If it wasn’t already clear, Apple’s official WWDC announcement establishes the iPhone as the next great mobile device platform. The release states-
This year ‘s WWDC will showcase two revolutionary development platforms, the ground-breaking innovations of OS X Leopard® and OS X iPhone™, the world ‘s most advanced mobile operating system.
New at this year’s Conference will be a 2nd track devoted to the iPhone which will-
…enable mobile developers to work side by side with Apple engineers to create amazing applications that leverage iPhone ‘s revolutionary Multi-Touch™ user interface, animation technology, rich set of APIs, including programming interfaces for Core OS, Core Services, Media and Cocoa® Touch technologies, built-in three axis accelerometer and geographical location technology to deliver truly innovative mobile applications.
As WWDC get closer and closer (but NOT CLOSE ENOUGH) it is becoming clearer and clearer that, on one level, the last year might be considered a “trial run”. Why?
Because the OS X iPhone 2.0 software, which includes the iPhone SDK and Apple’s new App Store will transform the iPhone and the iPod Touch into all-but new device.
Among the events at WWDC will be–
* presentation sessions led by engineers that provide an in-depth look at OS X iPhone, OS X Leopard and innovative tools and technologies such as the iPhone SDK, Cocoa Touch, Interface Builder, Xcode® and more;
* practical hands-on sessions where attendees can learn Apple ‘s own coding strategies and techniques;
* technology labs where attendees can work one-to-one with Apple engineers; and
* special events, including the Welcome Reception, Apple Design Awards, Lunchtime Speakers and Stump the Experts.
I, for one, am hoping that the super-secret internal version of this list includes one more item-
*Introduction of the all-new OS X iPhone-based mini-tablet.
I can dream, can’t I?
It truly promises to be
For now, though, all we can do is wait…
