WWDC07 Starts Today
The Worldwide Developers Conference 2007 starts today. What is it and why do they expect people to pay so much money to attend?!
The WWDC is a conference for people who write software and manufacture accessories for Apple computers, but it also tends to be the place where important Apple products are announced.
All the Apple Addicts will be watching WWDC this year for tidbits of information about the iPhone. There were rumors that an announcement of the availability of the iPhone would be announced at WWDC (hopefully the day of the event), but the Apple commercials announcing a June 29th release date have put those rumors to rest.
Is it worth 16 hundred clams to attend WWDC if you’re just an Apple fan? Probably not. I suspect the cost for attending WWDC is artificially high to convince people to attend MacWorld instead.
Fortunately, the keynotes are usually available online, so if anything interesting happens, you don’t have to be in attendance to see it.
