Discuss the MacWorld Keynote as it is happening...

[chris]

Many of you are either at the keynote or watching live blogging from the event. Let's make this the official thread to discuss the keynote in stride.

[mad_vtak]

so far nothing is happening.


People are being seated. The room can seat up to 4000 people.Links

Anyone going to watch it on Apple.com? Nothing is up there yet....must be running late.

[RyanFavre]

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/01/keynote-top-line.jpg

take your seats.

[RyanFavre]

Anyone going to watch it on Apple.com? Nothing is up there yet....must be running late.


i guess that watch the keynote on apple.com is fool's gold. there's no live stream this year. i think they are referring to being able to watch it later in the afternoon.

[patrickj]

Cool idea. Here's a site that gives you a simultaneous view of 4 big sites' live coverage (although it's a bit irritating scrolling 'em):
http://9to5mac.com/livepanel.html

[mad_vtak]

what the one in the corner right. It doesn't want to load for me.

[GQmacguy]

i guess that watch the keynote on apple.com is fool's gold. there's no live stream this year. i think they are referring to being able to watch it later in the afternoon.

Yeah, I agree. It actually says on the site "available in the afternoon"

[patrickj]

what the one in the corner right. It doesn't want to load for me.

It's Gizmodo

[GQmacguy]

As I'm reading Gizmodo's feed... I just thought "I hope they don't shut off the screen on the Keynote" HA!
:tounge:

... they are too much of fanboys to do that.

[chris]

MacRumors (http://www.macrumorslive.com/) seems to be doing the best right now.

[RyanFavre]

15 minutes late, with that kind of commitment this steve jobs character isn't going very far in life.

[patrickj]

Macrumors site updating better / faster than Engadget so far ...

[mernst]

www.macrumorslive.com

[dbarrett5381]

I agree Macrumors FTW!

[GQmacguy]

MacRumors (http://www.macrumorslive.com/) seems to be doing the best right now.

Yeah, them and SlashGear http://live.slashgear.com/

I can't believe that Engadget actually went down a few times... I'm sure their load is the largest.

[GQmacguy]

The "Time Capsule" thing seems sweet. I guess that is why they didn't really allow wireless backups. Always an angle ;)

** and the price is awesome for an NAS!!!

[RyanFavre]

iphone time!

[Jhors2]

YES GUYS!! What we've all been waiting for!

[chris]

Time Capsule $299 -- yawn.

[patrickj]

Wow - 4 million sold already!

[RyanFavre]

4 million sold.

[GQmacguy]

Time Capsule $299 -- yawn.

Yeah but that isn't a bad price for 500Gb... or Tb

[chris]

True, plus airport.

[RyanFavre]

http://s3.media.macrumorslive.com/p/f1200417807.jpg

[GQmacguy]

How will the "webclip" functionality work on the iPhone I wonder?? that is interesting.

[gotpancakes]

coming from Jobs mouth... they want to give us something new today.... NEW SOFTWARE!!

Maps with location, Webclips, Customize home screen, SMS multiple people

[dbarrett5381]

here we go, new software!

[ballsonface12]

new software today 9:24

[Jhors2]

YES!!! Map Location, SMS Group, Customize homescreen and webclips

[petalmom]

SMS multiples for you folks that want it!

[patrickj]

'New software' - like those words ...

[Jhors2]

LYRICS!! they are fixing the ipod feature as well

[gotpancakes]

How will the "webclip" functionality work on the iPhone I wonder?? that is interesting.
i belive it will be for bookmarking puposes to be put on the homepage

[caboose]

Lyrics
Maps with location, Webclips, Customize home screen, SMS multiple people

[RyanFavre]

we've seen it already but...

http://cf.media.macrumorslive.com/p/f1200417963.jpg

[volcomguysd]

Time Capsule $299 -- yawn.


Yawn? In the last month, i've bought both an Airport Extreme and a 1TB WD hard drive (plugged into the back of the Airport) because that was the only solution. This would have been perfect! Dang!

[caboose]

Is this stuff gonna be available today do you guys think?

[GQmacguy]

i belive it will be for bookmarking puposes to be put on the homepage

Gotcha... that makes sense. I was hoping Dashboard style webclips :2cool:

[Jhors2]

Thats what jobs said, he wants new software until the SDK comes out for people TODAY so i sure hope so. I cant believe Gear Live had it right all this time in all honesty..

[patrickj]

Is this stuff gonna be available today do you guys think?

With the update I guess - he said today I think ...

[GQmacguy]

Man, it's pretty much EXACTLY like the "leaked" update that one site had...

