I am not going to review all the new products announced during the keynote. I imagine you have already watched the keynote online and digested the fantastic news. Yes, you already know about the new MacBook Pro line, the Mac OS X Snow Leopard at 29$ and the new iPhone 3Gs, the Exchange integration, Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL. And, if you don’t know what I am talking about, I suggest that you visit the Apple web site, immediately.

It has been a very long day today, but it was worth to come here. Things are becoming better and better for Mac and iPhone developers. The new versions of Xcode, Dashboard and Instruments (available in Snow Leopard) are amazing. I cannot disclose the details, because I am under NDA, but Xcode is in my opinion the best compiler on the market. Apple is reaching the top and nowadays, if you are a developer and you never tried to use the Apple developer Tools, I think you are at least 10 years behind.

When somebody tells me “Xcode is not so good as Visual Studio or Eclipse”, it means only one thing: she/he does not know how to use Xcode. I am going to install Snow Leopard on my main machine together with the new iPhone SDK. Because I want to take advantage of the new technologies as soon as possible. Now, it is also the right time to start again Mac development beside iPhone development.
