Not that there was any question of who'd be delivering this year's WWDC keynote, but for those concerned it might not be Steve, Apple allayed all worries today by confirming His Jobsness is indeed dishing (and thankfully
not for three hours). Of course, with the
iPhone launch scheduled within the next couple of weeks after the show, we expect to be hearing a lot about that little number. As might be expected, attendees will get to see a "feature-complete" version of Leopard up on stage, but that won't be the same as the new beta they'll get to tinker with until October, when the
real deal hits the streets. Sounds like all those secrets about what 10.5 can really do will be revealed that day, so mark your calendars, it's all going down Monday, June 11th.

Ahh! You should have said, "...scheduled within a couple of weeks after the show." I got all excited for a split second thinking it was within the next couple of weeks from NOW.

maybe he will announce some kind of battery booster pack, so, you will get extra 20 minutes of talk time, increasing the 'actual' talk time from 1 hour 40 minutes to the FULL 2 hours. ;)
*yeah, i said 'actual'*

I'm hoping for a new iPod a SSD drive. I'm using my second iPod photo with hard drive problems. I'm done with conventional discs and won't upgrade to an new M3P player unless it has a 32GB or a 64GB SSD drive.
I wonder what iAudio and iRiver are up to. It seem like they have given up and handed the high capacity MP3-player market over to Apple.
Jesse S @ May 1st 2007 11:36PM
Well the thing is, you can take a 1.8" SSD and put it in an X5L or 60gig X5, no modification of firmware needed.
But, considering SSD's cost more than the players themselves, I doubt we'll be seeing them, any time soon, in anything.

1.8 harddrives cost a fortune too a while ago. There was even a time when a 40 or 60GB harddrive was priced at $400. More over Apple and Samsung are buddies and can get a decent deal of quantities of a thousand. Then there are also people like me who are ready to pay $300-450 for an iPod with an SSD drive, rather than buying an ipod G5 for $250 with a harddrive which will let you down after a year.
eh @ May 1st 2007 11:40PM
Jobs to give the keynote that reveals all the secrets of 10.5? News of the century.
Victor @ May 2nd 2007 1:02AM
So uh... do you know something that the rest of us don't? How do you know the iphone won't be released at the WWDC?
John Doe @ May 2nd 2007 1:20AM
Hmmm lets see. Could I give less of a shit about the iPhone...or as I like to call it at this point the iWad? *Shakes magic 8 ball* All signs point HELL NO. seriously. This thing is being over hyped. It ain't going to change the communication landscape. It ain't going to revolutionize how we work and play. It ain't going to bring about world harmony. At most its going to get oily, get scratches all over the fucking thing, and since this is a v1.0 of an Apple product that they have zero, zip, natta experience with; will also have a crap load of defective systems within months. (think I'm wrong? Lets look at Apple's history of new products shall we?) Finally you have the topping of all toppings. Apple squat over the iPhone and dropped Cingular as the carrier. Joy. why didn't they just go with QWest and get the #1 spot in carrier suckassity?
Seriously if I hear any more about the iPhone I'm going to go out, subscribe to Cingular, buy one, and go on a cross country bludgeoning trip. Taking out anyone I see with an iPhone with my iPhone of pain or as I would call it the iPain. *smack, smack, smack* CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!
In all seriousness. Please. End this. Its not a device touched my the hand of God.
PS- :-P Bring on the flamage

LordFarkward @ May 2nd 2007 4:58AM
erm... iphone
ok now go save up some cash. your cross country trip is gonna cost ya a lot
Jesse S @ May 2nd 2007 1:27AM
Why would they not just get something like an X5 60gig so they can just pop in a 1.8" SSD then? I have one, and I might actually do that, but SSD's are expensive as hell right now.
Hell, a 100gig 1.8" HDD is over $200!

"...we expect to be hearing a lot about that little number."
Is that an HD-DVD reference or have I just been reading too much digg?
Jesse S @ May 2nd 2007 1:48AM
Doesn't apple support blu ray over hd dvd?

Mmmmm. iPhone
Misuzu @ May 2nd 2007 6:07AM
I don't think anything new or special will come of 10.5 that we don't know about yet.
I think Apple just dropped the ball.

There are still 5 secret features left to reveal in leopard.
Aqua replacement?
NEW FINDER?
ZFS?
GPS mapping app?
Andyroo @ May 4th 2007 8:38AM
an iPhone needs to have a seriously good battery life for people to dump their current mobile and go out and get one of these!
I think people are sick of hearing about the iphone because they know its gonna be a massive hit!
