I thougt exactly ther same thing and maby Jobs will even share some of his media content on his iPone (a Keynote presentation??) with the audience, as described in those recent patent applications... (https://www.macrumors.com/2009/06/0...el-sharing-digital-media-during-iphone-calls/)
Steve Steve Jobs? Chilling by a pool somewhere?
I don't think that is what he does.
Those black turtlenecks and jeans get a tad sticky in the heat never mind being hell to swim in.
Why would you Microsoft to die? If your company is doing ok, isn't that enough? Apple will never be able to kill Microsoft. The best chance they had to do that was during the Vista period. Windows 7 is coming. Project Natal looks amazing. Apple has its own objectives and schedule. Apple is, above all, seeking to make money. They don't care thta much about share market as long as they make money. They don't need to destroy Microsoft as long as they make money.
Maybe this is the new iPhone he announces (not sure if it's legit or not, but one helluva sweet looking device): http://www.bestiphonehelp.com/_Media/iphone-pro-2.png
Exactly. That is the most credible prediction I've read about the iPhone V3 release thus far. This is a very likely possibility and one that would ooze and intensify profound gadget-lust. Everyone should keep a sharp eye for this.
Like I said a week ago in another post here, 100 bucks Jobs will be the "One more thing" and hopefully announce iPhone for Verizon for 2010.
I would like to take you up on that offer.
I'd take that bet, too. No iPhone on Verizon until 4G/LTE -- at least.
iPhone? Updated notebooks (maybe not since I don't see major changes in the lines)? (Mini-)tablet? Pro Apps? Interesting.

SJ was on his HS swim team.
Yeeees. But that is not quite the same thing as him lounging by the pool side with a lei around his neck, a Mai Tai in his free hand while chatting to Phil Schiller on the *gasp* new iPhone.
Is it?
Which is kind of what FJ218700 was picturing in his post (#18).

What disease makes you unable to absorb protein? I know celiac makes you unable to handle a very specific protein called gluten, but I'm not sure about protein in general. Anyhow, glad to hear he's better, he's probably got a kick of energy after being cleared to tear down the jackling house.
With a new iphone (allegedly) set to be unveiled on Monday, what sort of public event could Apple orchestrate at the end of June? WWDC from June 8-12 followed by a SJ return public event just two weeks later?
Maybe they'll hold off on the iPhone updates until EOM when Jobs returns and he will handle that 'media event' and instead focus in WWDC on Snow Leopard and iPhone OS 3.0, among other hardware changes... Hmmm. Wouldn't THAT frustrate all those (like me) who are awaiting the iPhone refresh news?
How would you like to walk all the way through a giant garden just to get to your pool? It would be terrible!
Upgrading phones w/ AT&T
If you had an original iPhone, AT&T was fine to let you upgrade, since the original iPhone likely wasn't subsidized, or at least not as much as the current iPhone is. However, if you had upgraded your plan within the previous 18-24 months with AT&T, they have been extremely stingy about allowing you to upgrade, unless you want to pay the full cost of the phone...and that is only if they even offer an unsubsidized version of the iPhone.
Last year, my wife added two lines to our plan and got different phones for her and myself. I was waiting for the 2nd generation iPhone to come out and figured that I would upgrade then. WRONG! AT&T figured that they already had my money, and didn't care that I had a wad of cash in my pocket to give to them to get an iPhone (including the additional data plan). So either way, more money in AT&T's pocket.
In cases like this, it makes me hope that the iPhone is opened up to more providers (such as Sprint or T-Mobile), so I can just tell AT&T were to stick their plan...
But then again, I think all phone companies are evil.

No, thanks. I'm not a fan of AT&T, but if the iPhone was only on Verizon, I would never even bother. Verizon likely has the most incompetent customer service I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. I got rid of a home phone line so I don't have to deal with Verizon any longer.
I know what it is....

Exactly as I expected, there will be no macbook updates at this event. However, they will come either during the summer or shortly after.

That could be the case. What do you expect to see updated in the Mac line? New iMacs?
