WWDC: All you need to know

The 3G iPhone has been outed, but what else was on display in Steve Jobs’ keynote? We’ve pulled out all the hottest news nuggets, or you could read a blow-by-blow rundown of the whole thing.

Top of the billing is obviously the 3G iPhone. It’s fast, it’s sexy and it’s amazingly cheap. £100 cheap. Yes, you heard that right.

In other news though, Apple lifted the lid on Mobile Me. It’s a swanky new web service that brings proper push e-mail, calendar updates and address book syncing to the handset.

It means new appointments, contacts and messages are instantly backed up, accessible from a Mac’s native applications, Outlook on a PC or through a zippy new web interface at www.me.com

Create an appointment in your calendar, and it’ll instantly appear on your iPhone. It’ll also work the other way round, and it’s the same with contacts.

Elsewhere, Steve Jobs used the keynote to show off the breadth of applications in development for the iPhone.

Sega showed off a supremely responsive version of Super Monkey Ball, proving the accelerometer inside the iPhone is more than a match for the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.

Meanwhile, more serious looking medical and business apps proved it’s not all fun and games, and that Apple’s got a serious mobile platform on its hands.

Not enough Apple-flavoured excitement for you? Then how about news that developers will indeed get a sneak peek at OS X Snow Leopard later today.

Things move pretty fast in Apple Land. Read our run down of the whole keynote, and make sure you don’t miss a trick.
