Apple has announced officially that they have sold out WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) that is scheduled to start with Steve Jobs widely anticipated keynote on June 9th.

Developers still interested in the conference are being asked to wait for the immediate aftermath, at which Apple will upload the videos of events to iTunes. Some clips should become available with a free developer account; others, however, will require a paid membership.

WWDC runs June 9th to the 13th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and will for the first time have three separate development tracks: iPhone, Mac and IT.

Apple will hold an “invitation only” Town Hall meeting at their Cupertino headquarters on Thursday, March 6, at 10 AM PST to discuss the State of the iPhone, and probably answer several questions about how iPhone application development will unfold with the expected SDK that was earlier promised.

Apple is expected to give details on “some exciting new enterprise features,” for the iPhone. Corporate e-mail software, anyone? Stay-tuned. I think this will be a game changer in the smart phone market.

Apple has announced that it will not have a booth at NAB 2008 scheduled for April in Las Vegas. Following Avid’s decision to drop out there were rumors about Apple’s following them out the door. Now an Apple spokesman said the company is cutting down on its trade show participation overall.

“Apple is participating in fewer trade shows this year,” said Anuj Nayar, senior manager of PR at Apple. “Often there are better ways to reach our customers. The increasing popularity of our retail stores and Apple.com Web site allows us to directly reach more than 100 million customers around the world in innovative new ways.”

Greed, that’s right greed of the NFL, greed of the TV networks, and greed of our representatives in government is who I blame for the crazy stuff happening these days when it comes to TV viewing. There is not a show today that is aired on any major network that does not have so many commercials running during the show that it is almost impossible to enjoy them.

Apple CEO Steven P. Jobs is due to address MacWorld 2008 attendees with his widely anticipated keynote at the Moscone Center in San Francisco today at 9 AM PST (scheduled for about an hour and a half). ReelSmart will have coverage of the announcements as soon as they come in. Apple will have the video of the keynote posted on Apple.com later this afternoon.

Now that tech has moved out of the desert with CES ending it is heading west to San Francisco’s Moscone Center where Apple will try and “woo” our dollars at the opening of MacWorld 2008.

The rumors are truly flying after seeing the first spotted banner just put up at the Moscone Center (thanks to ArsTechnica) reading “There’s something in the air.” Is it that a new slim MacBook is lighter than air, purchasing tracks from iTunes over EDGE, downloading HD movies for rental and streaming them wirelessly, SlingPlayer for iPhone being launched, or being able to order your latte from Starbucks wirelessly with your iPhone?

Is the iPhone coming to the UK? That’s what most think will be announced on Tuesday September 18th, 2007 at London’s Regent Street Apple Store is the location. “Mum is no longer the word” is the tag line associated with the announcement. This UK special event is coming only a week before the Apple Expo Paris, which is the largest Apple Event in Europe, making a UK iPhone announcement very likely.

Apple has posted a video-on-demand of the Special Event held earlier Wednesday at the Moscone West expo center in San Francisco with the introduction of the new iPods and a nice performance by KT Tunstall.

Apple Event is taking place in San Francisco at the Moscone West to a packed house. With Apple CEO Steve Jobs on stage here is a summary of what is being announced:

Apple will be holding a special media event tomorrow Wednesday September 5th at 10am PST (or 1pm EST) at the Moscone West in San Francisco where they are expected to roll out a new iPod line before the holiday season. Rumors are as usual before these events flying into the stratosphere. Multi-touch video OS X powered iPods that also make Starbucks fraps? I hate to add to the rumors. I do expect that it will be a “bad day” for Microsoft, Sony, Creative, and many other iPod/iTunes competitors.

I will be covering the media outpour and post as-fast-as-I-can-type. So if it is a Beatle iPod, WiFi, touch-screens, bluetooth, a Nano iPhone, whatever, we will know tomorrow. I sure hope I like the new full-size iPod as I want one.

Apple will be holding a “special event” on September 5th. New iPods coming is the speculation. Hope so! Maybe the Beatles, lyrics, subscriptions, more DRM-free tracks will be added to iTunes? Stay tuned.

Apple may be ready to announce a revamped iPod line-up next month to cash in on the holiday season. With the the Apple Expo in Paris, starting from Sept. 25-29 this come be the place to for the introduction. However, Engadget and ars technica sites an Apple “special event” may be held on Sept. 5 for new iPods to be announced. I will keep you posted.