[caboose]

http://cf.media.macrumorslive.com/p/f1200418084.jpg

[Jhors2]

Thats awesome, its a little more specific in the fact that it remembers EXACTLY where you were on the webpage when you add the bookmark

[caboose]

i just checked if there was an update on itunes and nothin

[GQmacguy]

Man Engadget is getting SLAMMED!

[gotpancakes]

only 9 bookmarks on the homepage??..ahhh=/ kinda a downer...... but some is more that none... im still happy

[patrickj]

Thats awesome, its a little more specific in the fact that it remembers EXACTLY where you were on the webpage when you add the bookmark

That does look slick, remembers pan / zoom level etc.

[GQmacguy]

i just checked if there was an update on itunes and nothin

I'm sure it will show up sometime after the Keynote when the store comes back up...

[luvmyiphone25]

and im excited they moved the wifi itunes button to the left

[caboose]

what are "chapter options?"

[GQmacguy]

*note to self: backup iPhone today to prepare for restore and new update*

[chris]

iPhone software update available TODAY.:2cool:

[gotpancakes]

OHHH PISSS AND GIGGLES@!!! THE UPDATE IS FOR TODAY!!>.... ima try it now!!!!

[Spikefood]

only 9 bookmarks on the homepage??..ahhh=/ kinda a downer...... but some is more that none... im still happy

Up to 9 Pages.

[Jhors2]

You can move icons wherever now, officially stated to be released today. With the wifi pictures and then the cell tower pictures in curious to see if the Psuedo GPS uses a combination of the wifi and cell towers both?

[chris]

Wow, iPod Touch getting Mail.

[GailLA]

Iphone update today! Very nice -- ty Stevo!

[GQmacguy]

$20 upgrade for the Touch? Ouch.

[caboose]

9:35 am$20 upgrade for existing users9:35 amMaps9:34 amMail, Stocks, Notes, and Weather9:34 amFor iPod Touch: 5 new apps
haha WOW that sucks

[chris]

For $20...I'm sure that'll get people in a tizzy.

[gotpancakes]

denied.... ill have to wait

[The Apple]

$20 charge......boooooo

[musicmanmu]

As with updates before, I'm not switching until someone can jailbreak it and give me my third party apps!

[Jhors2]

Movie Rentals, People were dead on with predictions.

[RyanFavre]

kind of a downer, i was hoping there would be something cool announced for the iphone today that hadn't been previously leaked.

[The Apple]

$20 for touch.......I take back my boo..

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

No g**damned copy & paste?!

Jesus!

[GQmacguy]

I'm kinda intrigued about the rentals... but I love my Redbox ;)_

[patrickj]

$20 upgrade for the Touch? Ouch.

I thought that too ...

[GQmacguy]

No g**damned copy & paste?!

Jesus!

HAHAH NO DOUBT!!!!:laugh2:

[musicmanmu]

So who out there with jailbroken iphones are going to update today? Are these updates really worth losing all the awesome third party apps?

[patrickj]

No g**damned copy & paste?!

Jesus!

That does suck ...

[patrickj]

I was hoping we'd see early SDK release and maybe some 'sanctioned' 3rd party apps - guess not, unless he comes back to iPhone later ...

[chris]

But if you buy an iPod Touch, it comes with the apps. I sense there will be a few iPod Touch returns in the coming days.

[ballsonface12]

So gearlive wasn't lying? I thought for sure that it was fake.

[meiphones_brill]

So - no firmware upgrade to enable the right-hand speaker then?

[chris]

He's almost finished with 3 outta 4. I guess the MacBook Air is next. Still, I'm wondering if that leaves time for the "one more thing"...

[Jhors2]

So gearlive wasn't lying? I thought for sure that it was fake.
you and me both. That was pretty amazing actually. I wonder how they got ahold of that update. For now I just want them to release it so I can update my iPhone!!!! Im curious to see if there are any bug fixes that come with it too as a side note.

[GQmacguy]

But if you buy an iPod Touch, it comes with the apps. I sense there will be a few iPod Touch returns in the coming days.

I know! I'm talking with a couple guys in iChat that just got one and they already are restoring it and putting it back in the packaging! :tounge:

[vegasflyby]

So who out there with jailbroken iphones are going to update today? Are these updates really worth losing all the awesome third party apps?

Nope.....not worth it to me.

[The Apple]

So - no firmware upgrade to enable the right-hand speaker then?
Thats funny!!

[GQmacguy]

Too bad they didn't combine the new AppleTv stuff and the TimeCapsule! I would be SOLD!

[gerstyd]

Too bad they didn't combine the new AppleTv stuff and the TimeCapsule! I would be SOLD!

