WWDC 2008 Keynote Coverage Live

[Muzzway]

The demos are nice and all, but... last one please.

 

[iphone.luke]

Omg what if there's no new phone. I will cry. Their stock will plummet.

Yeh I sold my iPhone for the 3 G iPhone... Tired of the new blue razr i have -- its so simple, i miss my iphone

 

[emulator]

uhhhh... they are just going to continue like this, announce 3G, and it will be over...

indeed, very boring. don't think most of these apps deserve center stage.

What was the point of your post? Other than being a mindless rant?

I don't care therefore it should be what I want it to be about?

Hello pot, have you had a chance to meet the kettle?

 

[xenotaku]

anyone else find it odd that everything is being introduced and displayed on the old iPhone? Are they building up hype or is there no new phone? Only time will tell!

Dear Steve,

I know you're reading this.

Sack the person that designed the schedule for this keynote.

Yours,

FE

Again, I realize it's a dev conference but right now this event is headline news on every major news site in the world, and the 99% who aren't developers are waiting with baited breath. Can't those hairy-palmed devs just huddle up in a corner and look depressed for 20 minutes while we get the relevant news out of the way? This is like coming to a Rolling Stones concert only to find that the opening act is a small square of lawn, and we have to watch it grow for an hour or so before the Stones are on.

Maybe Steve held off on the new iPhone just to spite us.

 

[fluidedge]

this 'keynote' is the biggest shambles i've ever heard

 

[Watabou]

Well the audience seems to love the Band app.

 

[sassenach74]

keynote is ending at 11:00 and still nothing special?

Edit: i have those apps with music making, Band

It ends at 11.00? where is that info?

 

[billchase2]

i wonder how long until these $10 apps appear for free on secret installer sources...

 

[Clipse79]

Good thing about these devs on stage is they are on and off, its moving really fast....

 

[runxc24]

Hooray for MLB!

 

[Rivix]

Oh my god how many demos....?

 

[billchase2]

keynote is ending at 11:00 and still nothing special?

no it's not.

 

[diabolic]

AAPL stock is going down. Wonder if it has anything to do with this keynote.

It always goes down during keynotes and new major product launches. That's just how it works.

 

[pavelbure]

oh crap, mlb apps now. wtf is this ?

 

[ANTMUZ]

Did the Band app guy say it'll be on the AppStore at launch in a couple of weeks?

 

[wolfpackfan]

iPhone 2.0 is the software platform. There may or may not be a new hardware platform for iPhone (I don't think there will be).

Well the whole world is going to be disappointed if there isn't a new iPhone announced today. Every news source out there has been talking about it with a $199 price. If it doesn't happen there is going to be a lot of disappointed people.

as a developer I have to say this keynote is a complete waste of time: if they don't announce a new phone we won't have anyone to sell our apps to anyway!

 

[mattcube64]

I hate to be a complainer... I normally understand our hype will never be fulfilled... but this really is getting pretty boring. I was hoping for something more than the 3G iPhone... but I'm starting to get worried about it even showing up...

It's a two hour keynote:
