Update: Apple now says 3-hour keynote listing an error
So much for that extra long keynote at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. Apple now claims its developer website erroneously listed Apple chief executive Steve Jobs' inaugural presentation as a 3-hour affair.
Jobs' keynote will in fact run the traditional 90 minutes from 9:00 AM till 10:30 AM on June 11th, not 9:00 AM till 12:00 PM as original reported by Apple's WWDC website.
Apple has now updated its website to reflect the change and confirmed in an e-mail to Gizmodo that the earlier posting was indeed a somewhat elaborate typo.

IT'S THE END PEOPLE! IT'S ALL OVER!
How many mistakes are Apple making these days?
My thoughts exactly!
My thoughts exactly!
One that I can think of.

Sorry, I am just as excited about Leopard, new hardware, etc. as the next guy. But, come on! Who cares how long a keynote speech at a conference 2 months away is scheduled for?
Talking up an OS that's months behind schedule and fading fast.
If its true that Apple dropped the ball on iPhone (reports of 'late june / july eta dates now'), OS X and who knows what else... Hmmm any news on more moves for the AppleTV and/or labels re-signing up for iTunes music store?
Apple stock will take the biggest nosedive in history if they don't start shaping up.
Now if this is all due to the hiring practices being eluded to as of late (as in the LACK of it). Read as unfilled but needed people/positions required to juggle all of these projects... If that is true then somebody should be getting 'Steved' pretty darn soon! And from where I sit it looks like the person who'll be steved may in fact **BE** Steve!
Okay maybe things aren't that bad just yet but just in case things go any more wrong... Remember you heard it here first.

A three-hour keynote would indicate an unusual number of new announcements, or the need for a very long demo of a specific product.
It doesn't affect your life one bit.
No Mac rumor "affects your life." I suggest you ignore this Mac rumor message board if you're after grander things in life.

OH NOES! I want a three-hour heated speech a la Fidel Castro!

Hey Mr. Doom-and-Gloom. Apple didn't "drop the ball" on iPhone. They said "June" and it's still "June". Until otherwise officially stated please continue your fear-driven, live on bad news existence.

It doesn't affect your life one bit. It's definitely fun to speculate what products Apple will/should come out with next, but this is getting insanely petty.
Yeah, Whatever.
I think it is a ploy to manage expectations.
I think there will be a lot and the keynote will run longer than 90.

Everybody knows that you're supposed to cut Apple's estimates in half. If Steve says June, then he means March. If he says June 2008, then he means March 1004.
He has plenty to talk about Leopard, other software and hardware products and possibly the iPhone API and enhancements to Xcode to support it.
3 hours and very rushed.

He's been known to speak for 7 hours before. Unfortunately a lot of them is devoted to reading the latest production figures :P
