From Tom Nelson, your Guide to Macs
WWDC 2010 opened on Monday, with a keynote address presented by Steve Jobs. As expected, Jobs unveiled the iPhone 4 as well as the newest version of the iPhone OS, which also has a new name: iOS 4.

I was disappointed that there weren't any Mac-related announcements during the keynote, but I expect a few during the course of the WWDC event this week.
