    In reality they should keep the 3GS around and sell it for buttons.

    I was thinking the same - not even any cryptically named events at the S.F. convention center. Seems kinda weird.

    They don't use the SF Convention center for announcements like this. They announce these at the Apple campus.

    They only use Moscone Convention Center for WWDC.



    Larger media events take place at the Yerba Buena Center theater. Smaller media events happen at the town hall space on campus.

    Nope, typical lead time for media invitations is one week. It's really the more respectful way to treat the media, letting them have ample lead time to clear their schedules and book travel.

    Meanwhile in Australia the 8GB 3GS has dropped to free on a $29 plan or $434 outright on prepaid.



    iPhone 4 pricing has remained the same.

    I agree. The iOS5 beta has become pretty stable. One bug I did find was that the dictionary does not work in iBooks. I tried to use the Dictionary option on a few words in a book and all I got was a blank balloon over the word. However, I am one version behind the latest release, so I should download the latest beta and see if it is fixed.
