Apple WWDC 2011 Keynote announced, iCloud is official

Apple has just officially announced the WWDC 2011 keynote. It is, as expected, taking place on June 6th at 10:00 am PDT. What is interesting is that Steve Jobs will host the keynote. As you know Steve Jobs is actually on a medical leave again. Apple CEO Steve Jobs and a team of Apple executives will kick off the WWDC 2011 with the keynote focusing on software.

At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next generation software - Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS® X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple’s advanced mobile operating system which powers the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch; and iCloud, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering. Did you just read that? Yes, the rumored iCloud name for Apple's cloud service is real.

The WWDC 2011 keynote will likely have no new hardware, but lots of interesting software and services announcements.

WWDC will feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers. Mac® developers will see and learn how to develop world-class Mac OS X Lion applications using its latest technologies and capabilities. Mobile developers will be able to explore the latest innovations and capabilities of iOS and learn how to greatly enhance the functionality, performance and design of their apps. All developers can bring their code to the labs and work with Apple engineers.
