Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2007 (or WWDC 2007 or WWDC07) was a computer conference that was hosted by Apple Inc. for its developers at the Moscone Center's West Hall in San Francisco, California. It was Apple's 20th annual Worldwide Developers Conference, held from June 11 to 15, 2007.
Attendance[]
Apple CEO Steve Jobs noted during the keynote event that more than 5,000 attendees were present at WWDC 2007, breaking the prior year's record.
Product announcements[]
Jobs presented a feature-complete beta of Mac OS X Leopard, even though its release date had been pushed back to October.[1] Jobs announced that a version of Safari, Apple's proprietary web browser, had been created for Windows, and that a beta release was being made available online that same day.[2] Apple also announced support for 3rd-party development of the then-upcoming iPhone via online web applications running in Safari on the handset.[3] The announcement implied that Apple, at least for the time being, had no plans to release an iPhone software development kit (SDK), meaning that developers must use standard web protocols.[4]
Other events[]
Ozomatli performed live at the WWDC 2007 Bash, held at the Yerba Buena Gardens.
