"Apple today announced that Steve Jobs will kick off its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote on Monday, June 23, 2003, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (PDT) at San Francisco's Moscone West...
... expanded labs with the latest Mac systems where developers can port and test their code and get technical assistance from the Apple engineers directly responsible for the technologies."
Reggae legend Bob Marley dies of cancer on this day in 1981 in Miami Beach, Florida. Marley, born in Jamaica in 1945, began recording in his late teens. He formed his band, the Wailers, in 1963. In the early 1970s, the band's records began to catch on outside Jamaica, assisted by Eric Clapton's cover of "I Shot the Sheriff." Marley's music influenced countless later musicians.
If one compares the list of the exhibitors of the WWDC 2002 and that of the WWDC 2003 , one can realize that this expo reserved for the developers is changing. There are more companies which sell of Hardware like Harman Multimedia, Initio or UPS. The exhibitors are already more numerous than in 2002 whereas it is still possible to be registered.
The WWDC thus exceeds the strict limits of the development to become a significant exposure for the manufacturers of hardware.
It brings up the question, is it by chance or by design, that WWDC has an increased emphasis on hardware exhibitions this year? Right now I tend to think that it is probably more by chance, probably due to the de-emphasis on MWNY. Still it may be interesting to monitor this as well as how many companies exhibit at both events.
What I wish they'd do is come up with a virtual browsing method whereby we could virtually walk through an exhibit and see all the cool stuff. We could also see sales presentations, and even read literature about the products. Everything would be available online. The reason for this is that there are tons of us that would love to go and see all this stuff yet are either unable to physically go, or don't have the money for the trip. It just seems like it would be such a great idea.
Comments
Generally there are a handful of such slots 'TBA', and other already announced slots morph post-keynote to adapt to the new information.
This year there are 32 TBA slots, before expectation of others changing.
You *think* they might have some new stuff to show off???

Purchase a Mac now through June 28, 2003, and pay just $69.95 for a one-year .Mac membership.

Sorry, I should have given you credit for the graphic yesterday. I'll do better next time.
