Why Apple's WWDC was a Bust
Check here for one smart Apple observer's take on who attended Apple's WWDC yesterday on why it was such a bust, even for developers.This was the most attended and least interesting WWDC that I have been to. No iPhone love. Leopard is cool but late. Games are nice, but most of what was shown has been already seen. Given that one can watch a video of the Keynote already from Apple’s site, I don’t know if I will make this annual pilgrimage next year. Will I buy an iPhone. For sure. Will I get Leopard and continue to use Apple gear. Definitely. Am I an Apple fan. Not really.

I know this statement incorporates some occurances from the rest of the day, but I wish people had some perspective. I thought the difference between a 1.5 hour keynote speech and a weeklong developer conference with the highest attendance ever and near 2000 Apple engineers were easily discernable. Apparently not. WWDC is just the keynote.
