seriously, this is great news. Yay for Apple!

Why is this year's WWDC so popular? I mean, it's not like real developers actually care to learn about making iPhone web apps. And is their supposed to be a new iPhone or something?
I'll be there! Although at a sold out developer conference, I hate to think of the swarms around the chocolate candy table between sessions...
Perhaps Apple, with its multiple product lines, has more marketshare and mindshare that in past years. Or perhaps the market as a whole has grown.
!? I hope you are joking. Though I didn't see a wink anywhere I have to assume you are either being sarcastic or you've been completely out of touch.
The reason it is so popular this year isn't because "real developers care to learn about making web apps" it's because real developers will be able to learn about making real apps with the iPhone's SDK.
Now I know you knew this, but some of the slower kids here will think you are serious... right Doctor Q?
Considering that the iphone is a game changer for mobile computing i can understand why. Hopefully we'll be seeing a bunch of new Apps including either mobile iWork or an iPhone version of office mobile. They might also think about a new branding for the iPod touch and iPhone. They've gone well beyond their original scope.
I'll be going for the first time this year, and attending mostly the iPhone sessions. Really I'm only going because my company is ADC premier and it's a perk for me, but we may soon be working on iPhone apps.
