WWDC 2011 Pre-Keynote Roundup and Coverage Details

[zacman]

I guess feature 10 will be live tiles then...

 

[daneoni]

So they ended up copying Android which is kinda anti-climactic. I hope this is just a stop-gap. As it stands webOS still remains the champ at notification UI.

How long is the keynote supposed to last? They haven't even talked about iCloud yet and there's only 7 minutes left.

They often last well over an hour.

 

[Cougarcat]

Any chance Apple introduce the new Macbook Airs or Iphone 4GS?

None, they said they are focusing on software.

Any chance Apple introduce the new Macbook Airs or Iphone 4GS?

Yes, comeback tomorrow at 10AM for the second round of the Keynote.

 

[AaronEdwards]

No reboots for the upgrade. What, is Lion not upgrading kernel space at all ? So it's just a user-space process upgrades ?

KSplice has been offering that for Linux since 2008.

 

[G4DP]

It's OK if you're Apple. God forbid anyone else do it though.

Just thought he same, it's okay for Apple to rip others off but not for other to rip off Apple.

As for Lion, what a flop, king of the cats my arse. 250 new features, I wonder if they include every single menu change like the did with Tiger and Leopard.

Are they contractually bound to only give an hour long Keynote?

 

[adztaylor]

Instapaper copy right there haha.

 

[Moyank24]

Did anybody notice the new iPod icon?

I saw that as well.

It's really time to add tabs to Safari...

Edit: And they have. Finally TABS!

I am going to want a demo of all those other features they listed but of course were not worth the time showing.

If I can not get it on DVD at all anywhere, it is a no go.

 

[Cougarcat]

Tabbed browsing, yes!

Personally, I disagree: I've used WebOS and Android and much prefer the Android method of notifications

Hows tab browsing going to work on a tiny iPhone

Apple perfects, others rip off. A hard pill to swallow for some, but it's the way things are. When stuff makes it to iOS, it works like it should have worked all along. This is Apple.

 

[grmatt]

yay. tabs.

(sounds sarcastic, but it's not... promise.)

I use tabs all the time on my phone with Atomic.

That has always been the Apple Inc. way…

I think you know the answer to that is: Of course they did…

 

[LoganT]

I'm going to assume the tabbed browsing isn't only for the iPad...

 

[Andy-V]

I'm glad they didn't shy away from doing notifications the android way because it's the best way to do them. No point in just not doing something because someone else has already.

I'll wait to see if you can burn the files onto DVD before I give it a complete miss.

The main new feature is a revamped e-mail client, the rest of the 'new' features seems to be copied from Microsoft 20 years ago.

So no hard reboot? That seems a little odd.
