Okay, know what? I give up.
I'll just play along now."One year later" must refer to the announcement of the iPhone 3G... so that means...
*gasp* Guys! A new iPhone!

Okay, I'm new at this.

But they don't!
Apple never puts hints in their banners; we just make up insane possibilites that are never right!
BAH, thats the fun of it.
Of course the odds of it happening are slim but I am sure that Apple has market researchers that look into what the public want, and that I am sure are members of this site. Whats the harm in putting out our ideas for them to listen to.
re 2: I had assumed that OS X.6 would come out a month before Win 7 to steal its thunder, but the month after as you suggest is more interesting. It will allow Apple to fine tune the marketing of their release to show where it covers Win 7's deficits. That, and it gives OS X.6 the psychological edge of being the newer (and therefore more advanced) of the two OSes, even if that is for all intents a distinction without a whole lot of difference.
re 3: a new SDK announcement would be a good way to introduce the mystery device without Apple totally showing their hand. And if the SDK comes out in a proper advance of the device itself, then the device will launch more dramatically with associated apps. Would the SDK then show if mystery device will run iPhone OS 3.0 or OS X.7 (perhaps with iPhone apps running in a widgetlike mode)?
I'm glad the banner isn't mysterious in any way. Last thing we need is another 20-page thread of people using geometry to calculate dimensions or over-analyzing taglines.
You are technically wrong. If Han Solo can make a Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, Apple can jump light years in a year.
Well the Theory of Relativity forbids that an object of mass can be accelerated to, or beyond, the speed of light, If that were to happen, our mass would be infinite which requires infinite energy and our size would become infinitely small, and time would stop. Which can't happen, so superluminal travel is nothing more than science fiction now.
Sure, this is obvious. However, I think Apple is comparing themselves now to one year ago. Taking this assumption, their position one year ago is not moving which means they cannot travel further than one one light year from that point in one Julian year. So I'm still right. If we take your assumption that they are comparing to the industry, then sure, you are right also. So we both win.
At this point we should kill this argument and talk about what to expect at WWDC or YouTube channels or something.
I was thinking along the same lines. It's a play on words "light" and "lite".
Perhaps this confirms the new 4g, 8g iphone "nano" addition to the 16g and 32g "regular" iphone.
One more thought which is highly unlikely but it would be a FABULOUS surprise..........Apple tablet or Apple netbook (light year and light weight ahead of competition).
it's fun to speculate.
All this speculation and I wonder - have any of them ever actually panned out? Has Apple ever used a cryptic tagline and turned out to be even close to what the speculation came up with?
Do you guys think that when the new iphone will be announce it will also be released worldwide or will it take more time to get released in other countries??
I live in europe thats why i am a bit scared....

Only the ones before the iPhone and MacBook Air launches.
Otherwise, we've been blowin' in the wind.
The best was the idea that the MacBook Air on the WWDC 2008 banner was disproportionate to the iPhone in front of it and that a netbook was inbound.
Oh, and then the resurgence of that with the "Spotlight turns to notebooks" image showing a computer they don't make.
I still refuse to believe they'll do a netbook. A tablet is more likely, but we'll see.
Last conference they had was about Macs..... This one is about the iPhone and Macs. Stop your complaining.
anyone know?
Most probably it will be Europe and the USA at the same time due to the fact its an upgrade. but if they start creating a iphone product line... who knows.
Apple doesn't have variety like they had in the good ol' days.
Before you could get a range of notebook sizes from 12"-17".
First, I meant marketshare-wise. They are getting more an more popular...
Second, Before they had 12, 14, 15 and 17 inch models for their notebooks right? Now they have: 13(12 and 14 merged), 15 and 17. Is that such a big differance? I don't think most people mind, plus it's more Eco-friendly!
Ams.
Yeah, iLife. REALLY important.
This conference is about the iPhone when it really needs to be about the Mac.
As in, Final Cut Studio 3 and Logic Studio 2 written for Snow Leopard, full run-down of Snow Leopard performance...
You know, important things. Things that matter to the future of Apple's computers.
Heck, Apple just needs to buy Adobe. Then CS5 wouldn't just be 64-bit, it'd be written for Snow Leopard...

High Five !
I can really see apple separating into to companies. It would be less work on steve to manage iphone/ipod stuff. And someone else hopefully not the Woz. god love him. to beef up the OS and mac side of things. that would be awesome me thinks
i really dont hope if its only gets released in the US, pls apple rls worldwide.
But is the date 17 july true?
There was once this notebook called the 12" powerbook.... A notebook to rule them all. I big gap in the corrent lineup.
This is a developers conference not a show for Apple fans.
The iPhone O/S and Snow Leopard are slowly becoming the same.
Many of the things we will see for the iPhone will also be implemented in some fashion into Snow Leopard.

The iPhone app store was created solely for Apple to be able to control the content that consumers can install on their iPhones. (And to um...skim a little off the top of developers' profits.)
From Apple's standpoint, there's really no need for a Mac app store, as Apple has expressed no interest in controlling the content for their computers as they do for their iPhones and iPods. Controlling content may benefit the consumer, but it would stand a good chance of driving developers off of the Mac platform.

There is no way I am waiting for 2 years for copy and paste for SL.... sorry could not resist
