I guess some people here are super literal.
I wonder if those people have ever read poetry...

it will pass. but they need to milk that cow dry so they can make better macs n sh*t
I dont understand why some people can't see the huge appeal and future of the iPhone platform. desktop computers are stagnating. Of course for some uses, Video editing comes to mind, workstations are still the best choice. But for the same reason mac laptop sales far outpace the desktop sales the iPhone is headed that way. You guys need to prepare for most of the future inovation in the Mac landscape to be hinged around the iPhone or mobile OSX platform.
This is all my opinion, but I just get frustrated at all the iPhone hate. If you don't care about the iPhone don't bother clicking on threads that deal with the iPhone, and when a general thread like this one evolves to a discussion on the iPhone feel free to hit the back button and check out a new thread.
That's not the point and iPhone hate is not what's happening in this thread.
iPhone is a complement to the mobility lifestyle, not a replacement of laptop or desktop. I understand how important the iPhone platform is to Apple and to us iPhone users but iPhone didn't make Apple nor is it the ONLY development platform for the Macs.
People don't code on iPhone, they code on the desktop/laptops, and they use XCode which is only on the Mac. This is WWDC, Developer conference and such there should be information about the actual Mac development platform, Macintosh OS. There wasn't any information released about the state of SL at the Macworld, nor was there any Preview event that was given for SL exclusively like the iPhone OS 3.0 event.
That's why people have valid complaints about WWDC. iPhone OS had it own event, it is time to show some love to the big brother, Mac OS X. iPhone wouldn't be where its at without Apple, and Apple wouldn't be where its at without the Machintosh OS.
iPhone will eventually come to the point that it'll just become one product that Apple sells, not the most important and news grabbing product for Apple. Eventually, it'll just become.."eh, another minor update to iPhone." Look at the App store, it is going to hit that saturation point where people are going to start to become bored and less interested in the apps. It will happen, that's just human nature. It would no longer become new or fresh or just awesome. Just a phone with some apps.
Laptops are portable, not mobile - you really need to sit down to use them. If I'm walking down the street or in a line or in the car I can use my phone to do useful stuff. Sure, laptops have more potential power in terms of cycles and memory and so on, but that's only useful if you can set them up.
I don't see anything outlandish about the idea of plugging a phone into a monitor, which gives you desktop capabilities when you need them and true mobility when you're on the move. That way you avoid synchronization issues (other than backup which would be done in the cloud). Sure, this wouldn't work for certain tasks, but it surely would for the majority of e-mail/word/excel users.
This annoys me. Is this all what Apple is about these days? Their 2 year old phone? It that all they advertise?
I want the old Apple back where all the news was about the Mac. Screw the iPhone at WWDC.
YEAH!!!
The good old days of an also-ran company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy was SO much more fun!
Enough of this nonsense about pretty much owning the platform that will be dominant for the next 10 years.
Such idiots!
Wow... everyone frothing on this thread must have been reloading up the old bong a couple of years back when the name of the company changed from "Apple Computer" to "Apple", huh?
As a stockholder I'm SO glad that y'all aren't running things.
People have to get out of this "january" mindset.
Ain't gonna be no more 'january' rollouts... its why Apple bailed on MacWorld, remember? January is the worst possible time to announce anything... anticipation of it cannibalizes Christmas sales.
But you are ignoring time dilation.
Steve J. and his development team climb into their iStarship and accelerate away at .99c.
Steve sets an alarm on his iPhone for one year later, and after one year has passed, Steve pushes the stop button - and he is 7 light years away from Earth.
One year later, light years ahead. QED.
[Note 1: This explains where Steve has been.]
[Note 2: Steve is traveling at .99c; the most common price for apps is 99 cents: coincidence? I think not.]
[Note 3: Seven years will have passed for us on earth, of course. You can't have everything.]

They talk about everything in one keynote on the first day, then the rest of the week is for classes.
oh true, so June 8th is the big day that i need to pay attention to
and the rest of the wekk 9th-12th is juss for the people
who paid to go to the WWDC and they have their classes and everything
is that right?
This has already been debunked. Take that picture down before it makes anyone else freak out.

Too late - I got a bit giddy.
I agree with you all! I don't give a flying flump about iPhone. What's the point, I can't even got one, I'm with T-Mobile!!!!!!!!!!!
the green light can only mean one thing....
alians.
HAHA pretty sure it can only mean...
video calling! (hopefully with skype/msn/googletalk etc compatibility
)Iphone 3.0
I can NOT forsee Apple releasing 3.0 without a new phone. They are def going to want to get people to buy a new phone before a free upgrade.
I assume they are going to show off their SL stuff... Some on stage benchmarks. But focus directly on IPHONE and all the new hardware affiliated apps etc.
I would bet my jewels that the software will not be released before the new IPHONE.
Its a business, not a charity...

I've been watching the keynotes online for years. And I'm now living in the East Bay area. Is there any reason for me to swing by the Mascone Center?
I'm not a developer and have no ticket. Anyone think I'd get to see anything worth a quick trip and couple bucks train fare?
