Apple announces WWDC: June 6-10, preview of OS X & iOS

Good to see we got more notice than the 40 days last year, which made it a royal pain for anyone coming from the Worldwide part of this developer conference.<p>Whilst an expensive trip if it is anywhere near as useful as it was in 2009, its well worth it.<p>If it sells out, you have to wonder whether the developer part of the conference should be ticketed separately from the keynote, as I would happily miss the keynote for access to the information.

I'm learning the iOS SDK and I think I'd truly benefit from attending, but the $1600 price is WAY out of what I can reasonably afford. So does Apple ever offer reduced rates for people just starting out? Seems to me that'd be a wise investment on their part. After all, if they offer seats for 75% off, and just one person makes a blockbuster app, they'll more than make the difference up in app store and or iAds fees.

The question is, will iOS become more like OS X, or will OS X become still more like iOS? Or is it finally time to look forward to OS Xi?

I think it's funny that tickets are $1599. That will definitely attract more people than when it would be $1600.

I’m greatful the announcement has enough lead time to book a flight and a hotel.

Will be my first time at the conference. Don't know anybody, but really looking forward to meet some nice people and get some first-hand knowledge! :-D

Incredibly, it's already sold out!<p><a href="https://twitter.com/jury/status/52503970022817792" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/jury/status/52503970022817792</a>

Argh, If only I could afford it. All of my money is tied up by sending it home to support my parents. :(

This will be my first WWDC. :)

I'll be there. My first developer conference since NeXTWorld Expo 1994.

My 'The question is' is: Will Lion demand 1GB, 1.5GB or 2GB or RAM?! I mean absolute minimal install requrements, not ideal ones.
