I'll be watching a couple of the play-by-play web sites (MacWorld.com had a pretty good one last year, Engadget is supposed to have a good one) while I work. Then take a long break afterwards to peruse all of the new goodies on Apple's web sites, then review the same info again and again on all the tech sites. Then back to work until the SteveNote™ is available for viewing, probably that evening. :laugh2:

well.. Besides the iPhone what did they do. I already knew they introduced the iPhone I'm glad I didn't know about these forums until like June because those would have been the longest months ever waiting from January till august when I got my phone.

And I can't use my iPhone in school. Its crippled to an itouch because they have reception blockers and I dont get service in any class after 1st and 2nd period

My girlfriend has some sort of a conference over there on Wednesday, and I'm going with her. So yep, I'll be there. Apparently I'm also calling KNK when I get there.

I'll be at work, but have the macrumours streaming to the phone. Just like last year, nothing will be getting done in the afternoon. (I am east coast) I watched the entire thing via my treo 650, that was painful.

Im still debating whether or not to go....... I obviously wouldn't be shelling out the major cash to watch the keynote, I guess I just don't know if going will be any more enlightening than checking the highlights on the internet.... hmmmm. Am I crazy? Should I just go?

jjvaldez

01-13-2008, 12:12 AM

id like to go too, the time is getting closer, i think that i should get the ticket to the exhibit and sit outside and listen to the keynote, o they might be doing a play by play in the exhibit hall..

Can't be---the 2000+ post count still shows up. Still has the cool avatar, so we still know who he is. John, why aren't you going, if you had plans to attend?
