![]() There's also a new Safari that launches today, as well as a new version of Quicktime. Snow Leopard is designed to install faster, plus it's smaller than Leopard, giving back 6GB of space on your hard drive. It will have integrated Exchange support, plus a nifty new way of integrating Expose into the OS dock. He's talking up new advantages to the upcoming OS. Price will start at $1699-although that only gets you a 2.53 GHz processor and 4GB of RAM.ġ0:22-Bertrard Serlet, head of Mac OS is now onstage showing off Snow Leopard. Plus 3.06 GHz processor, up to 8GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive and, believe it or not, a built-in SD card slot. MacBook Pro with built-in battery (boo!), that gives 7 hours of battery life (yayy!). A massive runup is shown from 2007 to 2008.ġ0:10-Although he's skipped right into an announcement. He's showing the number of active users of OS X. As expected, I'm seeing a bunch of charts. (Not specifically "iPhones"? Are other devices allowed?) That means that things should get going here in a minute or two.ġ0:00-Phil Schiller has taken the stage. It has the potential to turn what is already a hit product into a monster hit, much like the iPod mini and nano turned the iPod into a ubiquitous object.ĩ:56-They're telling us to turn off cell phones. What I'm thinking may be one of the most significant announcements, if they make it today, would be a $99 iPhone. ![]() Don't be too surprised if the first few minutes is a lot of hullabaloo about how many apps have been sold, how many countries now have the iPhone (although by the number of languages I'm hearing today, that's a valid assertion), and what a lead they have on the competition-that's pretty standard fare for Apple conferences. You can go to iTunes right now and buy it, then put it on whatever iPhone they launch today.ĩ:54-Still waiting for Phil Schiller to take the stage. ![]() You heard it here first: The song "1901" by Phoenix is officially sanctioned by Apple as cool.

And there will probably also be a pretty thorough run through of Snow Leopard, the next-gen Mac operating system (or, at least there better be, since there is a big banner to that effect posted downstairs). A tablet is much less likely, but not completely off the table. ![]() If you've read our run-up to this year's event, you know that it's pretty much guaranteed that there will be new iPhones announced today. Seems to be a pretty big crowd this year, despite the recession. I'm in the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and, like all the other press, I'm gathered in the large keynote antechamber. Will there be a touchscreen tablet? What will the new iPhone have in store? Will Steve Jobs show up? We'll be answering all these questions and more as senior technology editor, Glenn Derene live-blogs Phil Schiller's keynote speech that opens Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.ĩ:25-Welcome to our live coverage of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2009. ![]()
