Engadget and Steve Jobs engaged ...
Relationship has already been consummated according to Engadget. Reportedly, the consummation required vigorous cleaning of keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Wedding TBA.
Now for the wishes which are unlikely to come true:
1. New widescreen ipods.
2. Macs shipping with free leopard upgrades when its available or Leopard available now.
3. The free ipod nano deal in the UK when you buy a mac.
4. Parallels shipping free with Leopard, or Leopard having a paralells style program not a boot Camp style one.
With regards to more realistic stuff, whatever happened to iLife 07!!!!
Riiiight. You know, we liveblog the hell out of every Gates (and Ballmer, and Xbox, and...) speech we can, too! Just wish they'd do more fun product launch events. Here's but a sprinkling:

3AM in Sydney, Tuesday morning.
Thanks, i didnt know if i could be bothered to wake up then though, i did wake up this year to hear the anoucment of the iphone
05:00 AM - East Coast Australia (12 June)
no, 3am.
see http://tinyurl.com/2o64yd [timeanddate.com] or put it into iCal for 10am on monday with the time zone set to San Francisco.
5am in NZ, though.
I think Mr. Jobs will announce a product similar to the i phone without phone capabilities running Leopard with multi touch screen 10 inch or 13.3 inch configurations to replace all umpc's. or at least im hoping.
-all this multi touch stuff is trek technology-
Also vista will be bundled with all new apple products.
Why would they do that, when they are starting to remove it from Dell products?
-smaller MacBook Pro
-revised iMacs
-official Mac Mini death announcement
-Leopard final release date
-also iPhone developer platform? ("One more thing...")
-i want a new ipod, so widescreen 120gb ipod.
-sub $2000 desktop with 512mb gpu to attract gamers (gaming on bootcamp).
-new laptop line (ultra portable or tablet).
-leopard integrated parallels.
its fun pressing reload every 20 seconds on apple announcement days
get yourself opera and set it to autoreload every 5 seconds...
There is a firefox extension...Reload Every
I've just hanged up my iPhone with Elgran Esteban Jobs (that's his real name and he is from Portugal). He asked me to pass on this as follows:
1. Leopard Demo heavy focus on a novel 3D interface+Spaces+for-dummies Widget development. Backup features will be presented too.
2. iPod refresher on capacity across the line - new 120GB replaces previous 80GB price-slot and 80GB is the new 30GB. 8 and 16 GB Nanos with Orange-color offering.
2. iWork update with novel Spreadsheet program.
3. Aiport Express Extreme with draft N support. Casing redesigned squared similar to current Airport Extreme design.
4. iMac will NOT be launched here people, that's for September au France. nuf of that already.
5. iPhone international available dates announce for September (that's why Esteban is launching 3Mill phones people!) with Vodafone International Partnership and Roger Wireless in Canada.
6. Demo of Third Party iPhone development tools by El Gran Esteban himself.
7. List of greedy labels who have turned un-greedy but bigbrothered Movie rental option added+more studios on the lineup of offerings.
8. 1080p resolution on the AppleTV + 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio update.
9. Flyover on Mac Pro updates and MacMinis. El Estevan asked me to pass on that the stupid comment on the Mini's demise is non-existent.
10. Improved push-email for the iPhone with Yahoo!.

By your tone, I assume that you're joking, but some of the items do seem believable.
But this is a WWDC, i.e. a "Developers Conference", and all of your items are aimed at consumers rather than developers.
Rather than those things, I'm thinking of iPhone SDK, newly revealed Leopard APIs, etc.
I think Apple will announce they're having a big re-branding and that from now on they will be called Satsuma and to be more eco friendly macs are now gonna come with a Lemon Orchard for free so they they can do away with AC Adapter and batteries and now just run from the current u can draw from a Lemon
Anyone taking bets?
Matt
You guys know that the fancy WWDC abbreviation actually means something?
Like... WorldWide Developers Conference. That developer slip ain't there for nothin'.
All I want to say is that I just don't make the connection between developers and new iPods. But hey, that's just me.
I agree with you, stuff like iMacs, iPods and the Mac Mini are consumer products, not something I can imagine most devs care about. Pretty sure you guys are not gonna be getting new iPods on monday!
I agree: no iPods here.
- Free Leopard with Macs makes sense.
- 3rd party development for iPhone makes sense.
- MacBook Lite is possible, but highly unlikely.
New Macs are more likely to occur in September. Last Sept. we saw a refresh of the entire iPod line, and the same might occur for Macs. It's also right before Leopard and the expected official release of Boot Camp.
no ipod you say...devs only...Oh yeah, they did go ahead and introduce that iPhone thingy last year at WWDC! stupid me, and they DIDN'T let any devs from 3rd-parties touch did they? oh silly me, i must have forgotten all that.
