I hope the notification reminders replaces the Spotlight screen not the first page of apps.

If we get widgets, I think theyd go on the spotlight screen. Maybe notifications will appear in an overlay when you bring up the app switcher, like iOS.

First of all there is Spotlight, do you really expect Apple to add such features like QuickSilver? What about 3rd party devs? They need a job right?

Just install QuickSilver or Alfred and stop whining.


Because FYI that thing of yours i replied to isn't exactly a shining beacon of intelligence either.

They should designate seats so there's no need for a line. The Apple population sure loves its lines.
 
I just saw a picture of Moscone on flickr (here), and it's clear that there are a few covered banners on the top floor. There's also an uncovered banner on the second floor... can anyone make out what it is?

If it's uncovered, then it's just one of the iCloud/lion/iOS banners.

OK. Just another mindless knee-jerk fanboy reaction. I just wondered if your conniption had any substance. Yes, I would like Apple to add a feature like Quicksilver. Or buy it out. You have a problem with that, then I'm not sorry. I suppose I should just go and buy a Dell?
 
anybody else get the feeling that the openness about the whole "lion + icloud + ios5" stuff is just a distraction for "one more thing..."?

But then they couldn't change switcher to a full screen Mission Control type experience...

I thought Widgets would be more like Active Icons but a range of icons sizes. so they take up the space of Two or Four normal icons. With say a folder-like expanded info function (which could wait till iOS6).

It's amazing how some seem to be so critical and threatening againt the company that totally changed everything in the last 5 years. :rolleyes:

Looking forward most to iOS 5... It should be like getting a new iPad and iPhone.

It's all about the hype.

Apple get's tons of free publicity from the press when there are long lines so are unlikely to give it up, even if it would benefit their developers (or customers on product launch days).
 
My last minute thoughts:

- Lion
- iOS 5
- iCloud
- Revamped MobileMe for $49/year (incl. iCloud)
- Rebranded iDisk as iCloud for $25/year
- No @icloud.com addresses
- Dead iSync
- iCloud syncing taking over most of the iTunes bloat
- iTunes 11 for, um, tunes
- iWork '11
- June 14th, Lion launch via MAS
- Lion physical media launch 2-4 weeks later

If the new notification system turns out to be a silly little black bar then ones got to wonder what the heck they have been doing for the last year...they need to freshen up the interface...its 4 years old!!

I think there won't be new iWork version. 99$ is ok, but there should be a mont trial.

Indeed, the iWork team has been working on the iPhone versions.

iCloud will be priced much more aggressively than $99. Maybe even a free year with a hardware purchase.

I hope so...its a pretty underwhelming wwdc otherwise.

- Lion doesn't seem to be bringing anything major to the table and almost looks like a maintenance release to get its design tweaked to be more in line with iOS

- iOS 5 from the sounds of things will add a new notifications system and widgets

- iCloud is something many of us wont bother with or will continue to use tried and trusted services such as Dropbox and other S3 based sync services.

I dont think that iWork 11 would be there, iSync would still be there because they would have to finalise iCloud..... in saying that though if you could intergrate mobileme and iCloud that would be awesome, which would do away with PC syncing, and possibly lower the price..... and they need to make sure that the currency conversion for australia is alot better cause our dollar is doing alot better than what apple says it is....

We shall find out tomorrow (Brisbane AEST):D
