WWDC begins on June 10th and will run through June 14th. Apple is set to reveal “the future of iOS and OS X” and possibly a new internet radio service.

“We look forward to gathering at WWDC 2013 with the incredible community of iOS and OS X developers,” said Apple’s SVP of Worldwide Marketing Philip Schiller. “Our developers have had the most prolific and profitable year ever, and we’re excited to show them the latest advances in software technologies and developer tools to help them create innovative new apps. We can’t wait to get new versions of iOS and OS X into their hands at WWDC.”

You can download the WWDC app over at the App Store today.

The app will sport the video creation functionality, explore feature, and seamless Twitter integration that iOS users enjoy. They’ve also added a zoom feature to Vine for Android – something iOS users don’t currently have.

There are a bunch of features, like support for front-facing cameras, push notifications, and hashtags that Android users won’t have at launch. But they’re coming. Vine for Android and Vine for iOS won’t be in sync in terms of their update schedule – at least for now.

“Though we’ve been very focused on releasing Vine for Android, we’ve continued to release updates and add new features to the iOS app. As a result, the two apps are not perfectly in sync, but that won’t be the case for long. Over the coming weeks, you’ll see frequent updates with new features – including front-facing camera, search, mentions and hashtags, and the ability to share to Facebook – as well as bug fixes and performance improvements. Of course, this is only the beginning – we have exciting plans for features that could exist only on Android,” says Vine Android engineer Sara Haider.

And if you were wondering just how popular Vine has been since its launch back in January – as of today, Vine says they now sport over 13 million registered users.

Here’s the link to download the app in Google Play. Unfortunately, it’s dead right now. We’ll update back when it becomes available.

Acquisition rumors aside, Waze is still working on making their app better. Today, they’ve released v3.7 which brings a bunch of new features including Facebook event integration and more.

Now, if you have Facebook connected to Waze, your Facebook events will automatically appear in your Waze navigation lists in the hours before the event is supposed to begin. That way, you can just tap the event when you’re ready to go and get to navigating – no hassle.

“Our vision is to create a completely seamless experience when meeting colleagues, family or friends,” said Yael Elish, VP of Product & Marketing, Waze. “Waze frees you from the hassle of dealing with addresses or coordinating meeting places. One-tap navigation to Facebook Events is only the start…drivers will enjoy much more in upcoming versions soon.”

Waze also added a feature that will show you when your friends are on the way to the same destination that you are. They’ll appear on a new bar on the right-hand side of the map, one which will show you who’s going to get there first.

Here’s Waze’s full list of updates to 3.7:

• Real time and offline “beep beeps” at friends.
• Exclusive moods for map editors – T. Rex, robot and 8-bit.
• Redesigned, sleeker pop-up alerts.
• Inbox has moved to the main menu.
• New 3-state mute button in the main menu (mute, alerts only & on).
• Foursquare check in available from report menu.
• Lock up north added to settings.
• Support for JVC App Link Mode” for compatible in-dash car audio receivers.
• Multiple fixes and optimization and more!

“Looking for a cheap brunch spot that your friends go to, but you haven’t tried yet? With new filtering options in Explore, you can narrow down your search results to find exactly what you’re looking for. Tap the search bar at the top of the screen, then select different options like, ‘price,’ ‘haven’t been,’ ‘saved’ or ‘open now’ to find the perfect spot,” says Foursquare.

Before today’s update, Foursquare allowed users to narrow their searches in variety of ways – by category, trending places, recently opened locations, place they haven’t been before, places friends have been, and so on. With today’s update, Foursquare is letting users narrow their searches through multiple filters.

Here’s what the new filter screen looks like. It’s accesible via a “filter” button when open up the search box.

As you can see, users can now apply different filters at the same time, including price, previous check-ins, open now, and locations that are currently offering specials. You can sort your results by best match of by distance.

Minor update? Maybe. But it’s a useful one. And it also falls in line with Foursquare’s recent push to become a true player in the local search game.

You can grab the update today over at the App Store.

Count one second. Good. In that time, 800 apps were downloaded from Apple’s App Store. That pace means that every month, Apple now sees more that 2 billion app downloads.

“Apple would like to thank our incredible customers and developers for topping 50 billion apps downloaded,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “The App Store completely transformed how people use their mobile devices and created a thriving app ecosystem that has paid out over nine billion dollars to developers. We’re absolutely floored to cross this milestone in less than five years.”

