WWDC 2011
Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) kicks off next Monday, June 6 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, beginning with Steve Jobs’ keynote (aka The Stevenote) at 10 AM.
Below is a photo from AppleInsider showing some of the banners going up. It looks like the three themes of the conference will be:
- Mac OS X Lion (10.7)
- iOS 5
- iCloud
I’m really interested to see what Apple is going to do with the iCloud service. I hope it’s better than MobileMe, which never seemed to me to be a very serious effort on Apple’s part. Cloud syncing and backup services like Dropbox and a few others have shown what a good service can look like in that space. I think it’s pretty clear by now that a music syncing/streaming service is going to be introduced as a big part of the iCloud offering. I’m sure that calendar and contact syncing will remain, and some have speculated that parts of the iCloud service may be offered at no cost to users who upgrade to OS X Lion.
