WWDC 2008 Keynote Coverage Live

[Anuba]

This has gotta be one of the worst keynotes they've done in recent years.

I've followed them since 2001 and this is hands down THE worst.
Every time you think this guy is done with his monotonous droning and he gets a short applause of relief, he goes on!

Maybe Steve is drunk out of his mind and these guys are trying to stall while they're hosing coffee down Steve's throat backstage.

The stock is going down fast.

day traders are dumping shares because they're worried the iphone wont be announced and the price will really tank. if its announced it will recover quickly.

 

[SchneiderMan]

damn i have to go to work now

 

[extraextra]

yeh i'd quite like my doctor to actually treat me with knowledge rather than look it up on an iPhone

"Err.. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with you, let me look it up on my iPhone here."

 

[ipodtouchy333]

runxc24.. I'm in Omaha, hopefully I will be going to Village Point later today to pick up my new 3g iPhone but I have a feeling Apple will disappoint me......

 

[Diode]

Would anyone else be worried if they saw their doctor using the iphone medical app?

 

[Sekots]

Steve come back and wake us up.

 

[Rivix]

Ahhhhhh! I hate the sound the claps make.....

 

[rhyx]

Ahhhhhh! I hate the sound the claps make.....

deafening when the person forgets to turn the volume down

Would anyone else be worried if they saw their doctor using the iphone medical app?

I wouldn't be worried if the doctor told me what was wrong and then used the iPhone to demonstrate it/provide a visual or something, but if he's looking up my issues on the phone, then yes I'd be worried. I can use WebMD for free at home, thanks. (although, everything seems to lead to cancer?!)

 

[tha80sbrat]

There are three parts to the keynote...so just be patient guys.

 

[SchneiderMan]

i have inteliscreen app ahaha

 

[Jblack4083]

Apps can run in the background! I hope so...

They found a way around it?

 

[Tclare]

We Want Steve! We Want Steve!

I miss him

 

[fluidedge]

This Blows. I have also been watching since 2001. This one is worst by far.

and amazingly sucks too.

 

[ppc_michael]

It's funny because from the beginning thing we've been saying is how they should have made iPhone open and now that Apple has decided to do it it's like they're trying to convince us that it was a good decision.

The irony of having vista on the iPhone

Spend more time in a medical environment... all hospitals are teaching. Both of these apps are ones doctors have been looking for since the iPhone came out. Its an excellent teaching tool. Plus looking at CT or other images is awesome on the go. Im sure many more apps than those 2 are coming.

I think he will do the oh and thing

Would anyone else be worried if they saw their doctor using the iphone medical app?

Working in a hospital for 6 years, I would not be worried at all. Most of the doc's used PDA's religiously in lieu of a PDR, or any other Reference book. Remember the days when the doc would diagnose you then leave for a few minutes then come back with a prescription? What do you think they were doing? They were referencing their books for the proper med's. Now they can search their PDA's. In this case the iPhone.

Now if the doctor was looking at your arm and said, "Looks like you fractured your ....ummmm.....what is that thing called.....hmmmmmm........hang on....(looks at his iPhone)......Oh yes, Ulna". Then I would be worried.
