WWDC is the World Wide Developers Conference that is held every year. Most years Apple has a "Keynote speech" which Steve Jobs will give and he talks about apple and usually uses it as an opportunity to announce new products.

I don't think you will be able to watch it live because the bandwidth issues would make it unwatchable if they had it. Apple puts the speech online that night and you can download it in the itunes store.

macrumors, appleinsider, tuaw usually have a live blog posting updates

WWDC is Apples 'Biggest' Event

This year it's going to be crazily exciting.

There are rumors of an iPhone SDK, .Mac Overhaul, Google Partnership, Headless Desktop, MacBook Thin. Then there's Leopards secret features and god knows what else.

I even made a little cartoon about WWDC this year, check it out

I usually watch the keynotes at 8-9pm (GMT-5), but the conection is not the best until the next day. Just go to Apple's homepage or Quicktime's page and you will find the link(s).

Is all of the new stuff usually announced on the first day WWDC, or is it ongoing?

WOO!

While I'm not at the WWDC, I'll be working my internet mojo to make sure to have updates posted on the YMS blog (see below) as soon as I hear them. Heh, it's always exciting to cover events like this! :D
