Apple’s WWDC 2012 kicks off in San Francisco

Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference kicked off today at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, where CEO Tim Cook delivered the opening keynote address.  As usual when it comes to Apple,  things are almost never pre-annouced so rumours were running rampant.

New MacBook Air models feature new Ivy Bridge processors, up to 2GHz dual-core i7, up to 8GB Ram and 60% faster graphics. You’ll be able to have up to 512GB flash storage.
