Get excited all you Apple fanboys and girls it’s WWDC time again!  The annual event in San Francisco is schedules to go down June 5 through June 9, 2011. Some of the most anticipated announcements for the year should be disclosed at the meeting and we will finally get answers like, “What’s the deal with iCloud?” “When will the iPhone 5 be released?” You know things like that. Steve Jobs is known for keeping release dates and new information very close to his vest but in the past, some pretty big announcements have been made at WWDC.

Let’s take a look at some of the past announcements made at WWDC:

2010:  2010 was all about the App, but the highlight was definitely the iPhone 4 release date and the integration of Facetime with the front facing camera found on the  iPhone.

2009: The 2009 WWDC was all about speed. Jobs revealed the iPhone 3Gs.  The “S” is for Speed. The big hullabaloo (Finally worked that into a post) about this phone was that everything was faster than the iPhone 3G.  Also, the MacBook Pro received an updated look and boasted that it was the “fastest notebook Apple’s ever made.” Well…until next year.

2008: This WWDC was all about the developers. Jobs and Apple were really pushing people to begin to develop and sell new apps for the Apple App store.  Also, Jobs wanted to show off  the capability of the accelerometer and it’s practical application in games for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

If history teaches us anything it’s that at this years WWDC a release date will be announced for the iPhone 5 but also, something will be said about the iCloud.

So, the two main points I am looking forward to at the 2011 WWDC are the iPhone 5 release date and the iCloud. This article about the iCloud from Gigaom gives some background on Apple acquiring the domain, iCloud.com and iCloud.org. It is rumored that iCloud will have the ability to stream and store music and movies. Very Cool, very cool indeed. Apple WWDC conferences never disappoint so it should make for an interesting week.
