The iPhone SDK announcement last week was very welcoming but it left us with the question of when the WWDC 08 would take place. Today, Apple has given us the answer. The WWDC will run from the 9th - 13th of June at San Francisco’s Moscone Centre (West Hall). With three tracks (iPhone, Mac and IT). Developers and IT Pros definitely want to make it for this one. Students, try to get your hands on the available scholarships as each ticket runs for $1295 a pop. With that set pricing, guess which one of your favorite blogs wont be there? If you guessed us, you are right. Is a little love from Apple too much to ask for?
Conveniently enough, in today’s news we have a related topic.
That sound that you heard before you came online and checked this entry was Apple’s lawyers running out the door. I’m not sure why they’re running instead of calling. And I’m not sure why your first thought after that was to read this. All I’m saying is that they could have at least run the demo on a PC to get a little distance between themselves and coverflow.
We told you. But you nay-sayed us. And then I made up the word ’sayed’. And then you watched that video.
We the People of AppletizeMe, in Order to form a more perfect tutorial, relay a tip, and provide information, do ordain and establish this Embedded video link with Flash. That’s right, we’re tutorializing through video now.

So, after that lovely diversion, back to the iPhone. The SDK will be released to developers today. It uses a four tier system for creating applications for the phone. From there, there is an emulated source that acts exactly as the iPhone, or you can run applications on the iPhone from your computer to debug in real time.
Applications can be purchased through the iTunes store. The cost is decided by the developer, with Apple receiving 30% of the revenue, and the developer receiving 70%. If the application is free, Apple will not charge to host through iTunes.
The beta for the SDK program can be downloaded if you’re a developer from the Apple site. It costs $99 and unlocks the inner-child feature on your computer.
For those of you without a developer’s account that would still like to play with the new iPhone features, you can send in an application over here to be a beta tester. Unfortunately, it’s not for downloading applications yet. Just things like push email and WPA2. You know, things that would allow you to actually have your phone on the server at work since it’s secure. Ah, if only Apple manufactured a version that didn’t have the camera.
