Are you following the WWDC?

I don't have any apple products. I think iPods are overprized and suck cuz they dont play my ogg files.... But I LOVE Apple's conferences like this one.

I'm following it from macrumors.
And you?

I tend to refresh the engadget page every 20 minutes. I find it sickening how people suck up to their every word though.

Steve jobs just got an applause for the new firmware features, like searching your contacts by typing in the first few letters.

Erm, excuse me, my first Nokia had that.

Yet they get treated like gods for adding features to their products which really should've been there in the first place and not even need mentioning.

Plus all these rumours about a 3g iPhone. 3g is nothing new, and this 3g iPhone isn't going to bring the apocolypse of phones as we know it (as some Apple fanbois are claiming) - its just going to make their downloads a bit quicker.

I've had 3g on my phones since 2006. Its really nothing to be boasting about when it should've been in the first iPhone.

I find any presentations by Apple to be quite amusing. ESPECIALLY they mac keynotes. I think I actually might have laughed out loud at some of the stuff the Apple fanboys give an applause to.

I am not following the WWDC

I am sure that Steve Jobs will be announcing some awesome new feature that everyone else has had for the last 5 years!!!:)

Personally I think that Apple is evil

Unfortunately thre will allways be plenty of fanboys to fill Steve Job's pockets.

I have to eat some of my words here... despite all the new features pretty much being things that have been common for years (oMG*pInK*PONIES*black plastic casing WTF!?), $199 is a very good price.

And most of the competition is plagued by Windows Mobile's awfulness. I have an HTC TyTN II which slows to a crawl once I've opened a few apps (although it does have 3G :o), and the new HTCs like the HTC Diamond just try to cover up the awful interface with patchy and resource-hogging overlays.

So I am actually now officially tempted by an iPhone. It does run a unix-derived kernel after all. That must say something!


In the world of consumerism you have to fill someone's pockets, and I would rather it was Jobs' than Gate's. Yes one can argue that Ubuntu is an example of the evil big corporations being squashed by the spirit of community, but what about all the profits that was made from you buying that nice shiny hardware to run it on?
