I think Apple will announce developer tools that will allow you to use the same code for both platforms (iphone and mac)
That doesn't make sense. iPhone app versions should be specialized to the iPhones hardware: screen size constraints, multi-touch interface, 3D accelerometer in some cases, etc.

To add to ic's comment, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch aren't the same. I think it's probably a very bad idea as the app needs to be tweaked to the platform, and it's a lot more than just a recomplile.

To counter, I would say Apple could potentially end up with more developers on the iPhone than OSX, and would want to make it possible to bring them over competly. Furthermore, I would say that a lot of apps on the iPhone and OSX would idealy work hand in hand. For example - Filemaker Pro: how different would the OSX version differ from the iPhone version? Other than a streamlined UI of course, and going easier on the system resources, not sure why Apple couldn't come up with a way to consolidate development. I mean, let's face it - the iPhone is not going to be the only super mobile platform coming out of Apple.
Just my guess, of course I could be completely fucking wrong.
The two bridges are obviously the Billy Joel album "The Bridge" and that one book "Bridges of Madison County." Uh, wait, what were we talking about again?
I know Apple shies away from new hardware at WWDC these days, but is it too much to hope that the MBP's will be revamped for the show? Developers like shiny new laptops, don't they?
Do I have to have more than an online ADC membership to buy a ticket? The purchase page says that a membership is required to activate the ticket, but it doesn't say if it is the paying kind of membership, or if the free one will do.
Thanks!
If you buy the Premiere membership it comes with one developer conference pass.
Two distinct sectors (Bridges) of the market, this being the Mac and the iPhone, unitizing a common pathway, Mac OS X. This thereby creating a landmark for Mac OS X in that it will become the preferred OS to develop upon.
Actually it just means that developing for Mac and iPhone is as fast as driving on the highway or a walk in the park.
They should have better video card is the macbook black, the macbooks pro need to be a little better as well.
The Mac pro should have new pci-e video cards out for it.
The Imacs need to have better ones as the old Imac had better video.
The mini needs to become a full size desktop with a good video card and desktop parts.
you can drop the mini down the g4 mini price and keep it low end but right now it is over priced a low end desktop at todays mini prices will still make apple money on it while letting apple have a good base system to BTO for gameing and mid-level pro work. Asking $2300 for a Sever / Workstation with a ATI 2600 XT and havening to add $200 more just for a 8800 GT will not cut next to just about all other gameing systems. The mac pro also comes with FB-DIMMS that are not the best for gameing.
The macpro can do cross fire will apple add that to there drivers + give you the bridges?
I think I'm actually going to pay and go this year. I highly encourage all of you college students to apply for the scholarship. One of the best times I ever had.
There was a headline on Macrumors.com in '06 that said they were supposed to come out with the next version of Shake (or something similar) this year. Perhaps they will do that at the WWDC.
I would also like to see Apple dive more into 3D and gaming. I played Guitar Hero III on a Mac Pro the other day, and the game kept having hiccups every time I tried out "Kool Thing" by Sonic Youth. Maybe they could come up with a "Core 3D" engine, somehow, or - as another poster suggested - expand their graphics capabilities towards the higher-end graphics cards. 3D and gaming are Apple's two main weaknesses, and Apple - as they have done in other areas - needs to deliver the goods.
Looking at their wording, it seems clear that, in at least one way, the event is about landmarks, literally!
It must then be about (true) gps and/or some new location-based application(s). Very interesting. What can they be?
That would be awesome! But do you think that true GPS will show up only in 2nd generation iphones/itouches? i can't see them adding such a massive service without a new form factor...i could be wrong!

By the way, $1295 for the ticket is much better than the $1995 I paid in 1999.

...........MACTOUCH FTW!!!
Nuff said.
Runs on OSX on your mac
Runs on OSX on your iphone
Runs on OSX on your iphone/touch/itab-newton
and your Apple TV runs on the above, with iphone/touch/tab as a remote etc.
All Paths Converge!
Maybe a dock or wireless to your Apple TV for your iphone/touch/tab to pick up programing to schedule/watch later.
+++some unheard of magic with the touch interface and a couple new upgrades to Apple TV.
The 5th major stream (Macs, iPods, iPhones, ATV, and .... itab?
I Like Apple.
...its invite image for the event ... which features two Golden Gate bridges ...
Get it?
