Here is just another reason Apple’s market share is multiplying like rabbits or coat hangers. The WWDC is sold out!! As reported by AppleInsider the developer conference scheduled for July 9-11 in San Francisco, CA. is sold out for the first time.
Attendance at the event has rapidly grown as interest in the Mac platform has snowballed in proportion to rapid new sales of Macs.
Build It and They Will Come
This year however, WWDC is expanding to address the new iPhone mobile WiFi platform, an new expansion Apple illustrated in WWDC marketing with a photoshopped doubling of San Francisco’s landmark Golden Gate Bridge.
At last year’s event, which focused on the then yet unreleased Mac OS X Leopard, Apple unveiled a preliminary web-based development program for the iPhone, which resulted in some howls of protest from developers who wanted to tap into the full features of the device rather than just offer server side custom web applications.
Since then, Apple released the iPod touch and then promised a full Software Development Kit for both devices based on the same Cocoa development tools as Mac OS X. Interest in developing applications for the iPhone and iPod touch kicked into overdrive in February as Apple outlined plans to securely host developer’s signed applications in the iTunes Store and offer direct wireless downloads from the devices via a new App Store icon.
This type of event and others like it continue to show that Apple truly is innovating and leading the market place. I look forward to seeing what happens at this one. Rumors are swirling about a new iPhone and 3G capabilities. Now that’s something to hope for!
