Here’s a crazy rumor to start off the day. According to Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is planning to make a cameo during Apple’s WWDC keynote. No, he’s not going to be there to crash the stage, but rather speak for seven minutes about Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. According to Chowdhry, Visual Studio 2010 will for the first time allow developers to author native iPhone applications from a Windows machine. If this were to actually happen, it would be quite the coup for Apple to say the least. Thoughts?

UPDATE: Microsoft took to Twitter to dispel this rumor: “Steve Ballmer not speaking at Apple Dev Conf. Nor appearing on Dancing with the Stars. Nor riding in the Belmont. Just FYI.” And that’s that.

    if you want to use .NET to develop iPhone apps, use MonoTouch from the Mono project.

    and the good news is, apple is not blocking apps built using MonoTouch. And while you’re at it, check out MonoDroid for .Net apps running on Android.

    Cool, huh?
