Apple WWDC 2009 keynote coverage – 08/06/2009
Tomorrow morning 3am AEST Apple’s developer conference begins with a Phil Schiller keynote. There’s a lot of speculation around as with any Apple event. Probably this time more than ever. It’s 2 years since the original iPhone announcement, 1 year since the iPhone 3G announcement and 1 year since the announcement of Apple’s newest operating system – Snow Leopard (OSX.6). There’s also many rumours about a tablet announcement, but I don’t think so, happy to be wrong on that one.
The Australian times for the keynote are as follows:
Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane/Canberra 3:00 AM
Adelaide/Darwin time – 2:30 AM
Perth time – 1:00 AM
There’ll be plenty of people covering the event and there’s sure to be some sneaky people who get a live audio feed from the event. The race will be on to find those people.
Sources of content I’ll be watching are..
- Twitter (via TweetDeck), watching = “Apple OR WWDC”, “iPhone”, “Snow Leopard”.
- TWiT Live – http://live.twit.tv
- Tech Blogs live blogging – [engadget], [gizmodo], [gdgt]
- Mactalk [link]
I’ll be checking http://ustream.tv, http://stickam.com, http://justin.tv, for live feeds. Experience has shown that sites are bound to go down during live events, particularly Apple’s, that’s why backups are a great idea.
Did I mention having multiple monitors is great this time of year ?
