He announced a seamless integration of [[w:podcast|podcasting]] with [[w:iTunes|iTunes]], and, to the amazement of many, that future Apple Macintosh computers will feature [[Intel]] processors.

Jobs welcomed everyone to the event and announced that there were 3,800 attendees. There are 500 Apple engineers at what is their largest developers conference in the past decade. There are over 500,000 developers of Apple [[w:program|programs]] ([[w:application|apps]]).  Jobs said that Apple has 109 [[w:retail store|retail stores]], with one million visitors per week, creating over $500 million yearly in revenue. The [[w:Macintosh|Mac]] market share is up 82% from 9 months ago.

Jobs then moved on to talk about a very anticipated announcement- Podcasting. Steve called podcasting “[[w:Wayne’s World|Wayne’s World]] for [[w:radio|radio]]”.  He called it the “hottest thing going in radio”, and, “exciting”. There are over 8,000 podcasts. Steve Jobs announced that automatic podcasting subscription would be built in to iTunes and [[w:iPod|iPod]] seamlessly. He also announced that [[w:QuickTime|QuickTime]] 7 would be soon available for [[w:Microsoft Windows|Windows]].

Moving on, Jobs announced that there have been 2 million copies of [[w:Mac OS X v10.4|Tiger]] sold in the 6 weeks that it has been available. He demoed the [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] [[w:Apple Dashboard|Dashboard]] [[w:widget (computing)|widget]].  Steve announced that Mac OS X Leopard would be released in 2007, the same time as Microsoft’s [[w:Microsoft Longhorn|Longhorn]].

In a surprising move, Steve Jobs announced that Macintosh computers would begin to be shipped with [[w:Intel|Intel]] processors, the same as in Windows machines, ending the eleven year partnership with [[IBM]] and [[w:Motorola|Motorola]]. This is said to be out of Apple's increasing frustration at IBM's inability to deliver faster and cooler [[w:processors|processors]], though it is interesting to note that Intel has recently added Digital Rights/Restrictions Management (DRM) to its latest processors. This 'switch', he said, would happen beginning next year.  Jobs said that Mac OS X has had “a secret double life” and OS X had “been [[w:compile|compiled]] [for Intel processors] for five years.”  He talked about the easiness for developers to [[w:port|port]] their Mac apps to Intel (x86) processors.  Current [[w:PowerPC|PowerPC]] programs can be run on Intel processors due to a new Apple technology.  He said that Apple is “getting ready” for the transition from PowerPC to Intel.
