Thank you for that. I needed something . . sheeesh. I'm sweatin' over here dreaming of my phone and tablet.
If we stick with how we usually go by clues in Apple's posters released prior to events, I would speculate that the bridge might actually represent connection even though far away
? I thought the video chat might be true and now I'm almost positive.Some one already posted this, http://youtube.com/watch?v=dsG4EN57qsQ
But that obviously fits what they are doing, since this is a 24 hour show and they supposedly filmed something in L.A.

Of course I can't watch youtube at work, can you summarize that video in a sentence or two? No big deal if you don't want to.
its SJ at macworld 05 talking about apple retail
he then plays a video about apple retail stores - like a promo for (property) developers
details things such as numbers of visitors, store facilities (genius bar etc), store locations, sales figures
at the end it says 'apple retail stores, the fastest growing retail chain, and we're just getting started'
Sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes, I seriously wrote that post when I woke up. I sure love summer, but i guess it doesn't work out too well when writing on forums.
Here is another idea, I still want to stand by the idea that it is simply a promo video to showcase the Apple Retail Stores, but this one is kind of interesting.
What if this year at WWDC, similarly to how they did in 2001 with this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD-Fu3OdwP4, they center the keynote around the store, or at least what it offers. What i mean by that is they kind of walk around to each area of the store and then talk about the many new developments at each area. I realize this is a stretch and doesn't necessarily seem like something Apple would do; after all they have been doing fine with things like that in the past. Either way i think it would be interesting if they did it and that might be what they are doing. Even though the 5th Avenue store can be labeled one of the most beautiful Apple Retail Stores; if they were to center a video around a store i would think they would do that with there new one which is now the largest in the U.S. to showcase it.
However, like i said, i think a simple promo to highlight the Apple Retail Stores and the improvements they and Apple have made over the years. Makes sense to me.

I just realized that Apple is telling us that the new iPhone will in fact have true GPS.
Apple has a habit of putting a little hint in the catch phrase used for different product releases. When they released the Macbook Air the slogan was "There is something in the air".
Now they are saying "A landmark event. In more ways than one". The "landmark" is referring to the true GPS in the new iPhone.

I walked by the store after work at about 1230am last night. 5th avenue was closed from 63rd to just south of the store. Cross town traffic was severely limited. The PA's/security people gave you very funny looks if you even looked like you were going to walk towards the set. It seemed all they were doing was shooting shots off the crane at the time. It will be interesting to see where the footage actually gets used.
Who asked you to? Someone who was already there with said camera would be the one to do it.
If its just filming the store for a WWDC video or something, then why is there so much security and why is it so secretive what is going on inside? Could they have a product in there that they don't want us to see (yet)?
Apple has confused me .... again. I don't know why I'm not used to it by now.
Also, the landmark and GPS sounds good. It is one of the better ideas so far.

Why are there two Golden Gates Bridges in the WWDC poster? Last time I checked, there was only one. I thought it could be the SF-Oakland bridge, but there's no way since the SF-O isn't red and various other logistical problems. Has anyone brought this up?
Read the part under the bridge. The top line reads:
Everything Mac. Everything iPhone. San Francisco, June 9-13, 2008.
I think each bridge represents a platform. One platform is Mac (somethings coming to Mac) and the other is iPhone / iPod Touch (3G iPhone and 2.0 firmware). This also means that nothing will happen to the non-touch iPods during WWDC because iPod is another platform.
Also, landmark event is referring to one of the features in the new iPhone, GPS.
Well, that is my speculation.
EDIT: Added the part about the iPod.
The SDK/new softwares are still only limited to iphone/touch.. there has to be a tablet thing or something (newton?) It is potentially a massive platform
You're welcome. Glad we could provide some coverage and insight.
By the way, theiLife is fully back up and operational.
No one directly asked me to, but look at all the posts that say "Ooh, Apple's making a commercial!" or "Someone should have a telescope lens camera & take pictures." As of this post, there are about 470 posts, pretty much all saying that. Just ridiculous IMO. This is just like Star Trek/Star Wars fans.
I think one bridge is for iPhone, the other is for Mac. If there's a reason why they have the bridges growing farther apart, I don't know it.
