I'm a bit confused by this statement. You can buy albums or songs on the iPhone and listen to them as soon as they're done downloading or you can stream music from different sources. I use a platform called Subsonic to stream my entire library of music from my home server to my iPhone. The client (Z-Subsonic) also caches what you've played locally so you can listen to it even when you don't have a 3G or wifi connection.

Maybe he means free, illegal, downloading...

Now, please tell me why all these apps are apps distributed via the appstore and are not webapps? If the future is the cloud and webapps, why are most of the leading apps levering the cloud not webapps?

(Hint: It's about UI features and distribution/backup.

It's also about bandwidth. AT&T is moving to 2GB plans, and globally networks are being strained by large usage of iPhones.

Web apps, nope, not practical because you got to load it/ cache it all the time. Cloud stuff? Yes, useful, but bandwidth issues in the next few years will require real intelligent implementation of cloud features.

Steve isn't giving Gizmodo any more pageviews. He doesn't look backward very often. He's already focused on the next iPad, the next iPhone, the next whatever-it-is. He's just going to let the San Mateo County District Attorney's office do its thing.

Apparently, Gizmodo's Brian Lam was begging for help in liveblogging the keynote since Apple turned down their request for a press pass. I can just imagine the conversation in the office when Gizmodo's request was received by Apple. I wonder how many people it was forwarded to...

I'm sure it was posted on Apple's Intranet... "Guess what dear Apple employees, here's a day-brightener for you. Guess who requested a press pass for WWDC? ROFL..." This was followed by a memo from Steve titled "Thoughts on Gizmodo".

The build quality of Macs has definitely gone down. I know people will counter with "Oh, but customer satisfaction surveys show etc etc". However internationally (where a huge percentage of Apple sales come from) there are big issues with 3rd parties providing service and support where no official Apple Stores exist.

iPhone just needs an LED/Xenon/Whatever flash from my "practicality" point of view. But there will be a few "ahhhh" features to keep iPhone "competitive" in the eyes of global consumers. 50 million iPhone 4Gs sold by end of 2010 is quite possible?

After seeing what that other product with a larger screen has done for apps I was just musing. Seems like they're going for higher screen density anyway, which will make text look much nicer, if nothing else. I don't use the iPhone camera at all to be honest, but the implementation of it into apps (like barcode scanners, and those AR apps which were all the rage) is pretty cool.

You should have just used SHIFT mate.

I'd be interested in hearing what iPhone OS "can't do". So far, I've found almost nothing that it can't do. Granted, using Logmein to access my main computer to do 'desktop things' isn't quite as transparent as I'd like, but it works fine.

More importantly, iPhone OS is not designed to do 'everything'. It's designed to do 'the things most people want to do' better than anything else. If you want to play a featureitis game, it's probably not the phone for you.

It can't? Maybe you should learn what the iPhone can do before you criticize it. I do that on my phone all the time. Use Shazam to find out what a song is and then buy it.

Exactly. Apple appears to be the only one who understands that there are tradeoffs. If you try to design a device to do EVERYTHING, it's going to do nothing well.

4th Promotion: Post the video as a stream.
5th Promotion: Post the video as downloadable podcast.

This is all pretty inexpensive for Apple yet from tech sites, to major newspapers, to financial news, to national and local news shows are all reporting on this. They certainly know how to make the most of a marketing budget.

PS: Can you imagine if they sold this as exclusive live TV rights or offered it up to everyone like a State of the Union address? I have think that more a few stations would go for it.

Or, maybe, just maybe, it's Apple's way of rewarding developers and encouraging developers to attend WWDC - which has a value of its own.

Given the choice between Apple's PR expertise and some anonymous Internet poster, I'll go with Apple, thank you.

I don't think the attendees paid $1599 just to hear the keynote live. And I didn't realize that WWDC lasted just 2 hours.

Apple already released the "revolutionary" thing for this year. If you can't remember what that is, maybe you should look at what you call yourself here.

It's inane to think that every Apple/Jobs event yields something totally unexpected. Apple is evolving its platform, piece by piece. It may look disappointing to you simply because you have expectations that aren't grounded in the realities of building a successful platform.

And by the way, what mobile phone has an easy-to-use video phone capability that's already connected to millions of people?

