This is the worst keynote of all time. iPhone 3GS upgrade for 400/500 dollars on top of the monthly plan that charges as though its subsidized? AT&T never ceases to amaze me.
 
A most excellent keynote, real exciting stuff, apple has spoilt us and preped us really well for Steves return with mactablet!!!!


Go apple!!

I agree, ********* keynote ever. Way to disappoint, Apple (well, more like frickin' AT&T for their horrible terms of service *cough cough* tethering).

The whole media was waiting for a front-facing camera, an appearance by Steve Jobs, but alas, no.

Not to say I'm not a hypocrite and getting the new iPhone 😛
 
Patiently waiting for Podcast.

Very solid announcements, glad to see iPhone 3.0 coming out next week and not next month. Snow Leopard looks a lot more interesting than I'd previously thought and the updates to the laptops (especially the monster price drops here in Aus) are stellar.

The updates to Exposé in Snow Leopard (click on the dock icon and hold) as well as the 512x512 pixels are certainly turning it into something you could easily port to a large touch-screen device...

Something big is in the wind.
 
One of the best keynotes for a while. Solid line up of things to announce. Good job Apple.
 
I wasn't around to see the WWDC keynote. Was there any news about the rumoured Marble UI? Or any mention of the new UI in Snow Leopard at all?

No, unfortunately that and the matte option for the mbps were sorely missing from an otherwise very fullfilling night.
 
of course it wasn't available when i was looking for it earlier 🙄

but better late than never. i was planning on watching while i was eating dinner, but i might try and watch it now
 
I really wonder now about the low end MB - a single model is pretty unusual. I suspect a 10" brother sometime this year.

It's typical practice for all carriers that you don't get a subsized new phone until 18 months after your contract began. Don't believe me? You can go read the fine print for every other carrier in the US. Oligopolies are fun, aren't they?
 
so what do you think now for people who recenly got macbook pros 2 weeks ago. what do we do

I'd say you enjoy your awesome MacBook Pro.

It doesn't suck you know.

Or call Apple and see if you can trade it in.

Re: The Keynote

There should be a split-screen with one camera aimed at the stage and the other camera aimed on the crowd to see the reactions.
 
I was one of the people expecting that this keynote was going to be iPhone-centric with Macs and OS X being treated as an afterthought. Happy to have been proven wrong. 😀
 
Seriously, there were some really good upgrades + price cuts. I give this keynote A. It shows Apple flexibility that we haven't seen... SD card slot, MacBook (Pro) firewire, and pricing... Great news all around. Mini-tower before September maybe? (probably not)
Snow Leopard's pricing is irresistible, smaller footprint is genius.
While I love reading rumors, it is great to be surprised, I guess Steve Jobs was the one leaking information before previous keynotes. 🙂
