Steve Jobs to Give Keynote at WWDC on June 9th

[icantbelieveit]

Fortune claim that Steve will make his keynote on the first day of the WWDC and will announce the iPhone at this time:

Although no official announcement has been made, Apple public relations confirmed to Fortune that Steve Jobs will deliver a keynote address on June 9, the first day of the 2008 World Wide Developers conference.

It is widely expected that Jobs will use that speech to unveil the next generation of iPhones, including a so-called 3G model.

Not really new information, but just confirmation that Apple PR have confirmed Jobs will talk to us on the first day, so iPhone announcement June 9th then?

Fortune's Apple 2.0 blog received (http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/05/12/3g-iphone-steve-jobs-to-deliver-keynote-june-9/) confirmation from Apple's public relations that Steve Jobs would be delivering the keynote speech at Apple's Wordwide Developer's Conference on Monday, June 9th.Although no official announcement has been made, Apple public relations confirmed to Fortune that Steve Jobs will deliver a keynote address on June 9, the first day of the 2008 World Wide Developers conference.Of course, it's no surprise that Steve Jobs will be delivering the keynote speech at WWDC, but it had not been formally announced or scheduled (http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/events/). Apple, of course, is widely expected to deliver the next version of the iPhone at WWDC.

Great... now what's he going to give it about?

It would be hilarious if he introduced the new iPhone without 3G. FANBOY RIOT!!!

[LillieDesigns]

Sweet. I hope he pulls out 'one more thing' this year.

[smkmn13]

G5 POWERBOOKS!!!
:p

[Mykbibby]

G5 POWERBOOKS!!!
:p

We joke about that now, but in a few years, we all know it will be 3G iPhone that will take it's place...

new MacBook pros so I can go to college in style

[Antares]

Here comes the iPadd....

[Shasterball]

I wonder what he'll wear!

[Shasterball]

Here comes the iPadd....

If you are from Boston, there's been many generations of iPads (or iPods for everyone else).

[forafireescape]

I'm so shocked.

[amac4me]

I wonder what he'll wear!

Anyone want to bet on a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and white sneakers?

[forafireescape]

Anyone want to bet on a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and white sneakers?

I'll take that bet :)

[BornAgainMac]

I bet Steve says three things. That it is the biggest developer conference in Apple's history. And some mention about gaining marketshare. And one more thing.

[iSlave]

Steve Jobs is gonna be at WWDC?? Really...?? This news, along with yet another 'hint' about the 3G iPhone, AND the groundbreaking revelation I just heard about a bear <ykw> in the woods, makes this the most surprising day ever.

[dead_parrot]

"That's right folks. We're bringing back Mac OS 7"

[richard.mac]

I'll take that bet :)

no no! it might be black shoes, or brown pants or a black shirt. you never know!?

[zelmo]

While it's nice to get the confirmation, it would be far more newsworthy if Steve didn't have a keynote at WWDC.:eek:

[Lepton]

Announcing the "iPhone Black"! The same old phone you love, but now in rich, deep "Black"!

[Dagless]

Well that's a shock, I thought Papa Lazarou was going to do it.

[amac4me]

Announcing the "iPhone Black"! The same old phone you love, but now in rich, deep "Black"!

Maybe he'll pull it out from under his sleeve ... you know he always wears a black turtleneck. Steve Jobs the magician!!

[zv470]

I wonder if today's quake in china is going to affect 3G iPhone shipments? Sorry that's an insensitive question, but someone had to ask it. :I

[fastbite]

2 new Iphones coming?

[Santa Rosa]

Announcing the "iPhone Black"! The same old phone you love, but now in rich, deep "Black"!

Funny you should say that: AppleInsider Story (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/05/12/att_now_showing_iphone_black_model_in_device_listing.html)

Maybe he'll pull it out from under his sleeve ... you know he always wears a black turtleneck. Steve Jobs the magician!!

I reckon he will regurgitate it, then slide it out of his mouth. Had to go to extreme measures to keep it secret you know...

Hope everyone has their countdown to WWDC dashboard widget!!

Countdown to WWDC Widget (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/countdowntowwdc2008.html)

[psychofreak]

I just hope its a full SteveNote, no shuffling the responsibility to Phil and others.

[bpa1093]

Let me guess..

"First off, I'd like to share a few statistics with you"

[MightyB]

Good News: It's my birthday so I will be able to spend $$'s!!!

Bad News: I'll be on vacation with limited internet access. :-(

[Prometheus2000]

Well not quite but still...

