Even given all the carnage, one group has shown unwavering support.

Despite all of the recent problems for both the stock and the company, Apple (AAPL -0.91%) developers managed to buy out this year's Worldwide Developers Conference in record time. The event underscores the penetration Apple has into the mobile app space relative to Google (GOOGL -1.48%) and Microsoft (MSFT -0.54%).

In the video below, Fool.com contributor Doug Ehrman discusses the importance of the event, why this is such a hot ticket, and what it represents for the industry going forward.
