Lots Revealed At WWDC 2007

Steve Jobs wrapped up his keynote just two hours ago, and there was a lot to come out of that 90 minutes. Leopard has quite a few new additions, including a cool multi-view video browser, which actually has all the videos playing while you are surfing through them. Time Machine was also discussed, which many people will learn to appreciate when the time comes that they need to rely on it.

Also of interest is the fact that gaming on Macs is really ramping up, thanks to support from iD, EA and EA Sports. I still think it’s going to be a while before gaming on Macs -really- picks up, considering that you can purchase a PC for $1,000 when Mac Pros start off at $2,500, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see a wider product line in the coming year. Any support for gaming is good support though.

Another surprising announcement is that the Safari browser is available for both Windows XP and Vista, but sadly, not for Linux (no it doesn’t emulate either). I am unsure the benefits of the browser when compared to the likes of Firefox and Opera, but you might give it a shot if you are curious.

As for the secret 12th iPhone app? It looks as though it’s non-existent. Kudos to Ryan Block and his crew at Engadget for the fast updates as the keynote progressed.
