Those of you hoping to gain entry into Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference might have to wait until next year. The conference sold out one day after Apple announced the dates for its upcoming event.
The "buy now" option on Apple's Web site is now shaded, with a red "Sold Out" notice next to it. Tickets to WWDC run $1,599.
There are currently two listings on eBay for WWDC tickets, one at $2,500 and another at $3,150. Only registered Apple developers will be able to activate the ticket, however.
Apple announced Monday that WWDC will run from June 6 to June 10 in San Francisco, with a focus on iOS and Mac OS.
"At this year's conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said in a statement. "If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss."
Apple promised demonstrations of the new kinds of apps that developers can build using Apple's frameworks and more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers. Mobile app developers can "explore the latest innovations and capabilities of iOS" while Mac developers "will see and learn how to develop world-class Mac OS X Lion applications using its latest technologies and capabilities," Apple said.
Last year's WWDC included the launch of the iPhone 4, but does the emphasis on software in the company's announcement mean that new hardware is not in the works? Reports about the fabled iOS 5 and the iPhone 5 have made headlines this week, but we won't know anything for sure until June, so stay tuned.