(/sarcasm)
If you look into the past, WWDC's Stevenotes have had product releases. It's not only for developers, friend. The WWDC doesn't stop when Steve Jobs' keynote is over... it's a week-long event. All the developer stuff starts right after the Stevenote.
Intro of the iPhone was at Macworld, not WWDC.
No offence Engadget, but after a year of you bashing on Apple, do really expect every Mac guys to come to Engadget for updates on WWDC?
I myself will stay away from my computer that day and go watch the KEYNOTE VIDEO on Apple.com the following day when the crowds have receded.
Wow. Most of the time, all I get to read are comments saying how Engadget is Apple's bitch, and all that we ever get to read is obsequious Apple-affection here, but I guess you went and turned the tide.
Take your pick, guys. Unless Engadget's a leopard (get it? Leopard!) that keeps changing its spots, it's either pro-Apple, or anti-Apple.
Personally, I think they do a bang-up job of reporting on stuff, and their coverage of events is brilliant.
Sometimes, though, yeah, the articles can sound a wee bit biased, but that's not confined purely to Apple, and I don't think any one particular company draws that quality out. I think it's just a glitch in the reporter's "system".
:-)
Keep it up, guys! And thanks for the great coverage!
Bash Apple?
Let me set the record straight here, because even though we've been doing what we do for years, there always seems to be a few people who complain that either a) constantly bash or b) are totally obsessed with Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc.
I can tell you from having read literally hundreds of thousands of comments and personally dealing with thousands of people, those who tend to think this way are often just projecting their own biases. If you think we (and every other tech blog) hate Microsoft, I'd be willing to bet you have some irrational love for that company. If you think we want to see Apple dismantled, same goes. Neither is true, we love both and almost all brands we cover -- that's what keeps us going. But we will always be critical.
Finally, I don't know why YOU should come to Engadget if you don't even want live coverage of the event. But for those that do, pretty much everyone knows we set the benchmark for live tech event coverage, period. Thanks for playing.
I'm not playing. Anyway, just cause you say something doesn't make it so.
I dont think ur problem is with Engadget son, u have to realise that mac get alot of posts on here because there are so many romours. All these guys do is there jobs. Also dont forget that Apple pritty much cover every gadget in the mainstream. If Microsoft made more MMP Players, Made PC's Made Monitors, Made Laptops, Made Phones, ect, im sure they would have just as many romours and posts. Apple are setting the bench mark at the moment, everyone is trying to be apple.

Anyone who buys a Mac this weekend instead of waiting until after WWDC, is a real noob...
maybe i want a macbook? a just updated macbook.
I don't know...you NEVER know with Steve J....
STEVE I LOVE / HATE YOU! there i got it out of my system
"5:00PM - GMT --- 6:00PM - London"
Why aren't they both set to 6pm?
How the hell did this post get a high ranking?? It's called British Summer Time and it sets our clocks to one hour ahead of GMT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time
But I guess if you want to have fun hyperventilating about all the consumer products you think you will see magically revealed at a DEVLOPER's conference for an hour prior to it starting...your perogative.
Its to do with daylight saving hours, or as we Brits call it British Summer Time.
(the irony of that moniker is not lost on me, I tell you)
GMT is the basis for all time calculations around the world, and not everyone participates in daylight saving, so whilst GMT is 5pm, London (and, indeed the rest of the UK) are observing British Summer Time (BST), which is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Because London is on Summer time and GMT does not reflect this...GMT has no Summer or Winter time...
i will guarantee that the world "revolutionary" will follow every product that he introduces, which makes me smile...
marketing to the masses :-)
2:00 PM - Buenos Aires

And this is an Engadget user who doesn't have experience in past Apple releases. Leopard has been delayed for quite a while now and any new computer products to be announced on Monday have one of two release options. A) They're released shortly after the announcment or B) There release at the same time as Leopard. My guess has to be choice B and here's why:
Sales in Apple computers has declined in recent months in anticipation for the Leopard release. Why would a customer want to buy a new Macbook today when he can wait until October to get one with Leopard? This would be a dumb move and most Apple customers aren't that dumb.
However, there is evidence to suggest that today's buyers will, in fact, get a free copy of Leopard once it's released. Why would Apple release the upgraded MBPs only a week and a half ahead of the WWDC when they could have announced it then? My guess is that they're trying to move into the Santa Rosa market as ahead of the game as possible. Even so, PC users already know they're getting Vista on their new purchases while Apple users know Leopard is 4 months away. So what's the advantage of announcing the new MBPs now when most of them won't be sold until then? These points may be contradictory but they support my arguement that what you say isn't necessarily true and that you should get your story straight before you make an assertion.
