Apple WWDC 2009 Live Coverage Links

As usual, numbers of sites will be providing live coverage of Apple WWDC. More links will be added as they are found. Links will be updated as they are confirmed.

NOTES:
According to a completely bogus information from an imaginary person who is definitely not Phil Schiller:

  • New iPhone OS 3.0 will be released on Monday/Tuesday following WWDC 2009 Keynote.
    Please note that iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 will definitely expire by the end of June.
  • iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade will be released ahead of the new iPhone.
  • A “few words” regarding Apple’s portable computers during WWDC.

iPhone OS 3.0 Beta: What happened to the icon?

I’m pretty sure it’s one of the bugs in the iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5. For some reasons, the Calculator icon is permanently replaced with Yahoo! App icon.

I tried uninstalling Yahoo! App and restarting the iPhone but it remained. It’s not a showstopper, but it just a little bit bothering me. So I restored my iPhone Software.

Calculator with Yahoo! icon.

Apple Releases iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2

iTunes Icon QuickTime Player

One week ahead of Worldwide Developer Conference 2009, Apple releases iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2.

iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2 are available for Mac OS X (Tiger and Leopard) and Windows (XP and Vista).

Early preview version of iTunes 8.2 was required to install iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 and Beta 5. Since then, no new iPhone OS 3.0 Beta has been released. It is estimated that iPhones OS 3.0 Beta 5 would expire sometimes late June 2009. That means a new build of iPhone OS 3.0 should be release in the near future. Possibly to coincide with WWDC 2009. The shipping version of iPhone OS 3.0 is expected to be released in mid-July along with the new iPhone hardware(s).