Why am I at work? I am worthless today. All I am going to be doing is going to EIC and Engadget, and pressing check for update on itunes all day.

[Spikefood]

The people saying others will return their touchs and buy a new one, there would be no point you pay 10% of the items cost for restocking.

[musicmanmu]

Why am I at work? I am worthless today. All I am going to be doing is going to EIC and Engadget, and pressing check for update on itunes all day.

Ha ha...right on! I'm probably going to be about the same way. :laugh2:

[patrickj]

But if you buy an iPod Touch, it comes with the apps. I sense there will be a few iPod Touch returns in the coming days.

Yeah that $20 for existing users sounds like another 'price cut' type slip-up that's gonna generate a lot of outrage ...

[gerstyd]

Engadget crashed. Damn it. Isnt mac man there? he should be blogging damn it.

[alienstout]

Ha ha...right on! I'm probably going to be about the same way. :laugh2:

Go to macrumors.com they have a live update thing working so it automatically updates without refreshes, much better than a slow Engadget.

[dolo]

i was really hoping for "OTA" synching between iphone & mac/pc. grrr....

a2dp would be nice as well...

[ebrunn]

The people saying others will return their touchs and buy a new one, there would be no point you pay 10% of the items cost for restocking.

True that.

[chris]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.

[ebrunn]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.

here we go again :rolleyes:

[Hawk]

So - no firmware upgrade to enable the right-hand speaker then?
What right hand speaker?? On the iPhone, it's a MIC!

[GQmacguy]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.

I kind of agree. I'm sure the web bloggosphere will be ranting about this later... Might have re-enactment of the iPhone thing... but it's only $20...

[chris]

here we go again :rolleyes:

Might be time to switch EIC back to strictly iPhone. At least for a few days...:laugh2:

[Spikefood]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.

Possible, but then when you think about it, you can get an 16g itouch now and its only missing SMS, and a phone.

$20 for all those apps is a good price.

[Spin This!]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.

Who says it's ever going to be available in a retail iPod Touch? I can see the extra apps only available inside iTunes.

[petalmom]

What right hand speaker?? On the iPhone, it's a MIC!


I think it was meant to be a joke :)

[iStealth]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.
I agree! Not really fair steve...

[mittenman]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.


Kind of like my $500 4gig iphone????:smile:

[iStealth]

Might be time to switch EIC back to strictly iPhone. At least for a few days...:laugh2:
No, don't do it:wink:

[xmarkzdasp0t]

hopefully there is surprise iPhone stuff announced later...we can only hope

[Spikefood]

I just want that Iphone update! :@

[xmarkzdasp0t]

I just want that Iphone update! :@

me too lol i wonder if what the small updates [bug fixes..etc] are too.

[ebrunn]

Might be time to switch EIC back to strictly iPhone. At least for a few days...:laugh2:

As long as the ranting stays in the iPod touch section I dont care.

[iStealth]

me too lol i wonder if what the small updates [bug fixes..etc] are too.
ditto but for the touch.

[toyotaisme]

All these great update but no MMS :frown:

[Hawk]

Well, on a whole, I am dissappointed. Mad Props to Gearlive for having good info early on. Now i just have to sit back and wait for the Dev team to hack this mother up, before I upgrade.
I have a feeling that after the SDK is released, we are going to see a brand new ballgame with the iphone. I predict either really crappy software at a high price, or actual worth-while software for an arm and a leg.

[GQmacguy]

On Gizmodo feed: "The screen is blank (because of flickr). WE SWEAR IT’S NOT US."

HAHAH!

[ebrunn]

Thats big that the update for the iTV is free

[The Apple]

Does anyone have the iTV?

[chris]

HD Movie rentals would be nice...especially they do a Netflix type plan down the road.

[ebrunn]

Is Steve still on #3? Or was the iTv upgrade #4?

[patrickj]

The $20 seems to be a penalty to early adopters.

Exactly. Did they learn nothing from the price cut fiasco???

[ebrunn]

Macbook Air

[Spin This!]

It's positioning. If they offered all those features to iPod Touch owners, I'm sure a lot of people would have bought the Touch instead of the iPhone and iPhone owners might have felt a slight slap-in-the-face.

[gotpancakes]

"and there was something about in the air...."
we will now release isky,,, the newest revolutionary music divice.
u will now be able to think and the music plays =)
yea........not

[The Apple]

4th thing.........something in the air

[toyotaisme]

well see what that is

[KTORRES1120]

nO a2Dp support? I just wanna listen to my music wirelessly dammit!

[GQmacguy]

macbook air... everyone was right on the name so far... now lets see about multitouch.