Everyone say nothing is going to come out that way great stuff is announced.
Because we seem to jinx stuff whenever we guess what some CEO comes out and says.
How long have we been guessing a widescreen iPod like over a year?
so lets all put our hopes down and pretend to be surprised if something comes out of WWDC.
Steve Jobs' pet leopard's getting hungry. I think it wants Apples.
Why don't they allow TV coverage for these things?
so the people paying the hundreds of dollars to attend the event will still come.
They probably do, but TV stations don't think it's important enough / want to do it.
Because developers pay thousands of dollars to attend WWDC and the keynote, and if any schmo could watch it live for free there'd be no incentive for paying that fee.
@Chris & @Gene: Why do people still attend televised sporting events? Good seats are much more expensive and the televised coverage is much better. I think that Andrew had a good point and in the future live coverage might be offered.
I can understand maintaining the exclusivity of the event, but I'm sure CNBC (who does live text/photo updates online like engadget) would gladly broadcast the keynote.
again, no love for Arizona
GMT -7, 10:00 AM
Hey, I'm in AZ too!!
Lisbon = 6 PM. We have the British Summer Time too.
I guess that we will see new iMacs because a new computer would be perfect for new products, and I think that this year's WWDC will not be dedicated entirely to Developers and it will have focus for consumer products.
My bet is on new iMacs, iLife and iWork 07, full preview of Leopard (Vista is out, what can they copy?), new MacBook Pro with 12" (PowerBook 12" returns), SDK for iPhone and last but not least, a redesigned Mac Mini because it's a stupid movement to kill the Mini.
Let's see what will happen, because only Steve knows (God doesn't know too, in this matters He's like us!)
My guess is new iMacs, SDK for iPhone, new iWork.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a multitouch keyboard which let you use adapted interfaces, or a tabletMac which is kind of a UMPC that only uses multitouch en E-inkdisplay and can be used to control other Macs countering Microsofts "Sideshow", but heh a guy can dream right?
12" MBP, Wide Screen iPod, free Leopard u/g. I've promised myself that I'll switch to mac with Leopard. I had hoped that I'd be typing this on a new mac by now. C'mon Steve! Hurry up!
Come Monday, Jobs will anounce something even more shocking than all your hopes and dreams combined...The merger of Microsoft and Apple. O.o no no, please dont shoot me!!! It was a joke!!! oh yea, and the new injectable iPod, now you have no need for earbuds, it plays in your head.
what UK channel does this come on
1.00AM Singapore Time +8GMT :)
I hope the new iPod 6G Widescreen with WiFi access and BT comes out.
Been waiting for it long enough already.
It is and it's callled the iPhone LOL
V has the funniest comment on here! I'm still laughing, although I will set my alarm.
Good one V!
Hey can I use this event as an excuse to get the day off work? That would be awsome.
2:30 In Newfoundland...
Why does Engadget allways forget Alaska :( Seriously
Apple has acquired Blacktree and integrated Quicksilver into Leopard, I'm calling it right now.
20:00, Lithuania, GMT+3 (DST)
OMG APPLES!
I WANT AN APPLES PHONE!
STEVEN?
"That wasn't the iPhone! We tricked you all! The real iPhone is loaded with 3G/HSDPA, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, a 7 MP camera with Carl Zeiss/Vario Tessar lens, a secondary video call camera, free GPS and satellite images, a realistic wide/touchscreen display like a virtual helmet, TWO BUTTONS and a removable battery for half the price of the fake! But you're not allowed to have one."
Hah.
24 hours from now!!!! Heh!
I'm guessing theres gonna be a new iLife and iWork 2007 and maybe even the announcement of Office 2008 for Mac OS X, but i'm really hoping for a widescreen iPod, or something like that. (Jobs did say that they are developing a new iPod, and that its awesome, so dreams may come true?)
I'm hoping for a new iLife. perhaps one that does AVCHD? I know there are lots of people wanting/needing an editing suite to edit their AVCHD videos. If Apple introduced this now, I'm betting there would be lots of switchers in October, or whenever Leopard comes out.
12 noon --> Colombia
If you ask about a wish list, here is what I personally want from apple:
- Sub notebook (like the 12" powerbook g4 that I want to replace but a lot thinner and light)
- New Ipod with Iphone like screen and interface
- Leopard with a paralels like feature
- Don't discontinue the 17" Imac
*crosses fingers* Come on new iMacs!!!
Everyone writing something here, is a total douchebag. And yes, that includes me. Flame on suckas!
