Apple WWDC 2008

Well since the keynote is about 30 minutes away and no one else has started a thread yet....

What site(s) are you turning to for coverage? Any predictions other than the 3G iPhone?

If you’ve never seen one before, Ars Technica has their always amusing “Keynote Bingo” card posted.

I'm bouncing back & forth between Engadget and Ars Technica. Gizmodo timed-out on me too many times to keep trying.

These game demos are making me think we're going to see a sudden increase in dropped iPhones.

I like the fact that they tout Mobile Me as "Exchange for the rest of us" and then limit PC support to Outlook. The most recent Home & Student versions of Office don't include Outlook.

"Apple has learned so much with the first iPhone. They have taken everything they've learned and more and created the iPhone 3G. Even thinner, black plastic back, solid metal buttons, same gorgeous display, camera, flush headphone jack, and dramatically improved audio."

11:45 am Now on to the final challenge -- affordability. Started at $599 for an 8GB iPhone, now $399. The iPhone 3G 8GB will sell for... $199.

So AT&T is out of iPhones and the new one isn't hitting the shelves until July 11th? Sounds like someone effed' up the supply chain logistics.

i think they purposely did that so that the new iphone will come out just over a year since the release of the first one.
