I cant wait - theres so much stuff they can show off here - new iPhone, OS4, Safari 5, new Macbook Airs, maybe some new software like iLife 10 or iWork.

Should be good:)

Yep really looking forward to it myself. Anyone think iphone 4.0 software will be released this evening ? Plus i hope they don't keep ireland waiting too long for the new iphone. Will vodafone be able to sell new iphone or do o2 have some exclusivity left ? Cause o2 always always make a complete mess up of any iphone release so far.

Popcorn. Tea. Duvet.

Bring it Jobs.

If last year is anything to go by, a golden master will be released for devs today followed by the public release a day or two before the new iPhone is released.

Also I think O2's exclusivity deal is expired, Vodafone should be selling them on the same day.

Dunno bout you but ill be watching live.twit.tv for their take on it - best place to get the most entertaining and the most info.

Dr Galen

the slate device mentioned in the OP looks like some sort of big trackpad-esque touch input controller yokey. Like a graphics tablet type affair, only multitouch enabled. COuld be interesting for anyone working in graphics or design. No doubt many people will "find" a use for it too.

Other than that, I think a lot of the cats are out of the bag, Iphone 4 and the new OS. Would be nice to see some other hardware changes/upgrades, but I'll be surprised if there is anything too groundbreaking. I have a feeling this is all gonna be Iphone related

From MacRumors:

9:37 am Some last minute rumors trickling in suggesting Apple TV, unannounced iPhone OS 4 features (printing?)... we'll find out soon enough.

iPhone 4G
iPhone HD
or just iPhone

banquo

Part of me suspects just 'iPhone' as well.

Won't be called iPhone 4G in my opinion. I know it's the fourth generation but it ain't a '4G' phone so naming it that might be a bit confusing.

banquo

iPhone 5, just to be confusing.

banquo

Apple Store is still up, so nothing being released immediately it looks like

Creamy Goodness

will be just iphone tbh.

lalee17

I think it'll be called iPhone, or iPhone 4. Why would it be 4G?

Has to be some way of differentiating from 1st gen.

Why? they did the same with iPod

banquo

1st Gen no longer exists. Then again, say the new iPhone is called 'iPhone', and the older 3GS is called 'iPhone 3GS' - the second one sounds like a better version of iPhone, and is confusing to consumers.

besty

IPhone 4?

ant043

iPhone HD is my guess.

banquo

How about iPhone 4 and iPhone 4 HD?

Actually, no. Jobs made a point years ago about having low and high spec, consumer and business models. Hence iMac and Mac Pro, MacBook and Macbook Pro. So we could see the iPhone models being catagorised like that too.

1st gen does exist, they just don't sell them anymore.

there's was nothing differentiating the first 3 ipod's until the iPod video came along.

they don't do it on any of the iMac/macbook/macbook pro/mac mini/mac pro ranges so it's not unheard of

banquo

It's on.

Basq

I reckon 'iPhone HD'

Creamy Goodness

i need an iPad.

Dr Galen

iPad first, as to be expected. 2 million sold, 1 every 3 seconds. pretty damn imppressive, flash or not

banquo

Was hoping they'd have updated sales numbers.

banquo

PDFs in iBooks! yussss

Creamy Goodness

iBooks now does pdfs, thank christ.

ant043

Loving PDFs in ibooks

Dr Galen

finished the ipad bit, now onto app store. I have a feeling there might be something big in this

banquo

NetFlix dude is up.

Creamy Goodness

even if i don't buy the new iphone after this, i'll still be putting in an order for a new keyboard my cmd+r will be ruined (and yes i'm well aware live blogs auto-refresh :pac:).

ant043

Come on Steve. Move on to the big stuff.

''10:17 am Discusses how a film can be stopped on any device and resumed on any device. ''

banquo

This reminds me of the september 2009 event when I spent the whole time waiting for something to happen.

Though I do heart my 64GB iPod Touch.

Stuxnet

yaaawn...so far

banquo

Srs yawnz.

Dr Galen

bloody Farmville!

Creamy Goodness

guys what were you expecting? Apple keynotes always go like this, they suddenly ain't going to go changing it up.

what's worrying though is we are nearly half way through and nothing great has been announced.

duffman85

Oh Dear God, Farmville.

Professey Chin

Ooooooooooooo farmville
*headbutts table*

PDF support on iBook is the most notable thing so far..

conor.hogan.2

The d stands for developer.

Developer - not consumer.

I swear to God. Get to the goods!