What are those supposed "needs"?

I didn't realize that the iTunes Store wasn't in the cloud. Maybe it's on my desktop?

I also didn't realize that I couldn't listen to a downloaded song the minute it's done downloading to the iPhone. Maybe my iPhone is different than yours.

And how does "open" meet your needs? How does "open" make you "fairly impressed"? The iPhone has over 200000 apps - I'm not sure how many more needs aren't met by those apps, especially when the Google-fanboys tell me that only about 30K apps is all that is needed in the Store to meet EVERYONE's needs; yup, everyone in the whole wide world.

Anybody have a last minute rumor roundup?

 

Your = the possessive of you, as in, "Your name is Tom, right?" or "What is your name?"

 

You're = a contraction of YOU + ARE as in, "You are right" --> "You're right."

To compete with Blackberry and Google Mobile Me is probably going to be free. It may not happen though, could be pulled at the last minute if Apple feels the data centre can't handle it.

1) You are always so abrasive for no reason.

2) It's part of their marketing engine. If you attend you WWDC just to go to the keynote, but you aren't there to take courses or are working for a company in some capacity that is pretty lame. Plus, if you what you say is true then they would offer no video of the event, yet they do.

3) It is part of their marketing engine at work. There is no need to spend money if you don't have to and this filters throughout their business as a whole.

4) You're not going with Apple over "some anonymous Internet poster", you're going with your own opinion. Big difference. I'm the one going with Apple here, not you.

I can't do that on the iPHone before it's done from iDisk and Dropbox, to name a few. I can also do it with videos, as well.

I'm sure that the folks administering the conference had been told in advance what to do with a possible Gizmodo application. They didn't have to send it anywhere... but they may still have done so just for yucks.

This is a developer's conference. The hardware introductions are fun for the general public, but people mainly attend WWDC to learn and make business deals. If there were no product announcements, developers would still want and need a forum to meet.

My one big wish that probably won't ever be granted - at this WWDC or in the future - is the ability to remove the iPhone's "factory" apps (without jail breaking, of course).

This is a personal request, though, because I just don't need their crappy Weather app, Voice Memos, Stocks, or even YouTube for that matter. I'm sure there's a reason we're required to keep these, but what is it?

Actually, yes. The words I put in CAPS were meant to be "shouted" at the guy who wants some super, futuristic device that takes professional quality photos, read a books to him, and jerks him off... all for $199. Oh, and with free, unlimited tethering!

That is irritating. Did I use italics correctly?

Given that the average phone user does not buy an iPhone, how does your statement make sense? Maybe I don't understand what you mean.

Just with respect to people who buy smartphones, more than 4 people decide against the iPhone for every 1 who buys it.

If you are talking the "average phone user" in general, including everyone who buys mobile phones, the iPhone's market share is so small that it is included in the "other" category.

The average phone user does NOT buy an iPhone. The iPhone demographic strays far from the average. Recently, for example, information was reported that (not surprisingly) iPhone demographics are skewed towards older, better educated and wealthier customers.

Nope. The "average phone user" has NOT proven that "the whole user experience" is "all it takes". The opposite, maybe.

Here's an Idea ...

10 +/- years ago, can't remember exactly, but after Steve returned

Apple made available a Live Keynote Feed (in some fashion, don't know tech details)

The Local Mac User Group got that Feed, along with a Local Theater

Presto - instant Live Keynote with 200 other Folks, and Steve on stage (so to speak)

Was Insanely Great

.

Now ...

Is the Keynote Stream at least shown in the Retail Stores ?

.

Know this ...

Apple should do it, and in as many Public Spaces as possible

And if need or want, as mentioned above - charge admission, People will pay

Nothing like experiencing a SteveNote in a Theater surrounded by Other Folks

Is RDF to the max

Insanely Great

.

True, but since thin clients failed a new marketing term was bound to billow in. The silver lining is that now there are technologies that make it viable.

I'm loving Dropbox and expect that much cloud computing will work in a similar fashion; not replacing local storage but acting as a way to seamlessly connect your devices.

Apple's iTunes "cloud" surely won't be moving your iTunes library off your PC or keeping an actual copy of your library on the cloud, but a representative copy of your library that others transparently are connected to.
