For those expecting an early comeback from Steve Jobs, you probably will have to wait until late June.  Phil Schiller and others will be giving this year's Keynote according today's Apple press release.

Apple® will kick off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address on Monday, June 8 at 10:00 a.m. A team of Apple executives, led by Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the keynote. WWDC will offer in-depth sessions on both iPhone™ OS 3.0, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, and Mac OS® X Snow Leopard™, an even more powerful and refined version of the world’s best desktop operating system and the foundation for future Mac® innovation.

More importantly, we'll see a developer preview of Snow Leopard on June 8th which will let developers "see the incredible progress we’ve made on Snow Leopard and work with us as we move toward its final release.”

Snow Leopard and Mac technical sessions will showcase hundreds of refinements to the operating system and dive deep into its new technologies including a 64-bit architecture, QuickTime® X, next-generation multicore and GPU processor support, and amazing new accessibility technologies. iPhone OS 3.0 technical sessions will cover introductory and advanced concepts to help developers get the most out of the iPhone OS 3.0 SDK and over 1,000 new APIs available for iPhone OS 3.0.

WWDC also offers attendees the unique opportunity to work side-by-side with Apple engineers to solve code-level issues, gain insight into development techniques and get expert advice on interface design.

Other activities at Apple’s WWDC 2009 include:

  • more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers on a wide range of technology-specific topics for developing, deploying and integrating iPhone OS 3.0 and Mac OS X technologies;
  • over 1,000 Apple engineers presenting the latest in Apple technologies and providing one-to-one direction in hands-on labs; and
  • the opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow iPhone and Mac developers from around the world.

 Jobs has some demolition work to do but is still scheduled to be back to release new iPhones in late June.

 Go to the NAB show...  I doubt they'd release it at WWDC.

Bring on the good stuff Apple, Some new hardware, anything... maybe a teblet or a new iphone will be great...

Wanna bet that the new hardware won't be previewed at WWDC? Perhaps a seperate special event will take place at the end of June to coincide with Steve's return.

Its a possibility.

We could still see Steve at WWDC. Why would they announce it ahead of time when they could make it a surprise?

ONE MORE THING.... STEVE JOBS BOOM

After announcing amazing new products Phill says:
"And there's one more thing..."
Phill runs iChat and calls Steve
HUGE applause
Steve: "Thank you... Good morning everyone...I hope you like our new products. As you could see Apple created these amazing products without me during my medical pause... today I am leaving Apple as CEO, but will stay in Board of the Directors..."
Audience: OOOOOOUGH...AAAAH... SHIT!!!!

THIS IS GOOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!

Sorry charlie. Its not going to happen. They said he will be back at the end of June.
June 8th is not the end of June.

End of story.

>>>THIS IS GOOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!<<<

I hope, that they give us a hint before the WWDC. Dis- or non-information about Steve's state of health is not acceptable any longer.

I keep hearing wwdc.....snow lepoard..iphone....BUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO FINAL CUT STUDIO 3.....is it dead???

Attk | May 14, 2009 - 6:47pm

 Dude, chill out!

Since WWDC is for developers, it's relatively unlikely that a new version of Final Cut Studio would be released there!  Probably around the NAB show would be more likely, just as it's (historically) more likely for a new version of Logic to be released around Musikmesse, NAMM, or the AES show.  (That is, if Apple decides to exhibit at those shows anymore...) There's a time and a place for everything...  Until then, enjoy using the current version of FCS!  If you're holding out to buy it, don't...  And if they DO release a new version soon after you buy it, you'll most-likely get the upgrade for free!  

 

I feel like a skipping LP...