But great, I like to listen to Steve's presentation, he has a very good way to present and explain things. I would buy an iToilett from him if he would present one, with speakers and integrated iPod of course.

Just contrast that with people like Steve "Monkeyman" Balmer.

Jesus.

A.B.

[iSlave]

Maybe that's what the picture of the bridge represents? Steve Jobs' two fingers to Ballmer off in the distance?

[JeffDM]

I can't say anyone should be surprised by this, although maybe there's a chance of another "tag team" keynote like last year.

[iSlave]

I can't say anyone should be surprised by this, although maybe there's a chance of another "tag team" keynote like last year.

A tag team?? Ooh Jobs and Schiller in spandex....lemme at 'em!!! :p

[Phillyzero]

Yeah, it's no surprise, or really that newsworthy either (unless info was somehow leaked about what he'd be saying).

[Santa Rosa]

A tag team?? Ooh Jobs and Schiller in spandex....lemme at 'em!!! :p

Thats instantly what I thought with the term "tag team" lol, but then it got more twisted as I thought it was "double team" you get the jist... lets not go there lol :eek:

[Sky Blue]

Well that's a shock, I thought Papa Lazarou was going to do it.

Dave? Your mmmmmmyyyyyy iPhone nooow!

[Quillz]

I guess as obvious as it is, things like this always have to be officially confirmed.

[Prometheus2000]

Maybe that's what the picture of the bridge represents? Steve Jobs' two fingers to Ballmer off in the distance?

I think the rumor has it that now that they didn't spend all that money on the Yahoo deal, Ballmer is ordering a Macbook Air a day and smashes it as first thing in the morning to get the mind clear for having to work on a Vista machine all day long....

:)

[stagi]

i hope they announce a new tablet device. and of course the next iphone :D

[MidiMonk]

Maybe his wi-fi will continuously drop and will get acknowledgment that MBP's have a big problem.

Oh wait, it doesn't exist:mad:

[headfuzz]

"And one more thing... Apple has today acquired Yahoo!" :eek:

:p

[phatspider]

Anyone want to bet on a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and white sneakers?

New Balance

[funkyp56]

I thought this was sorta funny.....maybe not........


You are chatting with Renee D, an Apple Expert
Hi, my name is Renee D. Welcome to Apple!
Good morning.

I think there is a problem with the website. It wont let me buy an iPhone
it says currently unavailable

Am i on the wrong screen?

At this time, I do not have any specific information. You can view the most up-to-date availability of the [product] online http://apple.com/store.

ok. Can I buy them somewhere else?

You can try the Apple Store in your area or the nearest AT&T store.

Im not sure I understanf, is it currently unavailable from my computer or could I use another computer to buy one

apologize for the inconvenience, but the iPhone is currently unavailable for purchase from the Apple Online Store.

Thanks Renee

You might not be that far off...

[gkarris]

Great... now what's he going to give it about?

It would be hilarious if he introduced the new iPhone without 3G. FANBOY RIOT!!!

Instead, Jobs will announce his retirement and the sale of the company to Michael Dell.... :eek:

[berkleeboy210]

OMG! I think I'm going to pass out this news is SOOOO shocking!!! Not! :D

Bring on June 9th! iPhone 2.0 and iTablet! :apple:

[Lesser Evets]

a) Mac Book air improved - bigger hard drive *crowd squeals and swoons*
b) iPhone is improved - more memory *crowd squeal erupts*
c) MacPros improved - bigger hard drives *crowd begins in surge*
d) iMacs improved - bigger hard drives * crowd pushes forward in anger*

ONE MORE THING...

e) iMacs have colors again! *crowd kills Steve Jobs*

[mmendoza27]

If I remember correctly, doesn't Steve usually give the keynote on Tuesday? Isn't it kind of weird that he's doing it on Monday?

Meanwhile, the Mini continues to be sold with the same specs, price, and the wonderful GMA950 graphics chip.... :eek:

[Kar98]

"That's right folks. We're bringing back Mac OS 7"

...and now that we switched to Intel CPUs, and just bought a chip manufacturer, we're going back to Motorola. Also, Microsoft will ditch Vista and replace it with a Windows-skinned OSX 10.6. And since the Hammerhead GPS chipset only costs $2 a pop, we'll be adding TomTom 7 to the iPhone.

give me a macbook air, $200 cheaper, with a 160gb standard drive, and i'm sold.

[twoodcc]

i guess all kinda knew that this was coming. though i thought it was usually on a tuesday

[EagerDragon]

IMHO iPhone 3G will not be the big ticket announcement, the big ticket will be the new device, also a small mention about 10.6, probably the cat name and more details at Jan conference.