In honor of this milestone, Apple gave away a prize for the lucky person who just happened to download number 50,000,000,000. His name is Brandon Ashmore from Mentor, Ohio, and the lucky app was Say the Same Thing, a word game that lets you and a friend bridge word gaps to find common ground. Today, he’s the proud owner of a $10,000 App Store gift card.

This isn’t the first time Apple has done this sort of promotion for a big milestone. Back in March of 2012, when Apple hit 25 billion app downloads, they gave away another $10,000 gift card to a Chinese man who downloaded the popular puzzle game Where’s My Water.

Apple says that the App Store currently boasts over 850,000 apps. They’ve come a long way from the 500 that they started out with way back in 2008.

If you were wondering, the most popular apps of all time out of those 50 billion downloaded are Angry Birds (paid) and Facebook (free).

Today, Pinterest is taking steps to make the mobile experience better with updates to their iOS and Android apps. Pinterest for iOS v 2.4 and Pinterest for Android v 1.5 are now available.

First up, Pinterest is unveiling new search suggestions inside the app.

“We’ll now suggest search terms as you type on mobile. You can also see recent searches you made from other places, so if you searched for a soup recipe from your computer, you can do the same search when you’re at the grocery store with just your phone to help you. It’s easy to delete these searches from your settings if you want to,” says Pinterest.

As you can see, searching for something like “apple” now yields suggestions for apple-related content. This also works with user search. It’s a small, but useful improvement.

The other additions to come along with today’s update are a long time coming, quite frankly. With the new versions, you can now @ mention other users. Both iOS and Android users can now get notifications as well.

“Now you can see who commented on your pin or mentioned you whenever you have your phone handy. And if you can’t get enough, we’re also introducing push notifications so you can find out what’s happening without even opening the Pinterest app,” says Pinterest.

The iOS update also brings a couple of new features, including the ability to “pin from more places more easily from the web.” This amounts to a prominent “+” button on the homescreen that lets you enter in the url of the item you wish to pin. Not quite as easy as with the desktop version of Pinterest, with that handy pin button, but it does help. iOS users can also now invite friends to group boards from the app.

All Things D reports the buy, which is for an undisclosed amount. Tunigo is a music discovery app that is available on iPhone, Android, and as a Spotify app. Tunigo is playlist-focused, and features hand-curated selections from the Tunigo team as well as ones from the Tunigo community. Playlists are arranged based on moods, events, activities, and more interesting ways.

According to the report, all of Tunigo’s 20 or so employees will become part of Spotify’s team. The Tunigo apps should keep working as usual.

“The acquisition fits into our overall strategy around music discovery, basically helping our users make sense of over 20 million tracks,” a Spotify spokesman told GigaOm.

We mentioned Twitter because the social networking site just recently unveiled their own music discovery service, Twitter Music. That product came out of the acquisition of We Are Hunted, another music discovery app. It’s interesting that Spotify would make this purchase just a couple weeks after Twitter launched their new standalone service, don’t you think?

When accessing Trends on Twitter’s “discover” tab, you’ll now see the option to get “tailored trends” or also to change location. Here’s what Twitter will tell you when you attempt to change location:

“Tailored Trends are based on your location and who you follow which make them more relevant to your interests. If you change location, you’ll see Trends based around geography only.”

You can then pick from dozens of locations – mostly larger cities across the world. if you do so, your trends will simply be based on what’s popular around you – it’ll have nothing to do with who you follow.

Updates to iOS & Android apps: See Trends from all over the world or choose to have Trends tailored to your interests.

With today’s update, replies to retweeted tweets now show both the author of the tweet and the user who retweeted it. Here’s the full list of updates to come along with version 5.6:

See what’s happening near you or around the world by viewing Trends in hundreds of locations.

Also:
• Invite friends to join Twitter from within the app

When shooting your Vine, all you have to do is tap a new button on the bottom-left=hand corner to toggle between using the front-facing and regular camera on your device. Naturally, this will help Vine auteurs who fancy including selfies in their videos.

Vine finally supports @mentions as well.

“Vine now supports mentions, so you can tag people in your post. Users who are mentioned will receive a notification in Activity. To mention a user, type @username and select the name among the suggestions you’ll see. See the screenshot below for an example — when I type @chris, I see suggestions for Chris Fry, Chris Hardwick and Christofer Drew. When I select Chris Hardwick, his Vine profile will automatically link in my post’s caption,” says Vine engineer Kristian Bauer.

Vine’s last iOS app update added trending hashtags to help users surface more content. Vine also recently made videos embeddable via both the web and on mobile.

Last week, Vine co-founder Dom Hofmann confirmed that Vine is coming to Android soon.

You can grab the update for Vine for iOS over at the App Store.
