Snow Leopard To Be Released June 8th?

David Zeiler for the Baltimore Sun suggests that WWDC 2009 will take place June 7-June12 and that Apple will launch Snow Leopard on June 8th.

David came to his conclusion by looking at the Moscone Center schedule.
However, as I looked at the schedule, I noticed another generic “Corporate meeting” scheduled for Moscone West -- for June 6-June12. That’s the second week of June, the correct number of days, and ends on a Friday (WWDC nearly always ends on a Friday).

Yes, June 6 is a Saturday, but last year a similar generic listing on the Moscone Web site had the event starting on Sunday June 8 when the official start date was actually June 9. That means WWDC’s official start date this year probably will be June 7, a Sunday – unusual but not unprecedented. Back in 2005 WWDC’s official first day was a Sunday.


Since the keynote is typically delivered on a Monday its possible that June 8th would the day Snow Leopard is announced. This would fall right in line with CEO Steve Jobs estimation that Snow Leopard would ship in about a year.
