Worldwide Developers Conference, formerly Apple Developers Conference,[1][2] is an annual conference hosted by Apple for hardware and software developers of its products. Commonly abbreviated to WWDC and sometimes colloquially referred to as "Dub-Dub",[3] the event is held in Northern California, near Apple's U.S. headquarters.[4] Apple also uses the venue to introduce new technologies and preview related products.
Pippin at WWDC 1996[]
WWDC 1996 included presentations of the Pippin platform.[5] Apple CEO Gil Amelio stated at the event that Apple was developing its own Pippin Set-top box that was not intended to compete with Bandai's consoles.[6] Amelio also described Apple's version of a NC device, based on the Network Computer Reference Profile, as "kind of a Pippin Plus."[7]
