Apple WWDC 2011: iCloud, iOS 5, Mac OS X Lion be Officially Announced

Apple World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC 2011) is going to start in sunny San Francisco on June 6th 2011.

Hosted by Moscone West, the 5 days significant event of the technology world will observe important announcements about the Apple's future mobile plateform iOS 5, future version of Mac OS X Lion and Apple's Cloud Product named as 'iCloud'. There will be more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers covering various areas.

Keeping in mind the market competition Apple is facing at the moment and historical importance of the event for the company, Apple CEO, Steve Jobs (who is a cancer patient) is specially requested to return back from his medical leave, to take the stage to deliver the keynotes for the conference on Monday 06 June 2011 10:00AM


WWDC 2011: Apple iCloud

Cloud will be the star of the keynote, predicted Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research. In April, reports surfaced claiming that Apple had paid Swedish company Xcerion $4.5 million for the icloud.com domain. Xcerion, which had used icloud.com for its online file-storage service, switched to cloudme.com earlier that month.

Most experts expect that iCloud will at the least replicate the online music "locker" services already launched by Apple rivals Amazon and Google, giving customers the ability to play tracks from their iTunes collection over the Internet using their iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches and Macs.

WWDC 2011: iOS 5

Apple has been mum about iOS 5, the next version of the mobile operating system that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. But that will change next week as the company touts new features to developers.

If the company follows past practice, it will offer developers a preliminary version of iOS 5 at WWDC, along with an SDK, or software developers kit, giving them several months to work on new apps or update existing ones with features specific to the upgrade.

WWDC 2011: Mac OS X Lion

Apple will also reveal in more detail Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, which was first announced in October 2010. At the time, Apple said Lion would ship sometime this summer.

Recent revelations from developers, however, indicate that the next update to Snow Leopard -- Mac OS X 10.6.8 -- will include a Mac App Store update that allows customers to upgrade to Lion without physical media. That has spurred talk that Lion's release is imminent.

Apple WWDC 2011 Badge: iCloud, iOS 5, Mac OS X Lion be Officially AnnouncedIt was already generally accepted that the two operating system were going to debut next week, but it’s rather strange that Apple would take to the wires with a pre-announcement. Please correct me if I’m wrong, save a teaser image showcasing a roman numeral and a large feline, the company hasn’t done this in recent history. The presser is after the break but it’s more of an advert for the developer’s conference. This pre-announcement either means Apple doesn’t have that much to show, or, hopefully, there’s so much that the company had to announce some ahead of time to make room in Steve’s keynote.
