2009 WWDC posters appear at Moscone West
TUAW buddy Adam Jackson has posted pictures he took of a WWDC poster that's currently hanging in the Moscone Center. Bearing the phrase "One year later. Light-years ahead" and several flying app icons, it puts the iPhone front-and-center, as one would expect. Some folks are using Flickr's Notes feature to ID apps they recognize. Feel free to fill in the gaps.We expect Apple to demo and distribute a new, nearly-final build of Snow Leopard to developers, and at least announce a ship date for iPhone OS 3.0. It will be nice if we get a firm release date for Snow Leopard and a preview of new iPhone hardware, but we aren't holding our breath. Stay tuned to TUAW during the show for coverage and reaction to everything from WWDC.
Of course, I wouldn't be a nit-picky jerk if I didn't mention that a year is a measure of time while a light year is a measure of distance. I wonder if the new iPhone will make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
Thanks Adam!

It's only 1.34 parsecs away.
Umm maybe it just means the obvious that they secretly developed a hyper/warp drive app and they have successfully propelled the upcoming iPhone "light years ahead" in a single year? They aren't just ahead of the "competition" but literally light years away from all of us!

I can't believe anyone doesn't get this, much less is bothered by it.
"One year later. Light-years ahead"
I like Apple, but if there's anything that company needs, it's a humility lesson.
Perhaps they are "ahead" of where they expected to be, meaning they reached a certain number of apps or downloads earlier than they had projected.
In that case, it would be a race against time itself.
