Apple Prepares Moscone for WWDC 2010

I am so up for this. Thanks MacRumors for the live coverage.

This is going to be my first iPhone and I am so looking forward to it. It's a bit of a luxury but I am justifying it with the things it can do which are practical. N'kay?

Alas, I will probably have to wait a bit to get one, but one will be mine after a few weeks of lust and envy of everyone else's.
 
It's bad enough having to wait for WWDC, but when they unveil the latest and greatest thing, be it OS4 or the next iPhone, spend 30 minutes getting everyone salivating about it, and then Steve says "And this is going to be available in early September" then that's the real killer! I think my 5 year old daughter has more patience than me.

Why can't Apple offer a service where as soon as they announce something new there's a UPS guy outside my front door with one for me?
 
arn, seems like the countdown clock went up a little late this year? Maybe not as much excitement as we probably know at least 80-90% of what is going to happen.

Who wants to buy a 32gb 3GS in great condition? Lol. Time to make the annual journey the marketplace section of the forums. It's that time of the year again! Christmas in July...errr June.

iPhone is obvious, but I'm also hoping for Mac Pros and a new iLife, hopefully 64-bit.

64bit ilife, i digg... and a for me (n00b-terminal-user) a "64bit toggle switch" in the pref-settings pane would be nice!
 
Does having a ticket for WWDC entitle the holder to see the keynote, or is that invitation only? I ask because I'm curious of the possibility of Gizmodo being refused entry/uninvited from the presentation.
 
My predictions:

(1) iPhone OS 4.0 Update w/ many demos we don't want to watch
(2) iPhone HD, demo + availability either Friday the 11th, or 18th
(3) iPad OS 4.0 Demo, beta release, public release in the fall (new features such as Printing, Expose/Dashboard view...although this may wait until 5.0).

I am not very confident that there will be any Mac updates at all this year given this seems to be an iPhone centric event. IF there is, it would have to be either the Macbook Air or the Mac Pro w/ Cinema Display.

I also do not think 10.7 will get a mention either. Hope I am wrong.

As for the Apple TV, I want a new one more than anything else from Apple, but don't expect it to arrive until this September at the iPod Event at the earliest.

No Verizon even brought up.

Overall I think this will be a lackluster event.
 
What I'm expecting:
MacBook Air Update
Mac Pro Update w/ cinema displays
iDevice centric for the rest of keynote
-------------

I'm hoping for Safari 5, iLife '10 and an announcement for 10.7; I'll be happy if they do so much as mention what cat name they plan on using.
 
Just out of curiosity, when was OS3 available for download? directly after the event, or weeks after?

EDIT: sorry for being so lazy,

OS2 was released 2 days after the event

OS3 released 9 days after the event

(according to wiki)
 
Well, I'm looking forward to taking a break from work at my desk reading the liveblog for the keynote. A very long break!

I saw that too.

Apple wants it's own TV station, iAd will pay the networks, producers etc. Hope my AppleTV isn't obsolete next week.

iAd subsidised all you can eat TV + movie subscription model with delivery from iTunes? I’d pay for that. After all, Steve does like to complain about broken markets before he dives in and changes the rules.

At D8 he ripped the TV industries apart for delivery with so many different technologies both nationally and internationally, (that wont change) and sales model of giving away boxes with a subscription. The ‘go to market’ strategy was all wrong as he put it.

The only way to change that is deliver media through a standardised cable that everyone has (broadband) and the media that apple already has on iTunes would (should?) be easily shoehorned into a subscription based Video on Demand service.

Of course not everyone has internet connections that could deliver that volume of video over the wire, but enough do to make it viable. Would also push broadband suppliers to sort out their systems

On a separate note - a couple of years back the worst Broadband suppliers in the UK (headed by Tiscali - whose whole business ethos makes me sick) were trying to blackmail the BBC. They claimed that the sheer volume of traffic on iPlayer would have such a detrimental effect on their systems, that the BBC should pay to upgrade their own telephony systems, otherwise they would throttle access to the BBC websites to "manage" the traffic increase. I believe the public shock and questionable legality of that threat meant they went very silent very quickly after saying it.
 
If it comes out Friday 11th I'll be damn happy...

a) its my birthday
b) world cup starts!

Roll on Monday!
