When I ask myself why they would be indecisive about such a thing, I can only guess that there must be something holding up the announcement that Apple itself doesn't know. I can think of two things: 1., how many people will attend if they have a bigger venue? Last year they sold out to capacity. This year they clearly have even more interest than before. On the other hand, the economy sucks. Where could they hold a bigger meeting and in this uncertain economy, how many developers could realistically attend? 2. What about Mr. Jobs' health? Clearly he would like to attend, but he would like to do so as a healthy man. Is he on the mend and if so, when will he be able to portray himself as the healthy man he'd like to show? My guess is that one of these two things, or perhaps an uncertain deadline in development of Snow Leopard or some of its features is holding up an announcement. Something is uncertain at AAPL.</p> Apple is being indecisive about this announcement.

They were both great and very important for my work as a freelance developer. So I am on the edge of my seat to finally find out when WWDC 09 will take place. I think Apple's secrecy about product launches is a fair and obviously effective PR and marketing tool. But when it comes to events that people need to attend in order to stay on top of things for their jobs, events that need travel plans and some time to tell customers "I won't be available for a week", secrecy is just annoying. So please, Apple, give us the date, and give it to us earlier next year.</p> I've been to WWDC 07 and 08. They were both great and very important for my work as a freelance developer.
