Apple today announced that CEO Steve Jobs will kick off its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address beginning at 10:00am on Monday, June 11, 2007 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. At WWDC, Apple plans to show developers a feature complete version of Mac OS X Leopard and give them a beta copy to take home for final testing. Leopard is scheduled to ship in October.
The five-day event, scheduled to run from June 11 to June 15, will deliver more than 150 sessions and labs aimed at getting the most out of Leopard. The conference will also include new content to serve a wide range of developers, including Mac OS X Immersion Monday, designed to quickly get developers who are new to the Mac up to speed; a content and media track that shows developers the best ways to integrate animation, motion graphics, video, rich-media and web-based content into their applications; and dozens of hands-on labs that offer a unique opportunity to work directly with Apple engineers.
Other activities at Apple’s WWDC 2007 include:
• presentations from Apple engineers who will provide an in-depth look at Leopard, from its open source foundation to new technologies and innovations like Xcode 3.0, Dashcode, Core Animation, Time Machine, iChat Theater and more
• practical hands-on sessions where attendees can learn Apple’s own coding strategies and techniques for creating Cocoa bindings, building Automator actions and integrating iCal events into an application
• technology labs where attendees can work one-on-one with Apple engineers on topics such as Cocoa, Open GL and AJAX
• special events, including the Apple Design Awards and Stump the Experts
The five-day conference costs $1,595 per attendee, with a $300 Early Registration Discount that has been extended through May 11.

“Apple plans to show developers a feature complete version of Mac OS X Leopard and give them a beta copy to take home for final testing”
secret features here we come!!!
Who cares? I want to know what coming after Leopard.
Perhaps — and refreshingly — it won’t be named after a German tank.
Yes, now that Vista has shipped, there should be no reason not to reveal the secrets within Leopard. The reasoning before was so that their competitor’s wouldn’t copy them… Man, come to think of it, if Apple did release the secret features, MS probably might have been, “Ohh … we need to do that, too! Stop the presses!” and perhaps postponed Vista… even more! haha.
Ummm – Cutting Edge? I think it is named after a jungle cat. I think the cat came before the tank. Now, if they’d called it Panzer or something, it might bother me.
So the dates are set:
11 June – Developers receive Leopard Beta
12 June – Bittorrent users receive their copies
12 June – Bittorrent users receive their copies with a special bonus of 27 minutes of Forrest Hump and Sweet Bone Alabama mixed in at random.
Rancher, this is one of many stories on Jobs’ passion.

As far as what they call Leopard, I’ll settle for “delivered”.
You forgot June 13. That’s the day micro$oft starts their copy machines for Vista SP 1!
“Just two more things!”
1) A new mini.
2) A new iMac.
Interesting take, Cutting Edge. But – I dunno – I mean we could go after car companies for the same thing. Although I dread the possible link one could make between Hemi and – ahh – never mind. I guess I just keep cats in mind – first time the German armament connection every entered my thought process. I must be one of them innocent fools.
So Steve Job’s keynote is from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Wasn’t it supposed to be longer?

Let’s hope SJ doesn’t do a ‘”10% Mac / 90% iPhone event”.

Reliable as a German tank. Nice
We all know that Apple will release its new operating system. What about new hardware?
SECRETS, LET LOOSE THE SECRETS!
Focus on Leopard? Not iPhone? Good. Apple needs to emphasis OS X and the Macs now that they’re selling like hot cakes.
Flying cars running Leopard.
In June, I am planning on purchasing two iphones, and a Mac Mini.
Depending on whether or not they update it, I may also jump on board for a Macbook Pro.
Revisions will be very welcome.

I agree with NeverFade – now that Vista’s out, no need to hide the secrets any more.
Is there really a movie called Sweet Bone Alabama?
“Is there really a movie called Sweet Bone Alabama?”
Yes, R2. And it stars Grease Dithers Poon.
Don’t forget “Shaving Ryan’s Privates” and “Rambone.”
“Who cares? I want to know what coming after Leopard.”
Mac OS XI VISTA
“”Ohh … we need to do that, too! Stop the presses!””
Any you wonder why Leopard is delayed? Oh Crap, Microsoft just shipped an OS with all our “Secret” features and then some…
