Apple has posted the session and lab schedule for WWDC 2007. Also newly posted is information about the WWDC “Coding Headstarts.”
On Monday, June 11th, the Keynote Presentation is scheduled for three (3!) hours, from 9am-12pm PDT.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs WWDC 2006 keynote was scheduled for 10am-12pm, but only ran until 11:30am.
Apple must have a lot to talk about this year!
[UPDATE: 7:59pm EDT: Apple has revised the WWDC website which indicated the keynote speech would span three hours and is now reporting a keynote length of 90 minutes.]

3 hours? Man, there is going to be a lot of Leopard news.
“3 hours? Man, there is going to be a lot of Leopard news.”
Or not.
IPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone… Steve has taken speech lessons from Ballmer.
MDN MW: ‘figure’ as in “go figure”.
Oh…my…god…yesssss
3hours – Plenty of time to justify Leopard’s Jan ’08 release date.
Woo hoo! Leopard news!
Well they said they’d be showing a feature complete version so 3 hours seems about right.
Hopefully we’ll be able to get it via iTunes just like the ‘iPhoneWorld’ one.
Three hours along the theme of ‘Coding Headstarts’ ?!?
I hope Apples SkunkWorks have been working overtime down in that basement: maybe Leopards killer ‘secret feature’ is the ability to run Windows applications without needing a copy of M$ Windowzzzz….
Already running on Intel processors, can it be that much of a jump to write code similar enough to M$s to get PC apps to run on Macs?
I hope so.
Get ready to ‘duck and cover’ over at Redmond…
More effing iPhone hype & Bullshine.
For all of the hype, it’s still just a very damned expensive cell phone.
I’ve been taking dancing lessons from Ballmer’s teacher! We’ll see if I can match him come WWDC.
Steve Jobs rents his clothes, throws ashes on his head, prostrates himself, and repeatedly and tearfully pleads forgiveness two and one-half hours for unnecessarily raising consumer expectations and exaggerating Apple’s capacity to deliver products on time. Jobs sobs that “not being just a computer company is a lot harder than I imagined”. Following Job’s rambling rendering of regrets was his assurance that Apple would release a quad-core notebook with 1TB solid-state drive and a 300GB wireless touchscreen iPod by Christmas.
A lot of Leopard, a lot of iPhone, but also a lot of iLife and hopefully a lot of iWork!!!!!!
one more thing….
and yet another thing…
yes, i have a few more things…
I have a funny feeling that the day of the keynote there will be a run on office chairs in Redmond.
It may be that they’ll His Steveness will have: (1) Lots of software to introduce, (2) the final version of the iPhone to wave around and present, (3) a new generation of the iPod to crow over, (4) the success of the online music/video store to report on, (5) iTV and other advanced features to sing the praises of, and (6) major bumps in several Mac Lines to announce. That could take a while.
Hardware alone is screaming for some refreshes. The MacMinis are in desperate need of a bump-up (Apple had better quit waiting for me to buy a MacMini before they refresh the Line, because I’m not buying until they do), a form-factor upgrade is probably due on the Mac Pro as well as at least announcements on processor upgrades across the board, and a touch-screen interface for the MacBook Pro Line would make a lot of sense. A wider screen iPod may still be on the way, too … though more attention is being dumped into iPhone (obviously).
MDN Magic Word: “Stage” … as in “the stage is being set for momentous announcements.
Hope his clicker does not run out of batteries this time
OS X 10.6 Ocelot (as in, OS a lot). I’m not lion, sourpusses.
I hope there is a good way to watch the keynote before seeing any spoilers.
I like to watch it as it happens and not read about it first.
I end up trying to get to the Quicktime stream on Apple’s site without seeing the lower 2/3 of the monitor because whatever’s new will be on Apple’s page.
I think I’ll go bookmark the QT page and hope for the best.
With the iPhone, the stream was on a page with a big picture of the phone. Argh!
My high won’t last that long.
I’ll have to miss too many classes to watch this one.
Leadership failure my ass!!!
OS X
iPhone
maybe iLife or iWorks but I could see those tied to the Leopard launch
a few bits of new hardware, maybe SantaRosa MBP?
All the time I have spent on this website and still very few people see things clearly. Apple always has statements about their business that are extremely conservative. They always guide low, and report very high. So of course their timeline for Leopard would be a four month delay when only a few weeks was needed. There is a three hour keynote for a reason folks……Leopard. The iphone will take some time, and some new hardware/software…..but the big cat is what will be the focus of WWDC. With a July, August at the latest release……we cant have the kiddies going back to school without the new MacBooks (pros too) sporting that cute kitty ( insert cat line here, shaved or not)
Please start putting the puzzle peices together folks……Apple is bringing us into 3-D everywhere with Leopard, so please quit straining your brains with your 2-D thinking.
Thank you.
it better not be three hours of iPhone. Touch screens! Leopard hidden features! New MacBook/ MacBook Pros with touch screens! And new iPods, with touch screen and iPhone OS!
typhoon,
On Keynote’s Eve I like to set my homepage to the QuickTime site (normally it’s Apple’s Startpage), but then there’s that wait for them to put it up there, so I try and find something to keep me away from my machine until later that night when their server isn’t overloaded and to keep me away from going onto Mac news sites

Everything Apple’s needed to say about iPhone has more or less been said. The most there will be to talk about it will be the release and the carriers for Europe (or the UK, I forget who Apple hasn’t settled on).
The rest of the keynote will be all about Leopard, iLife, and iWork. Possibly some hardware updates, but this is a developer event folks; devs wanna see the new software they’ve only seen buggy betas of in its almost-finished form.
June 11th is going to be amazing. I can feel it.
