yep today at 10am PST at the WWDC apple dev conference :yes:

Most people expect an actual date for iphone os4 (and hopefully ipad 4 although later from what I know) perhaps some new mac minis etc.. and of course a new iphone is expected

[Skywatcher]

Nope I shall resist....

[catrancher]

Nope I shall resist....

"Resistance is useless!"

Tom (:macwave:... have you no respect for the planning council?)

[Skywatcher]

Fair point

[Claire]

What is 10am PST in real money? Is that 6pm?

[Skywatcher]

Jus aaafer evensong and afore the crows start roostin'

[Claire]

Jus aaafer evensong and afore the crows start roostin'

Have you been out in the midday sun again?

[catrancher]

Jus aaafer evensong and afore the crows start roostin'

He's not a well person. He's really not. :taunt:

Tom (:macwave:... off his meds again, he is!)

[josh.p.]

Any idea where I can watch it live?

[Keith]

Any idea where I can watch it live?

in san jose California! better get a move on though if you want to catch the plane!

[catrancher]

Any idea where I can watch it live?

Yeah. You can't. :thumbsdown:

The best you can do is monitor the Keynote from sites like MacWorld (http://www.macworld.com/article/151730/2010/06/liveupdate.html). Apple never broadcasts the keynote live. You have to rely on the media to provide real time coverage.

Later, Apple will post the keynote on their developer web site but only after it's long over.

Tom (:macwave:... and now, live from the Presidio! Oh wait. Not yet!)

[catrancher]

in san jose California! better get a move on though if you want to catch the plane!

Actually, that won't work either for two reasons.

It's sold out! :eek:
It's in San Francisco, not San Jose. :ROFL:


Tom (:macwave:... San Jose, San Francisco, it's all the left coast!)

Reading the mans medical history is seriously Whoa!, and I mean whoa - I have never ever ever seen anyone live after one of the original ops he had for more than 5 weeks, I kid you not, then we have the liver transplant.

Perhaps at one of these things we will anounce he is the iJobs android of the future and then shoot laser beams out of his eyes whilst playing an mp3

seriously though, you can't help but want to wrap the man in cotton wool when you see him :sigh:

[Keith]

Apple never broadcasts the keynote live. You have to rely on the media to provide real time coverage.


..and yet when they used to, we all crowded round monitors, people stayed late at work, ordered pizzas, had a great apple chat etc.

I guess it ended up requiring too much bandwidth! but it's terrible that they don't broadcast it any more :(

[Skywatcher]

ach I've just asked someone if they knew the way to San Jose ;)

[Keith]

dunno about that, of the two of them, I prefer Bill Gates

Tom (:macwave:... now... live... from the cereal state. Fruits, Nuts, and Flakes!)

[Keith]

Gonna be a weird one this one :/

I want iphone os4 but I want ipad os4 more and I expect a delay on that one.

I dont care about a new iphone.. in fact I really dont want there to be one because I dont want to feel like I have to upgrade :lol: but I know there will be.

mac mini would be useful, need to buy a new one for work to continue the assimilation.

new imac? if its 27 or larger, someone just shoot me.

new mac pro, dont care, not used the mac pro since I got the imac.

new monitors? I have the imac, dont care!

new apple tv? whatever, the old one was naff anyway

new macbook? well I always get macbook pros so wouldnt be interested

I kinda hope theres some new software I guess :D

Yep. I miss that too! But this way, they can further promote the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field.

Prolong the sense of mystery as it were. :laughhard:

Tom (:macwave:... it's a mystery!)

[catrancher]

I kinda hope theres some new software I guess :D

There's rumors afoot that they're going to split out "Final Cut" into another version (beyond Express) that will be more prosumer oriented.

Love to see some more goodness come into the iLife suite. Not sure what to be honest. Just more "stuff"! Plugins for iMovie? :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... waits patiently... http://homepage.mac.com/twgower/.pictures/smilies/popcorn.gif)

[Keith]

Perhaps they'll have fixed macosx the way I keep asking them to :D

[catrancher]

Are you referring to the Whipple procedure? :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... just curious!)

[Skywatcher]

If I can get wireless printing on the ipad then the days of using my macbook pro look limited :yes:

Doesn't matter how impressive the new imac is I am so utetrly smitten with the 27inch I could never need or want anything else - best desktop ever ever ever

[Skywatcher]

Are you referring to the Whipple procedure? :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... just curious!)

Yep whipples is an horrendous proceedure

[catrancher]

I am so utetrly smitten with the 27inch I could never need or want anything else

until... :taunt:

We've all been there and done that! :mental:

Tom (:macwave:... but someday...)

[Skywatcher]

I really don't see the need for a screen bigger than 27 inches my house isn't that big :lol:

[catrancher]

I really don't see the need for a screen bigger than 27 inches my house isn't that big :lol:

Who said anything about a bigger display (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/11/07/apple-researching-virtual-reality-headsets/)? :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... welcome to MacInWorld!)

[Keith]

yay ibooks now supports pdfs! Tom, that ones for you!