Apple nas never announced an iPod at a developer conf. And you guys are morons if you think he's going to announce it next to the iPhone. The primary focus of his keynote is going to be iPhone\dev tools for it and Leopard. He may or may not intro a new super slim Macbook but that is something like 50\50 chance.
Personally I want one thing to come out of Jobs mouth. XEN integration into leopard. It would be a bombshell of an announcement. Moving further into the realm of fantasy would be the announcement of a new finder that...well doesn't suck hard on my right ass cheek which is what the current finder does. Its a peice of shit pure and simple. That and the way OS X handles network mounts. Just a joke.
So yah. Fuck the iMac. It may need an update but frankly the OS needs more TLC then the iMac does. And again iPods? Fuck em too. I need to replace mine since I'm running out of space but again priorities. OS first. Everything else can take a back burner to it.
Imac... clock.... running low. must get air.
Do you need all the cursing to get your point across or that is your top of mind when speaking properly?
Bill Gates guessed it at D: a transporter, that's it.
why does it matter so much that Steve Jobs is gonna make an announcement? Is it just because its "Apple" that its so special?
Just checking, is it 10 am PST or PDT?
As WWDC has nearly as many education customers attend as developers, I don't think something huge for education is far-fetched. Maybe a new "eMac" of sorts, or some other big offering for those customers?
I'm watching for the following:
- multi-touch displays (ms just announced Surface)
- update MacPro (faster specs)
- update iMac (complete revision)
- update or removal of mac mini
- ultra portable computer (could come in a similar form to iPod)
- developer kits for iPhone
- iPod updates or complete revisions
If a new iMac comes out we're gonna buy it within a day.
8PM Qatar Time (Middle East)
Aside from Leopard, all I'm really hoping for is NEW DISPLAYS. Not that the current ones are bad at all, but I've been lusting for one for years and the current Rev is nearly 3 years old (I think). I'm about to buy one of them finally, but I won't do it until a new Rev comes out. So hopefully that will be tomorrow.
what about a combo of the two wish list ideas that people had earlier...... multi-touch display for a new imac. kinda like the hp all in one computer.... just saying it's possible...
Whats up with the new Engadget commenting engine? It appears that you can not response to anyone who responds to a post.
I swear because I'm in a foul mood, OK? No great secret. That and some of the comments on this blog entry border on the ridiculous. It's really starting to get old.
STEVE I LOVE YOU!!!
Last year, we were hearing about Xcode 3.0, ZFS and Time Machine. I actually doubt we're going to get product-release information tomorrow, since that's not the purpose of the conference. They're still giving out Developer Betas of Leopard, though. Any announcements are going to be more on the software side- something along the lines of Apple's work with Google, maybe, or with advancements made in communications and integration. They might even talk about youtubee (ie content for that Apple TV of yours). I think they're going to leave the iTunes Music Store alone, as well as apple TV. There's no content, no HD, and not enough bandwidth for the majority of Apple's users to get it even if they did.
With that as a segue, something that might be (remotely) possible is an announcement from AT&T about it's roll out of U-Verse services, and the possibility of using the Apple TV as a tuner (aside from the Xbox360). I mention this because the time frame for a large number of localities to be available for UVerse has shifted (in my area, for example, there's no U-Verse service, but a large amount of U-Verse hardware involved).
Those are my two cents. Tomorrow will be about software and services, potentially using products that are already in place.
I personally cannot wait too see new leopard features. And as in the past WWDC, refreshing engadget like a mofo.
I vote for an official apple tablet
in case you miss Jitaroo post
8:00PM Saudi Arabia Time - KSA
see you all in mac4arab chat room YousufOmar will be their
my wishes from apple that the stock hit 150$
Isn't Core Animation just the codename for Multi-Touch interface for the Mac?
New iMacs with multi-touch in actober??
how soon can i watch the video of the keynote? id rather watch it before ive read all the news over engdadget than after...
Is Apple that company that makes the iPods? Those things are so cool I think my cousin's friend's mom owns one...
P.S. Does anyone have Allison Stokke's email address?
There's a going to be some surprises today? Why?
Well, Apple seem to have released new MacBook and MacBook Pros only a few weeks before WWDC. They usually wouldn't unless they have something fairly important to announce and they don't want to take away from this surprise by trivial things like updated chips. Talking to someone at the Apple store, he mentioned straight out that the will announce a new ipod device (I took his comment with a grain of thought). But why wouldn't Apple wait until WWDC to announce the new updated laptops? Because they have something much more important to discuss... stay tuned I guess
i guess its gonna be a wide screen ipod with a led screen.....because they offer better battery life than lcd screens
Damn it I'll have to stay up for a 1am keynote start. O'course can't please everyone suppose. Google OS integration Would be AMAZING.
