This year’s five-day WWDC will showcase both Leopard and iPhone development, offering the first ever iPhone track for mobile developers with in-depth sessions and hands-on labs to fully explore the capabilities of the iPhone 2.0 software, including the iPhone SDK and the App Store.

The iPhone track will also enable mobile developers to work with Apple engineers to create applications: Multi-Touch, animation technology, Core OS, Core Services, Media and Cocoa Touch technologies, built-in three axis accelerometer and geographical location technology all feature in the session range.

The Mac development track will provide the technical foundation and techniques needed to develop world-class OS X Leopard applications. Sessions will explore every level of the system, including interface design and implementation, application frameworks, security, localization and networking.

As always, this is one of the most hotly anticipated keynotes of the past few years.  If rumours are to be believed (and we think there’s some truth behind the smoke) then this WWDC could see a newly revised iPhone touted to the masses.

Fingers (and toes) crossed for confirmation!

As always, we’ll keep you up to date with more news as and when we receive it.
