Apple on 26 March revealed plans to hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference from June 8-12 at San Francisco's Moscone Center, where more than 1000 Apple engineers will be on hand to talk about the latest advancements to the iPhone and Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Some developers who've dug into the recently released iPhone 3.0 code have suggested that a more sophisticated next-generation Apple iPhone could be in the offing. iPhone 3.0 not only added long awaited features like copy/paste, but also appeared to signal Apple's intention to turn the iPhone into a full-fledged gaming platform.
OS X Snow Leopard could be another big splash at this year's WWDC, which will include sessions on how to prepare for Snow Leopard's 64-bit architecture, tapping into multi-core and GPU computing, and transitioning from traditional QuickTime APIs to QuickTime X. according to Apple's Web site.
Two new technologies in Snow Leopard have garnered the lion's share of attention since Apple first started talking about Snow Leopard at last year's WWDC in June: Grand Central, which adds support for multicore processors and parallel computing; and OpenCL, which lets applications tap into unused GPU computing power.
