For those of you who worship at the alter of Jobs, you'll be interested to know (or perhaps already have the t-shirt) that there was a worldwide developers conference this week, which traditionally is a great place to get all the gossip on the way a company is heading. This one was no exception, with secrets pouring out like wine at a wedding.
First up was a quick chat about the iPhone. Apparently, it's not going to be a closed platform, which means that anyone with a developing inclination will be able to develop applications for it - they won't even need a developers kit. This leads the way for loads of Web 2.0 apps, such as something channeling Last.fm or even Facebook.
There was also news that the Safari internet browser is going to be available for PC users. So now, we'll have the choice of Internet Explorer, Mozillas Firefox, or Apple's Safari. It'll work with XP and Vista, and is apparently 1.6 times faster than Firefox and twice as fast as IE. There'll be draggable tabs, a built-in RSS reader and Google and Yahoo included. It's available now for PC users as a Beta version here.
There's good news for Mac/gaming fanatics. Macs haven't had a great history in compatibility with game titles, but that's about to change as EA Games has announced. They're launching Command & Conquer 3, Battlefield 2142, Need For Speed Carbon, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 and Madden NFL 08 for the Mac this July.