Or they could announce that they purchased Dell and are giving the money back to the shareholders. Now that would be a hoot!!!!!!!!!!

[Cleverboy]

1.) Review of 3G iPhone released last month.
2.) Firmware 2.0 walk-thru.
3.) Review new AppStore and publishing process in depth.
4.) SDK will be finished in a couple of weeks.
5.) Desktop and Mobile Safari adoption has been terrific!
6.) AT&T now gives free Wi-Fi access with all plans.

And one more thing!

7.) "Hello, Again." Apple reintroduces the new multi-touch Newton running OS X. AppStore for Newton. Resolution independent graphics support. Thin! Ships in July. $799.

~ CB

[macerroneous]

1 A country "runs out of iphones"
2 Shipments resume to that country with new 3g phones which are otherwise identical to the old models but are only functional on edge
3 June 9 Steve "turns on the lights" and announces "we're already shipping the new phone and as of now, we're activating 3g!"
4 oh... and one more thing...

[Santa Rosa]

If I remember correctly, doesn't Steve usually give the keynote on Tuesday? Isn't it kind of weird that he's doing it on Monday?

Nope, start of WWDC, which is the Monday.

I thought the new Newton is already out. It's called ipod Touch...

[mmendoza27]

Nope, start of WWDC, which is the Monday.

my bad, you are exactly right, 2007 and 2006 both were on Monday. Great for me, that's one day less to wait!! I can't wait to buy a 3G iPhone!!

That would be the most disappointing WWDC ever! No new MacBook Pros?? I want a significant MbP update, new form factor based on the Air but bigger, with a swappable Bluray/battery drive. I'm willing to spend big bucks in June, so bring it on Steve!

[Cleverboy]

I thought the new Newton is already out. It's called ipod Touch... That's an iPod. The Newton will be 6"x9" with a 1024 x 768 resolution LCD, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, upgradeable memory, but still no removeable batteries. Grown men will cry, and little girls will scream. It will change the world.

[andyr2120]

Announcing the "iPhone Black"! The same old phone you love, but now in rich, deep "Black"!

The question is "how much more black can it be? and the answer is none. None more black."

Sorry for the reference.....

[wchong]

Case Redesigns + Updates On Mbp And Mb!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaryMacGuy]

He will say:
Boom about 45 times
Better and Better and Better about 10 times
Revolutionary 15 times
automatically (or as he says it otamatically) 10 times

He will announce the name of the next version of Mac OS X but then say "but we won't be talking about that today"

There will be 3 Special Guests

And to start off the keynote, the PC Guy will announce an Apple merger with Microsoft.

[Kwill]

I'm so shocked.

Hmm, I wonder what Steve will talk about. :rolleyes:

That's the best summary on the planet!

[bytethese]

Anyone want to bet on a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and white sneakers?

I hear the line in Vegas is 5-100 that he will be wearing this combination and 100-1 on anything else. :)

[ipedro]

no no! it might be black shoes, or brown pants or a black shirt. you never know!?

I think he would steal the show if he wore something else. The reports on how Steve Jobs wore a white shirt and black pants would drown out the media reports on the iPhone.

"Is Jobs quitting the company?" "Is the Apple CEO indicating that he's switching directions with his bold new wardrobe?"

[SciTeach]

Yes! We can all play Steve Jobs BINGO again!!!:D:p

[MacsRgr8]

So, next Tuesday we'll see the "Black" iPhone with 3G.

WWDC we'll see iPhone 2.0 software come out, and maybe even some built-in GPS?

How about new displays this time?
Ditch the 20".
Lineup: 24", 27", 30"
Much thinner, and glossy as an option.
HDMI input added to DVI?

Update the Mac mini...?

[lazyrighteye]

I wonder what he'll wear!

FTW!

[hayesk]

If I remember correctly, doesn't Steve usually give the keynote on Tuesday? Isn't it kind of weird that he's doing it on Monday?

WWDCs start on Monday, but that brings up a point - everyone is forgetting that this is a developer conference. It's going to be geared toward them, not consumers in general. I was there two years ago, and the new things were the MacPro and a Leopard sneak peak.

[RoDe]

GO Steve, give me a new and much improved MBP!!!!!!:D

[Project]

everyone is forgetting that this is a developer conference.

Erm. Really?

[CaryMacGuy]

WWDCs start on Monday, but that brings up a point - everyone is forgetting that this is a developer conference. It's going to be geared toward them, not consumers in general. .

