•: in the Mac App Store arrived at the beginning of this month, and some developers are still grumbling about the development, saying it reduces the functionality of their apps. They expect it to be a hot topic at WWDC.

"I expect that there will be a lot of discussions around how to resolve the inherent clash between strict sandboxing and the powerful feature sets and automation that Mac users have come to expect from their products," Siegel said.

Other developers don't expect the conversation to get far, however.

"I'm not expecting any surprises there," Hockenberry said. "Apple doesn't want to piss off developers--if you start changing the rules for sandboxing now, you'll piss off a lot of developers. A lot of developers have worked hard to get their apps in the sandbox."

Kafasis, though, was hopeful--pointing out that Apple isn't sandboxing its own apps.