[catrancher]

yay ibooks now supports pdfs! Tom, that ones for you!

And bookmarks! And notes! :happydance:

Tom (:macwave:... now, back to our regularly scheduled keynote!)

[catrancher]

...it's closest kin is like a beautiful old Leica camera! :mental:

Tom (:macwave:... we're doomed Keith!)

[Keith]

:laugh: as long as the price isn't Leica

[Deafjeff]

Looks like we going to have iphone 4 24% thinner.... it will use Micro-sim card...

[catrancher]

:laugh: as long as the price isn't Leica

Naw... not to worry. Probably more like Hasselblad. :mental:

Tom (:macwave:... at some point, price becomes superfluous!)

[Deafjeff]

and it use 'retina display', and it quadruples, as reported, the pixel density of the last iPhone. You now get an industry leading 326 pixels per inch in the iPhone 4

[Skywatcher]

How can it be thinner? If it gets any thinner it will start falling into the gaps between the atoms of my pockets and slip into another dimension

Seriously there must be a limit

Or will he only be happy when his products cause paper cuts

[Deafjeff]

OOOPS!

While trying to show off the iPhone 4’s new retina display by comparing web pages, Steve Jobs encountered an unfortunate problem with the Moscone center’s WiFi.

Making a hat tip to Google’s problems at their IOKeynote, Jobs joked: “You could help me out by getting off of WiFi.” Unfortunately, his problems didn’t end there, as when he switched to a backup iPhone 4, he got the dreaded “Could not activate cellular network.”

Giving up on web pages, Jobs apologized: “I’m sorry guys, I just don’t know what’s going on. Scott, you got any suggestions?”

A perfect audience response: someone shouted out “Verizon!”

[Deafjeff]

Confirming that Apple’s not just dabbling in the chip game, Steve Jobs has just confirmed that the iPhone 4 uses the Intrinsity-designed A4 CPU, just like in the iPad.

But that’s not where the hardware changes stop. Revealing the back of the device, Jobs shows that it is backed to the gills, and just like in the Gizmodo prototype, most of the iPhone 4’s internals are made up of battery.

The iPhone 4 will come with up to 32GB of storage, quadband HSDP / HSUPA with 7.2 MBps down and 5.8 Mbps up, dual mic noise suppression, 802.11n WiFi and GPS.

What kind of battery life are we talking? Seven hours on 3G, six on browsing through 3G, 10 on WiFi, 10 on Video, 40 on music and 300 hours standby.

The iPhone’s also about to get a lot more interactive with the addition of a three-axis gyroscope, which in combination with the accelerometer provides 6-axis motion sensing.

[Deafjeff]

Iphone 4 going to have 5mp camera, LED flash and ability to take photo in low light setting.

750p filming with imovies build in.....

[catrancher]

OMG :eek:

[Deafjeff]

Iphone OS4 is now called IOS4

[Deafjeff]

[Keith]

Hmm I am on an 18 month iPhone contract due to end in august. Are they likely to offer me anything?

[Deafjeff]

Will see if I can upgrade early when I get back from Orlando....

[Skywatcher]

Along the lines of...... Extend your contract and give us another £200 and we will give you a new shiny?

[Keith]

[Deafjeff]

iOS 4 Available June 21st, Free To All 3G, 3Gs and iPod Touch Users (cult of mac)

Well if I can unlock the 3G then Lisa can have this one on her virgin contract

[Claire]

Only a fortnight away!

[catrancher]

....... So I wonder if there will be another keynote about iPad os then as nothing was said........

That and the Mac itself. I was kind of hoping for some kind of announcement about iLife upgrades. :sigh:

But I suppose you go where the big bucks are. I just hope they don't forget how they got there in the first place. :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... still waiting!)

[Britchick]

Hmm I am on an 18 month iPhone contract due to end in august. Are they likely to offer me anything?

Moi aussi!

[Keith]

Well if I can unlock the 3G then Lisa can have this one on her virgin contract

yep just done this recently (just for the heck of it) O2 now unlock all contract iphones free (15quid on pay as you go I think). You fill in the online form and a few days later you get a text telling you to attach to itunes, then its job done :)

[josh.p.]

Hmm.. weighing up this new phone vs iPad. I think I'll go with the phone in sept :yes:

[Keith]

Was talking to an apple uk guy and ok they always boast about how much they know and cant say but I got the feeling they were 150% excited about iphone/ipad and the iOS. It's where they see everything going. It's completely under their control, they can make sure any app released is apple-friendly etc. They love it.

I asked about macosx (as you know, a hobby horse of mine) and face dropped and it was like "oh THAT"

I'm sure updates will come but right now I get the feeling that the they're all out for the trendy new iOS

[catrancher]

I get the feeling that the they're all out for the trendy new iOS

That's the impression I'm left with also. :sigh:

One should never forget one's roots. I suppose this means that there's no hope for the Apple II either. :ROFL:

Tom (:macwave:... let's all go back to 5 1/4 inch floppies!)
