Apple's WWDC sells out in hours

BEIJING. March 29. KAZINFORM Tickets for Apple's annual World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2011 have already been sold out ten hours after the event was announced Monday, according to media reports; Kazinform refers to Xinhua.

It is the first time the event sold out the same day it was announced. Last year, the conference sold out in eight days.

WWDC 2011, with the tickets priced at 1599 U.S. dollars, will run from June 6 till June 10 at the Moscone West conference center in San Francisco.

This year's speedy turnaround is probably because of a rumored double-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 press release; Kazinform cites Xinhua.
