Apple WWDC 2009 by HMX
Today Apple invited to developers and press to San Francisco to hear what they’ve been working on in Cupertino since their last press outing. Known for their secrecy, these events are always big draws for Apple, often preceded by weeks of speculation based on rumors as to what new gadgets Apple will be announcing. This years event was no let down, with announcements running the gamut from a complete refresh of the entire Macbook Pro line (including the promotion of the unibody 13in Macbook to pro status), price reductions, a shipping date for Snow Leopard and new iPhones. The excitement, for me, was the announcement of Snow Leopard and the new Mac hardware. It will ship in September and only set you back $29 for a single license of $49 for a family license. The pricing is in line with Apple’s view of what Snow Leopard is and more along the lines of what I feel the cost for Windows 7 should be. I won’t bore you with all the details of this morning’s announcements, but you’ll be able to find links to the announcements and video, when available, after the break.