The iPhone has become a developement platform so any changes and upgrades affect the developers. Sure it wouldn't be appropriate to intro a new non-touch iPod or Apple TV at WWDC because that is a closed platform (for now).

Plus, all eyes are on any keynote that Steve gives.

[iJah420]

Jobs should come out on stage with a red turtleneck.. Just Like Garcia used to do!

I tell you what boys and girls the FUN! has yut Begun.

Apple Rocks!

iJah420 says can't wait. :apple:

[macman7002]

Do you think we will see a new MacBook Pro? And if we do, do you think it would be enough of a redesign to wait until then to get one? My biggest hope for WWDC is an iPhone/iPod Touch Docking Station. Just an idea.

[iJah420]

Would LOVe to see an iSlate.

I mean how cool would that be..? Like the size of an EtchASketch.
But Thin..

My gut tells me there is one in the works.

iSketch

iPad

iOrb

iSlice

iSurf

iDo

iDoodle?

Me would like to touch one.

the ideas are endless...

iJah420 says :rolleyes:

[DMann]

An unusual break from the usual Tuesday Keynote at WWDC. Looking forward.

[Rocketman]

WWDC content likely from public leaks andannouncements:

OSX 10.5.3
CPU Hardware associated with that
iPhone SDK not Beta
iPhone 2 firmware
CPU hardware associated with that
iTunes studio add announcements
iTunes rentals
External discs with Time Machine on ATV and AE.
Email push on .Mac
Blackberry on iPhone
Enterage on iPhone
Lotus Notes on iPhone

keep going guys.

[GXPvince]

Updated Displays anyone? ;)

sounds pretty good, is there a way to watch this while it happens? sorry for the n00bish question, but can i watch it online?

You will be able to get a live text feed of the event, and you can watch the actual keynote video a few hours afterwards, once Apple get it onto their site.

[surferfromuk]

About as left-field an announcement but given the games expose of the SDK - who knows ???

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/05/12/apple_games_handheld/

[rrijkers]

iJeans! :cool:

[PowerFullMac]

Updated Displays anyone? ;)

Only if you can find pics of them in a elevator :D

[Niiro13]

I'm guessing the Mac Tablet and iPhone? Both of them looked interesting in the MacLife magazine.

Hmm, since it's developers conference, Mac Tablet might be possible considering it uses the OS X and so programming on it would be like a combo between iPhone and Mac.

[Tallest Skil]

So this year... I'd say an EBC of nine.

...Estimated "Boom" Count.

That's a good number to go by if WWDC is to be bigish.

[gmoney550]

I'm so surprised... NOT!!! :p

[naroola]

Steve will turn on the RDF on June 9th!!! :apple:

[JGowan]

Anyone want to bet on a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and white sneakers?And a squeezable water bottle with the little pull-out plastic top.

[crunchb3rry]

#&%@ the iPhone. I wish they'd show some iPod Touch love. I'd love a remodeling so the screen consumes the entire front (like the many similar fake mock-ups prior to release), AM/FM tuner, and 64GB. They do that and I'm dusting off the credit card.

I'm just tired of no news on the iPod, as if it's an abandoned product. Even searching for news on it gives you nothing but a pile of iPhone stories to dig through.

[EricNau]

I for one am surprised. Based on his sickly appearance at the last keynote, I was sure he wasn't going to be feeling up to another. :rolleyes: ;)

[gusapple]

Sweet. I hope he pulls out 'one more thing' this year.

That's the only thing that's for sure.

[MattInOz]

I'm sort of surprised no talk of 10.6 Preview.
It is WWDC after all.
There needs to be a couple of Developer centric API's previewed unless they are looking to run Leopard out past the 3year mark.

[Peace]

Developers Developers Developers Developers !

Leopard hasn't even been out for a year yet. I wouldn't imagine talk of 10.6 until the 2009 WWDC. New releases of System 10 seem to be happening every 18-21 months now.

[MattInOz]

Leopard was first Presented to WWDC 2005 even thought at the time the release time frame was end of 2006ish. 18months or more of cooking time. Was only a few months after the Tiger release.

I guess it depends on what features are planned, if it's stuff that is mostly only useful if developers integrate it, which would seem to be the main scope for improvement anyway.

[Santa Rosa]

And a squeezable water bottle with the little pull-out plastic top.

Priceless, it would be funny if he spilt it over all the new stuff.

<Insert Funny Past Story while backstage crew go on the scramble>

And we're back. Much laughter and applause...
