SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is set to open here today at the Moscone Center West. The highlight will be the keynote address, by Steven P. Jobs, the company’s chief executive. The conference is the yearly gathering for the companies that develop applications for Apple’s products. In an unusual preview, Apple has already announced that it will unveil new versions of the operating systems that run its computers, smartphones and tablets, as well as a new Internet service, iCloud. The company has given few other details. But analysts say the service will allow people to listen to their music — and possibly gain access to photos, videos and other media — over the Internet on Apple devices, without keeping actual copies of those files on each device, and without syncing.
I’ll be chronicling the events here as they happen, with contributions from John Markoff, veteran technology reporter. We’d like to hear any and all questions from readers, and will try to answer them in our coverage.
Mr. Jobs, who has been on medical leave since January, is expected on stage at 10 a.m. local time, 1 p.m. Eastern time. So stay tuned for updates.
