As expected, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference for 2009 has sold out. In the June 8th event, iPhone and Mac OS X developers could use the opportunity to code alongside Apple’s own IT team.

The event is also expected to coincide with Apple releasing the iPhone and iPod touch firmware 3.0. The new firmware will bring several new features to the devices.

Team17 has revealed these exclusive pictures of their classic invertebrate artillery game, Worms, playing on an iPhone. The classic version of Worms first released in 1995 and now they are bringing their original version to the iPhone.  Yeah, it’s a logical step since iPhone has became a popular gaming platform.

…the iPhone title uses a 2D environment in which the idea is to destroy your opponent’s team of militant worms.  Players take it in turns to launch various weapons, including exploding sheep, with the winner of each round either the first to wipe their rivals out, or the person with the most health points left when the time runs out.

According to the latest leaks, Verizon and Apple are in discussions regarding a new iPhone for the carrier, which would be launched in 2010.  USA Today quote “people familiar with the situation” who claim discussions between Steve Jobs and Verizon began a few months ago.

While USA Today suggest a CDMA iPhone would be the likely result, Apple’s recent financial conference call would seem to debunk that.  During the call, COO Tim Cook dismissed talk of a CDMA iPhone because the CDMA standard is predominantly a US specification.  Instead, Apple want “one phone for the whole world”.

Bump just landed on the App Store for a month, but it already secured a place in iPhone app history: became the one billionth download on Thursday when a Connecticut teenager downloaded the free app.

Bump is a new iPhone application that has just been released. The idea of this application is to attempt to solve the problem of having to manually input a new contact to your phone.

All you have to do is open the application and create a contact card to share then you just choose what information that you want to trade then simply bump hands together. At the moment, this application only allows transfer of contact information.

It’s just a quick update on Apple’s financial achievement:  the computer giant surprises Wall Street.  Apple posts results above analysts’ expectations. iPod touch and iPhone sales contributed to this result significantly.

For the period ended March 28, Apple reported net income of $1.2 billion, or $1.33 per share, compared to earnings of $1 billion, or $1.16 a share, for the same period the previous year. Revenue grew nearly 9% to $8.16 billion for the quarter.

Analysts were expecting Apple to report earnings of $1.09 per share on revenue of $8 billion, according to consensus estimates from FactSet Research.

Apple just delivered its 1 Billionth application downloads from the App Store. It’s only been nine months since the App Store launced on iTunes. Amazing.

Fortune’s Apple 2.0 wrote:

One of the factors feeding that growth, and in turn being fed by it, is the size of the App Store’s installed base. COO Tim Cook put it at 37 million — a fact, by the way, that gives analysts a fresh handle on the number of iPod touches in circulation. (Because Apple has reported sales of 21.17 million iPhones over the past 7 quarters, we now know that it has also sold at least 15.83 million iPod touches.)
