Monday's keynote saw the introduction of new iPhones, new MacBook Pros, a look at Snow Leopard (the next version of OS X), and a somewhat unexpected announcement:, low-cost Snow Leopard upgrades. It also provided a bit of fun and some usual twists.

Today Apple previewed Snow Leopard, the next version of the OS X operating system. Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) will be available in September, although no specific date was given.
Snow Leopard concentrates on improving the underlying technologies of OS X, but Apple was also able to add a few new features to keep us satisfied.
4. WWDC: iPhone 3.0 Software

At the WWDC keynote address, Apple took time to show some of the new features in the iPhone 3.0 software. Apple listened to its developers and users, and added many new capabilities and features. Of course, many of the new capabilities are in the software APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), so you will have to wait for developers to build apps that take advantage of them.
5. WWDC: New iPhone 3GS

Apple today took the wraps off the newest member of the iPhone family, the iPhone 3GS. While largely expected, the 3GS doesn’t bring some of the radical changes envisioned in many rumors. What it does bring is evolutionary improvements, and a new, lower price for the existing iPhone 3G.
6. WWDC: Where Have All the MacBooks Gone?

Apple did an amazing thing at the WWDC 2009 keynote address, something that no rumormonger or soothsayer predicted. It dismantled one of the four legs that hold up the Mac section of its empire.