[Spin This!]

multi-touch won't happen in that form factor. it would need to be a tablet that sits in your lap.

[PhilipJohn]

Well so far I'm a little disappointed. This is my first keynote to get hyped about and nothing surprsing yet, but maybe at the end. Last year would be hard to beat.

[Jhors2]

It Fits Inside An Envelope?!

[GQmacguy]

UGH! i thought that picture was the MB Air and i was disgusted! but was the sony... HA!

[toyotaisme]

i have a Sony Sony TZ series and it small enough for me. I'm afraid that if i drop it its toast.

[ebrunn]

*jaw drops*

[Jhors2]

Multi-Touch spot on, just on the trackpad not the actual screen itself, thats intuitive

[patrickj]

It Fits Inside An Envelope?!

Yeah, that sounds crazy

[toyotaisme]

wow that is small touch screen. nice

[chris]

That envelope move is why he's the master on the big stage.

[GQmacguy]

Yeah, that sounds crazy

Is he going to pull this out of the back of his pants instead of his pocket like usual?

[Jhors2]

Dude, the pick of that thing looks like 15 pieces of paper stacked ontop of one another....

[Spin This!]

so multi touch on the trackpad... i wonder if jobs' "one last thing" will be some kind of multitouch trackpad/keyboard?

[GQmacguy]

so multi touch on the trackpad... i wonder if jobs' "one last thing" will be some kind of multitouch trackpad/keyboard?

Yeah I really hope so!

[ebrunn]

Price=Arm and a Leg

[Jhors2]

battery life??? 6 seconds???

[stevetim]

Finally! MacBook Air!
Note book as thin and even thinner than our iPhones! Been waiting for this. Now...prices?

[chris]

So much for a MacBook Pro release today. They couldn't lug out that huge thing...after this.:laugh2: (I'm joking of course...)

Hmmmm.....MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air.

[Spin This!]

I'm guess $1699

[Spin This!]

So much for a MacBook Pro release today. They couldn't lug out that huge thing...after this.:laugh2: (I'm joking of course...)

Hmmmm.....MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air.

i'd expect a quiet refresh of the mini/macbook pro and imacs in the store...

[stevetim]

The MacBook Air doesn't look like it is aluminum casing like speculated though?

[toyotaisme]

i think higher $2495

[The Apple]

$2999.00 My guess

[RyanFavre]

$1999 is my guess.

[gotpancakes]

ever notice hes always in his jeans and black top lol

[Too Many Secrets]

I'm there if it's $999.99

[Jhors2]

ahhh no optical drive, that makes more sense now

[ebrunn]

$1999 is my guess.

x2...........

[GQmacguy]

the idea of sharing the optical drive is a sweet idea! i like that... starting to want one...

[patrickj]

That envelope move is why he's the master on the big stage.

So true - put that photo next to the Bill Gates in Grandpa sweater with the Guitar Hero guitar ...

[Too Many Secrets]

$1799.....

[Hawk]

I'm guess $1699
you were the closest without out going over! 1799

[gotpancakes]

ouch $1799

[toyotaisme]

$1799 not bad i payee $2495 for my sony.

[stevetim]

$1799 woo bring it

[RyanFavre]

its 1799, not bad.

[Spin This!]

price is right rules... bam!

[GQmacguy]

$1799 isn't that bad for what it is... wish it was cheaper though.
Looks like it will be a work purchase not a personal one.

[toyotaisme]

wow ready in 2wks

[zandrik]

This site is pretty quick at updating the keynote.

http://www.macrumorslive.com/

[stevetim]

If it's white case like MacBook, I don't like.
But if it's Al like MacBook Pro, I'm an early adopter and will look forward to the $200 price drop in 3 months!

NM just said it IS aluminum.

[Spin This!]

fully ai case ;)

[Swagger]

I'll be happy with the update we get, when available. I will not complain here, but quietly to myself, I am cursing Apple for no CUT & PASTE!!! Mark

[GQmacguy]

I'm looking at it again... it is VERY reminiscent of the old Clamshell iBook design (curves etc)... except friggin TINY!!!

[toyotaisme]

just got the update on itunes:laugh2:

[Spin This!]

am cursing Apple for no CUT & PASTE!!! Mark
i think apple is still trying to do implement that in a very "apple" way.

[idancenreno]

Will the new software be sent out automatically? Or do I need to use itunes?

[ebrunn]

Environmental highlights: fully aluminum case (good for recycling), first fully mercury and lead free display, circuit boards are BFR free, retail packaging are 56% less volume than MacBook.

