Apple (AAPL) opens its annual Worldwide Developers Conference Monday in San Francisco, where tech analysts expect the company to tout its new iPhone 3.0 software and a new iPhone. It will also preview the next version of its operating system for Mac computers, OS X Snow Leopard.
Apple coming with an entry-level model available for $149 (down from the current $199) and a premium phone with a video camera and higher-capacity storage for $299.
The latest iPhone software, to be introduced this summer as a free upgrade (or $9.95 for folks who own Apple’s iPod Touch media player) offers such enhancements as the ability to cut and paste Web pages and send MMS (multimedia messaging service) text messages with photos.
Apple uses its developers conference to show off its wares and encourage software designers to make programs for its products. Those efforts have paid off greatly when it comes to the iPhone and Touch, which combined have sold 37 million units.
The company has sold more than 1 billion applications for the iPhone and Touch, from games and productivity tools to elegant entertainment apps such as Ocarina, which lets you play the phone as a flute. There are 40,000 offerings at Apple’s App Store.
