Uh - I hope we're able to turn off the pop-up nag screens when in an app asking us if we want to buy more stuff. I'm sure they will. It's Apple - right?
 
Oh, FFS just stop the demos Scott. We've never liked them. Yet you keep doing them - why?

Just tell us what's new.

Isn't sims the biggest selling PC game of all time. That means it's not just 12 year olds buying

really??
Such a shame :(

So far I like the updates, though but I want to see more (improved UI + themes,improved resources management and app killing, more productive apps and ban all the farting apps, about copy and paste it's not like I can't do with it but it's welcome)

Boring so far.

-> Still no trial apps.

-> Typical lame Apple battery excuse for no multitasking, by using an unnamed, and no doubt worst case, application.

-> Using Google maps API in apps. That's always been possible.

-> Core location. Ditto. So what if they include a library for direction math.

-> Push notification. Still leaving out the details, I see.

BUt of course, they use Valley Girl phrases like "awesome" and "amazing", because people eat it up.

= yatsy!

This is just the dev side of things so far. The consumer side is on the way.

Fair enough. The real issue making me wait is waiting for my camera to be returned by a friend so I can snap the pictures ;)

As to the question re: why push isn't good enough, it's very simple--ssh. I despise having to start a new session just because I want to check my email or send a text.

Push keeps the connection alive so your session will still be connected
 
Boring? I've gotten everything I want. PUSH, ESPN app, peer to peer sharing. I would not toolbar notifications, but that's not a be all end all.

I think the substantive stuff is over. It's just the demos now, then a round up and that'll pretty much be it.

The other option is that they're keeping the SDK demos along with the SDK discussion. We may go onto non-SDK-related new features next (for example, tethering would likely appear as a standard network to apps rather than need its own API).

No, what I mean is:
Backround apps draining battery 80% faster = expected

That's nonsense. The only thing on Windows Mobile devices that reduces battery life that drastically is using them (not just having them on stand-by, actually using them) with WLAN turned on.
 
external keyboard?

the use of accessories and bluetooth gave me the idea of an external keyboard! u guys remember the old palm keyboards that can fold and u put in ur pocket. would we be able to use bluetooth keyboards now? this would be great for taking notes in lectures! if this is true, im selling my macbook!
