Apple developers have been testing the next version of Mac OS X Leopard. The latest Mac OS X 10.5.3 test version (build 9D34) was seeded just last week and only adds one kernel performance fix and contains no remaining “known” issues. Meanwhile, Apple’s seed note list of the over 200 bug fixes since Mac OS X 10.5.2 has been posted by apcmag.

Once complete, the final Mac OS X 10.5.3 update will become available as a free update to existing Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) users via Software Update. No target date is set, but testing has been ongoing for two months and Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is just around the corner (June 9th).

Apple officially announced that “a team of Apple executives, led by CEO Steve Jobs” would kick off Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 9th.

This year’s WWDC will be showcasing both Mac OS X and OS X iPhone:
The five-day WWDC event, which runs from June 9 to June 13, will feature the first ever iPhone track for mobile developers with in-depth sessions and hands-on labs to fully explore the capabilities of the OS X iPhone 2.0 software, including the iPhone SDK and the App Store, a breakthrough way for developers to wirelessly deliver their applications to iPhone and iPod touch users.

Apple is widely expected to introduce a 3G-capable iPhone at this year’s WWDC.

Apple will also make the Keynote and all WWDC 2008 session videos available for purchase through iTunes moments later.

Marketwatch relays a Commercial Times report that suggests we will see the next MacBook revisions in Q3 2008 (July-September).

According to the newspaper, AU Optronics Corp.and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. received orders for flat-panel displays to be used in the next MacBook.
Taiwan’s top two flat-panel makers by revenue, have obtained flat-panel orders for Apple Inc.’s new MacBook, the Commercial Times reported Friday, citing industry sources.

The shipment target for this new MacBook is said to be in the 3rd quarter of 2008 for up to 3 million units.

Apple just released new versions of its popular “Get a Mac” TV ads, This time they’ve added 4 new ads, They are:

•    Sad Song
•    Pep Rally
•    Group
•    Office Stress

They all can be viewed on Apple’s Site

A screen shot surfaced of the upcoming iPhone firmware 2.0 ( with a feature to enable 3G ) on the iPhone might silence the rumors that a 3G enabled iPhone is on its way (most likely during the WWDC this coming June) “Lets Hope its ture”.

Apple is listing iPhone models as currently unavailable in the US and else where. WWDC is also coming up next June so we might see the new model with 3G on or around that time. Most predictions put the release date between late June early July. What is interesting is that it looks like Apple will no longer be stuck to one carrier to sell its sell phone. Hopefully we would see iPhones that are not locked to a certain carrier appear soon. World wide release?? maybe!
Thanks for Jacqui for the heads up!
