Has anyone else received an email about this, and is anyone going? Looks like Apple is offering a free one-day seminar on iPhone dev... a free, mini WWDC?

I would go if I were in Europe, not sure how much it would cost me to go for 1 day to the US (from Mexico)

Wow, NYC filled up fast. I'm on the waitlist.

Looks like a quick rehash of the first two days of WWDC but it might mean getting some quality face time with engineers.

And meanwhile the WWDC videos are still not available...

I would do it if I wasn't in college and it wasn't on a weekday in my nearby city . Ah well. I would really like to go!

No game technologies demos in the London one, otherwise I might consider going although not sure I can afford a day off work right now. Anyone know where the London one is being held?

I can really recommend these Tech Talks, they're usually pretty informal things where you can get some good answers from engineers involved. Try to make it there if you can.

I was all excited when the email came through - especially with their tag line of "Stay where you are. We're coming to you." However Scotland does not feature on their list of places. I guess they must have used O2's 3G coverage map to find out where iPhone users are

Anyone planning to attend the Chicago one? Let me know.

by the time they got round to emailing UK based devs all the London slots had gone anyway.

Still try signing up. You will be put on a waiting list, and may get in.

I'll be at the Sydney one. Hope to see a few of you there.

Funkboy: I would have tried to sign up for it if it wasn't a weekday. Ah well.

But never anything after that. So I guess I'm not in either.
