Apple Hosting Secret iOS Developer Event Next Week

Business Insider reports that Apple may be holding a secret three day conference for select iOS developers next week. They go on to speculate that it may be an effort to improve the quality of iOS apps.

The big idea, it seems, is an effort to improve the quality of iOS apps available in Apple's App Store. This comes as Google's rival Android platform continues to look better to developers, and receives more of their attention and investment.

No details on the type of developers that will be attending this event. Wilder speculation would be showing developers iOS APIs in Lion, or iOS development for the Apple TV. (via MacRumors)

Mac OS X Lion

OS X Lion will include iOS style home screens and folders with Launchpad, as well as a new Mission Control function that integrates Expose, Spaces and Dashboard. But the biggest news so far for Lion, is the Mac App Store, so big in fact that Apple can't wait until the summer 2011 launch of Lion. The Mac App Store will be launched on Snow Leopard in the next 90 days.
