Today, at 10:00AM(-8:00GMT), Steve Jobs will start his keynote and unveil new products. There is not that much more time to wait. Here in San Francisco, it is very sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and about 65ºF. Even before the keynote, we know he is going to mention something about the iPhone:

Same goes for many more countries, including Taiwan and Singapore.

I will post updates here as I hear about them.
-Snow Leopard confirmed, but it's getting shown after lunch sad.gif
-Super Monkey Ball available on AppStore for $9.99, it has 110 levels. We still haven't gotten to any new products yet.


-New App: eBay, view your auctions, bid on watched auctions, and see if you've been bid out.


-Cro-Mag Rally and Enigmo: these were my two favorite games when I was younger, and they look great!



-Band from Moo Cow Music: it looks exactly like the app for jailbroken iPhones:


-For AIM: Apple will maintain a persistent IP connection to the phone, where a 3rd party server can ping Apple's notification service to your device. It can push badges, sounds, and custom textual alerts (like how SMSs look).

-Steve sez "Isn't that fantastic? This is going to be great. In addition... we've got a few new features. The first one: contact search. Type in a few chars, instantly find who you're looking for. Second? Full iWork document support -- Pages, Numbers, and of course, Keynote. Great way to look at your iWork docs on the go. And we've completed MS Office support: Word, Excel, and now PowerPoint, too."

-If the App is less than 10MB, it can be downloaded over the cell network, otherwise it's WiFi.

-mobileme exists. "It's like Exchange for the rest of us." Change a contact? Gets pushed up to MobileMe, down to all other device. "The best part of this, it works over the air. Everything is up to date." Includes calender, mail, contacts, iDisk, photos. MobileMe replaces .Mac.

-"Today w'ere introducing the iPhone 3g." biggrin.gif"Improved audio, it's really, really great... and it feels even better in your hand, if you can believe it." "Flush headphone jack." "Solid metal buttons, the same gorgeous 3.5-inch display, camera" Less expensive. biggrin.gif "If we compare this to WiFi, we'll see 3G approaches WiFi speeds. We're also really proud that we're doing this with great battery life -- standby time is 300 hours." "Location services is going to be a really big deal on the iPhone -- you saw a bit of that here today, it's going to explode. We get location from celltowers, from WiFi, and now we get it from GPS." So that's A-GPS. "We can actually do tracking.""So great performance, great battery life. Now, one other thing that benefits from fast data is GPS -- we've built that into GPS." The crowd roars. "Browsing, 5-6 hours of high speed browsing. Video - 7 hours, audio - 24 hours."
-Black and white colors, 8gb for $199 and 16Gb for $299. July 11th.

nice I hope that the iPhone is going to get more new stuff than gps and a faster internet, but I think so.


J o e l
i cant wait for the iPhone to be sold in Singapore
Leoopardoo
I'm just curious how they are going to fulfill all the demand for iPhons. Based on rumors apple signed contract with almost every mobile operator all over the world. unsure.gif
J o e l
they did? took them quite a while to do that. i know it will be available here in Singapore during September

iPhone and iPod touch users may well be carrying around the ultimate game console in their hip pocket wink.gif

Personally, I'd like to see the possibility of newer features for the iPod touch and perhaps things such as Java and the ability to install an alternate mobile browser (e.g Opera Mini)


Then again, I have been largely impressed by what Jobs & co. unveils at the last couple of WWDCs...
mega
I hope flash comes soon, I need it for a few sites I have to visit
CLiDE FTW!!1
Also worth noting:




Then again, it might be a generic "store offline" page that is displayed for all countries... *fingers crossed*


Also, anyone know what the F "snow Leopard" is about?

If it wasn't for AT&T I would get one of these. 199.00 is an incredible price and you'll be seeing iPhones everywhere now. Good Job Steve and company smile.gif

Almost every single major criticism of the iPhone has been made irrelevant, great work Apple. I really want to know more about Snow Leopard though.

MobileMe actually looks pretty good tongue.gif With all the improvements to the iPhone 3G Apple could have EASILY have kept the price the same. Props to Apple for making it twice as good, twice as fast and costing half as much biggrin.gif
GingerTea
I will no doubt buy an iPhone 3G. I am entirely amazed. I know the potential because I have am an iPod Touch user.
Hara Taiki
I'm definitely sold now. {censored} my iPod touch, I'm gonna junk it as soon as I can and save the rest for the 8GB iPhone 3G in BLACK.
blackbird_n1

It was announced if you watch the keynote, just no preview. I guess there will be demos throughout this week.
J o e l
yes 11 july
urgonah8me
can anyone answer my queeeestionnn I really neeeeed to know

Does 3G mean I will be able to pay as I go instead of being tied to a monthly contract?
blackbird_n1
I love that company !!

SOOO AMAZING biggrin.gif

I'm going to get my light ticket too the US biggrin.gif


Hara Taiki
Nope. Still gotta sign a contract. 3G is just the term for the new network technology they implemented.
urgonah8me
But you can get pay as you go 3G network here in the UK sleep.gif omg.... contracts suck. I got my hopes up for nothing
GingerTea
3G iPhone Article updated, please feel free to read it if you would like to get to know all of the nice new features.
dpollard55
What the censored2.gif ? The whole friggin keynote was nothing but the iPhone!!! thumbsdown_anim.gif Very disappointing!
Skyper
I want this phone nowwwwwww
Maxintosh
I'd be willing to bet that the prices for the iPod Touch drop with-in the month too wink.gif
Skyper
3G Iphone is available on EbayUK ? - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mobile-Home-Phones_M...p3286.m63.l1177
Check this out..

P.S - will {censored} on the 11th of July..
GERGÖ
For 2nd phone the iPhone 3G will be ok. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif I will buy one.
macgirl
So now the next question, new iPod touch/prices?
CLiDE FTW!!1
I'd buy an 8 gigger for $200... I was going to buy a BB 9000, but the iPhone is much more appealing. I'll just sell my 8800 and my iPod Nano, and it'll cover the cost right there!
leftlane7
So is this phone available now in the Us? and then its other countries on the 11th? or....wth?

Don't 'cha just love it when you can sell the old stuff, and buy the new toys, and it doesn't cost you any more tongue.gif
GERGÖ
I'm curious about this $199 around the world. I hope it's not about 2year contract etc.
