Everything announced at WWDC in one handy list

After months of speculation, WWDC 2010 has finally arrived and here’s a handy list of everything you need to know.

iPad

• The iPad has sold 2 million units in three months, despite only being on sale in 10 countries.
• Apple sells an iPad every three seconds.
• Apple plans to roll the iPad out in 9 more countries by July.
• There are over 8,500 native iPad apps in the App Store

• 225,000 apps in the App Store
• The apps are available in 30 languages
• 15,000 new apps are received every week, 95% are approved within 7 days.
• For the 5% that aren’t the problem is usually down to apps that don’t do their advertised function, use private APIs and apps that crash a lot.

• Activision is releasing Guitar Hero for the iPhone, which will include the ability to create custom rockers and post content to Facebook.

iPhone 4

• The new iPhone is 24% thinner than the old model and is made from Stainless Steel and Glass.
• It has two microphones for noise canceling and integrated antennae to improve signal.
• The display has a new technology called a retina display, packing 326 pixels per inch.

• This means that the display has a high enough resolution that the print on the screen looks as sharp as text on paper.
• When compared to the display on the 3GS, the iPhone 4’s display looks much sharper.
• The display’s resolution is 960×640 as we had reported.
• The screen also has an 800:1 contrast ratio to give 4x the resolution and 4x the contrast of the 3GS.
• iPhone OS4 automatically renders text in higher resolutions, so many apps will look stunning with no further work.
• iPhone 4 will be powered by the A4 chip, as we had reported.

• The chip is buried in the middle of the phone, because the case is “Packed to the gills.”
• The new phone’s bigger battery and A4’s power management allows for a 40% increase in talk time to 7 hours, 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music, 10 hours of wifi browsing, and a whopping 300 hours of standby time.

• The phone will come with up to 32GB of storage.
• The phone will also come with Quad-Band HDSPA/HSUPA for quick data transfers.
• It will also come with a three-axis gyroscope that allows for six-axis motion detection. This will be huge for gaming applications.
• The iPhone 4 will bring a whole new camera system to the table.

• The camera has a five megapixel sensor.
• The camera’s sensor is a backside-illuminated sensor to get more light to the sensor.
• The camera has tap to focus, digital zoom and an LED flash built in.
• The camera records HD video in 720p at 30fps.
• The camera also allows users to edit video on the phone.
• This is all possible through iMovie for iPhone, which allows users to send video via MMS, upload to Youtube, send video in emails and upload to MobileMe.

• It works much like the desktop app, complete with the record-into-timeline feature.
• Photos can even be added into the video stream.
• Videos can include titles, transitions, and can even be geotagged.
• Users can add music to the video, as well.
• Will cost $5 in the App Store.
• iBooks coming to iPhone.
• Syncs wirelessly with iBooks on other devices.
• iBooks now supports PDF files.
• iBookstore on iPhone, becomes third store on the iPhone.
• The phone does have the reported front-facing camera as Jobs demoed when he videochatted Jonny Ive.

• The phone will be $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.

• Comes in Black and White.
• The lineup doesn’t change much besides form factor, as the 8GB 3GS will take the place of the 8GB 3G.
• The phone goes on preorder June 15th and goes on sale June 24th in the US.
• The phone will be on sale in 18 more countries in July, 24 more in August and 40 more in September.
• iOS4 will be standard.
• Apple will offer colored cases, which they’re calling bumpers.

iOS4

• iPhone OS4 is getting a new name: iOS4

• iOS4 offers 1500 developer APIs and 100 new user features

• Allows for “multitasking done right,” as Jobs said. This was a not-so-subtle dig at Google and Larry Page.
• Apple’s multitasking allows for apps to be hibernated, run in the background and switched while still running, apparently without adversely affecting battery life.
• Folders can be dragged to the dock.
• Folders are named automatically based on genre of apps, but can be renamed.
• Unified inbox comes to iPhone, as we mentioned at the iOS 4 launch.
• Google remains the default search but now Bing is an option as well as Yahoo.
• The final release candidate will be in developers’ hands today.
• 100 million iOS devices sold.
• Releases on June 21st for upgrading devices.
• Will support most features on 3GS, some on 3G.

iAds

• iAds keep you in your app.
• Main reason to have iAd is to help developers make money so they can keep making free and low-cost apps.
• Apple sells and hosts the ads, making it easy for developers.
• Apple has been selling ads for 8 weeks.
• Brands include: Nissan, Citi, Unilever, AT&T, Chanel, GE, Target, Best Buy, Geico, DirecTV, Disney and others.

• Brands are working to create a compelling experience for iPhone users. For example, if you want to try to win a Nissan Leaf, you have to register through iAd.
• iAd comes online July 1st.

• Marketers have already bought $60 million worth of iAds, which equates to 48% of the ads sold for the second half of 2010.

One More Thing: Video Chat for iPhone

• Video chat for iPhone will be called Facetime.
• It works with either the front or rear camera on the phone.
• It appears to be WiFi only at this point.
• Works in portrait or landscape.
• It’s iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 only.

• No indication on how it works exactly, whether it has a dedicated app or runs through the phone. Interface looks a lot like the phone, though.
• Will be an open standard.
