Amaya Toman Already next week, specifically from June 7 to 11, the next year of Apple's regular developer conference awaits us, i.e. WWDC21. Before we get to see it, we will be reminding ourselves of its previous years on the Jablíčkára website, especially those of an older date. We recall briefly how the past conferences took place and what news Apple presented at them.

In yesterday's installment of our series on the history of Apple's developer conferences, we reminisced about WWDC 2005, today we'll move forward just three years and recall WWDC 2008, which was once again held at the Moscon Center. It was Apple's twentieth developer conference, and it took place on June 9-13, 2008. WWDC 2008 was also the first ever developer conference whose participant capacity was hopelessly full. Among the most important points here was the presentation of the iPhone 3G and its App Store, i.e. an online store with applications for the iPhone (i.e. iPod touch). Along with it, Apple also introduced the stable version of the iPhone SDK developer package, the iPhone OS 2 operating system and the Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system.
Compared to its predecessor, the 3G model offered support for third-generation networks, otherwise not much has changed. The most obvious change was the use of plastic backs instead of aluminum ones. Other news at the conference included the conversion of Apple's .Mac online service to MobileMe - however, this service ultimately did not meet with the response Apple had originally hoped for and was later replaced by iCloud, which still operates today. As for the Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system, Apple announced at WWDC 2008 that this update will not bring any new features.
