OS X iPhone and OS X Leopard Banners at WWDC

[netdog]

Why did MacRumors post a smaller picture?

Clearly these are the two bridges... OS X Leopard and OS X iPhone. I am thinking that .Mac will evolve into me.com and mobileme.com and there will be some sort of juggling of data to present and manage data appropriately for each platform in .Mac's backend.

What is the macbook air looking thing behind the iphone in the poster on the wall? If it is to scale with the iphone, then it is about 7-8" or so.

What if it's the other way round??? Maybe that's a picture of the MacBook Air with the new tablet in front of it...

Just a thought...

thanks for the info Steve,

now tell us something we don't know

Wait until next monday, 10pm PST (or is it PDT)?

 

[megfilmworks]

..... The iphone is pretty crappy? Well that's just funny!

I fixed your punctuation.

 

[trojan675]

Why does it say "OS X iPhone" and not just "iPhone" or "Apple iPhone"? I know, I know the iPhone has OS X on it, but it still looks strange to me.

because they are updating the iPhone OS
2.0...........

 

[Bye Bye Baby]

Something else

Looks like there is a search icon on the right hand side of the macbook.

I hope that means that there will be a full functional search (spotlight) for the iphone.

 

[Sky Blue]

What's the orange icon on the right side?

 

[megfilmworks]

That's the accelerometer icon.

Maybe, but it could be a GPS icon as it looks similar to a GPS fix (waypoint) icon.

Because now it's a development platform. It wasn't last year. This is a developers convention. Not a consumer one.

Just to tease those people craving for a new Newton, I would say: if OS X iPhone is now a platform, wouldn't that imply that there'll be more diverse hardware products for it?

I mean to ask: as it is -- one single model of a hardware product (iPhone), plus a software product (OS X for iPhone) --, would it constitute a real platform? I guess so, but...

Maybe the platform is gaining more hardware options next Monday, eh?

 

[trojan675]

^^agree
It almost feels like they are only gonna relese v2 software (its unlikly, i know...)

They are releaseing iPhone 2.0 software!
Enterprise, App Store, most likely 3G with new base-apps(video, Im, zoom)

 

[Hattig]

Hello?

<whisper>Solid tip this, next week, the 4.20 at Newmarket, the 50:1 horse, "'aving a laugh".</whisper>

Back on topic, yeah, they're setting up the venue. They've used current iPhone images, nothing there. We know there are two OS X branches, nothing new there. Nothing at all, really.

 

[trojan675]

What is this mystery icon on the side wall banner? I've never seen it.

probably just an app thats gonna be released in the store day 1

FAKE!!! It is totally photoshopped. I know, because I am a graphic designer.

Obviously the rumors about .Mac are right. Something big about the new .Mac and it's integration of the iPhone and OS X is coming.

Look at the graphic on the wall. On the left, we have Leopard's purple color scheme. On the right of the computer, we have .Mac's blue color scheme. And surrounding both the Mac and the iPhone, we have applications. It all makes sense, think about it.

It also makes you think that the new service will have "OS X" somewhere in it, either officially or unofficially. Even if it doesn't, they will place OS X next to it, to reinforce the tight integration of the two other aspects of the relationship.


Apple has needed a serious competitor to Microsoft's Office paradigm. With iWork completely up to spec, all that's left for Apple to convince people are Outlook and Exchange alternatives.

Edit: Under the banner you can see "The world's most advanced ..." so obviously the new .Mac replacement will be the world's most advanced.

 

[Mr. Giver '94]

Cool.........But the iPhones on the banners are the current models. I don't see anything new about them.(no video camera on the front, no 3G symbol/icon in the top status bar, etc.) PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE Steve, release the new iPhone on Monday. I think we will start riots if you don't. Torches and pitchforks anyone??

 

[cdecrosta]

No Steve Jobs will actually give his keynote on that day.

Sweet thanks for telling me that i am excited

 

[abijnk]

Well, I'm giddy as a school girl...

Couple of FYIs that apparently can't be overstated:
1) Macrumors.com is an Apple news/rumor/follow Steve's every move/let those of us who can't be at WWDC know what's going on site. If you are going to complain about what the founder/owner puts on the front page, then please go start your own site because it doesn't make sense to come to an Apple site and complain about Apple related articles. Thank you if you made it this far.

2) The World Wide Developers Conference is for (wait for it....) developers!!!!! It is not a hardware forum. Thus, while we will more than likely be hearing about hardware related items, the main focus is development of software for all Apple platforms (which now includes the iPhone in case you missed it).

Omfg.. Idk.. Me Ans My Bff Rose Can't Wait For Monday.

I had to re-read that about four times before I understood.

 

[superman193]

Iphone 2.0? since when was this being released!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

 

[GradientMac]

What if it's the other way round??? Maybe that's a picture of the MacBook Air with the new tablet in front of it...

Just a thought...

You guys seem to have forgot the laws of perspective, things farther away look smaller. The iPhone is way at the front of the keyboard And the screen is a good 8 inches behind it.


WAIT! UPDATE!

That can't be a MacBook Air... look at the bezel under the screen compared to the side!

Huh.

Cool.........But the iPhones on the banners are the current models. I don't see anything new about them.(no video camera on the front, no 3G symbol/icon in the top status bar, etc.) PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE Steve, release the new iPhone on Monday.

This looks like the entrance, registration area.
I doubt they would trump SJ's keynote with pictures of the new products as you walk in.

 

[BongoBanger]

the "OS X iPhone" banner reads "The world's most advanced mobile platform."

LOLno.

Ya i noticed the blue on the MBA and on the poster on the right wall
could be .Mac
could be somehing new to Leopard
Could be a crappy designers mistake

Exactly, but WWDC has been a launch platform for some major hardware announcements including the G5 processor and the Power Mac G5. While we will hear about a 3G iPhone, I doubt it will be announced the same day.