Take that Greenpeace

[GQmacguy]

is that it?? awwwww... com'on no "one more thing" ?!?!

[patrickj]

Will the new software be sent out automatically? Or do I need to use itunes?

You get the update via iTunes

[budjev]

So Toyotaisme how is the update?

[dolo]

no update here yet - just checked for both itunes 7.6 & 1.1.3...

[ebrunn]

just got the update on itunes:laugh2:

lies......

[toyotaisme]

just kidding:angry:

[brinox]

just got the update on itunes:laugh2:

details! what version numbers!?!?!

EDIT:: err, i knew you were lying!

[RyanFavre]

falls flat compared to last year. not a single surprise really.

[Spikefood]

just kidding:angry:

Oh look its Mr. funny

[budjev]

lol dang man....

Maybe when the apple store is back up the update will be in itunes as well

[GQmacguy]

lol dang man....

Maybe when the apple store is back up the update will be in itunes as well

That is what I am thinking...

[budjev]

welp the apple store is back up who has itunes open??

[Youngbinks]

AHHH! I overslept. I didn't really see a mention of the SDK unless I completely overlooked it, anyone?

[brinox]

DOWNLOAD ITUNES 7.6 APPLE.COM:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

[Hawk]

Nothing new Binks. Just wait for Feb.
In the meantime, Gearlive was dead on with the update.

[RyanFavre]

AHHH! I overslept. I didn't really see a mention of the SDK unless I completely overlooked it, anyone?


you missed nothing iphone related unless you didn't see what gearlive leaked.

[GQmacguy]

Is Randy Newman off his rocker or what? LOL!!!!

[idancenreno]

You get the update via iTunes

Thanks, still need picture texting (mms)...:frown:

[patrickj]

AHHH! I overslept. I didn't really see a mention of the SDK unless I completely overlooked it, anyone?

Only mentioned in passing by Steve, to say everyone is looking forward to it - no early release or hints ...

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I'll be happy with the update we get, when available. I will not complain here, but quietly to myself, I am cursing Apple for no CUT & PASTE!!! Mark

Agreed on the copy & paste!

[The Apple]

yeah nothing new.....other than a notebook computer that weighs 3 pounds and fits easily into an envelope.

[toyotaisme]

Thanks, still need picture texting (mms)...:frown:


i thought for sure this update would have it :frown:

[Youngbinks]

Dang, well Kudos to the guys over at Gearlive, even though I was hoping for a bit more in the Keynote. At least February isn't that far away.

[chris]

MacBook Air guided tour (http://www.apple.com/macbookair/guidedtour) is up on Apple.com.

[geordisjd]

Not a single surprise this year. Everything was accurately leaked or predicted.
No iPhone II:(.

[RyanFavre]

it is pretty unreal that the iphone was released six months ago and there's still no mms or copy paste. those are the first two thing they should have taken care of imo.

[The Apple]

MacBook Air guided tour (http://www.apple.com/macbookair/guidedtour) is up on Apple.com.
I'm gonna go check it out.

[stevetim]

Hurry and sing Newman!

Anyways, I already get 4+ hours out of my 2.16ghz MacBook. So to upgrade to a thinner footprint and sacrifice "some" processor speed at 1.6 or 1.8 is kinda not like an upgrade at all. It seems more of a tradeoff of size versus performance.

[GQmacguy]

Gizmodo is CRACKING me UP! "Aaaand it’s over. Holy crap. Who knew Randy Newman, the guy who makes the songs your kids play over and over and over again, would sing such crazy crap about our government?"

LOL he is a little senile I think...

Well guys it's been fun!

Cheers

[dolo]

not gonna lie. a little underwhelmed over the whole thing. we can collectively rant and rant, but here are a couple of disappointments of mine.
- was hoping to see a macbook refresh (thinner, bigger specs - with the introduction of the "air" to create two lines - air and macbook pro (13 & 15")
- wireless synching between iphone & itunes (via bluetooth, including the release of a2dp)

Call me selfish, but this was what i was hoping for.

[RyanFavre]

guided tour of the iphone update as well

http://www.apple.com/iphone/gettingstarted/guidedtourupdate2/large.html

[gotpancakes]

but u gatta conisder how hard mms would be to mix it in the text set up.. its just hard to develope they def. recognize the need but we might have to wait a bit longer to set up

[Spin This!]

mms is old... why use that when you get full e-mail?

[Hawk]

mms is old... why use that when you get full e-mail?
Because some people don't get email on their phones.

[RyanFavre]

mms is old... why use that when you get full e-mail?

because its still used by the majority of cellphones. no reason you can't have both.

[stevetim]

MacBook Air...OMFG. $3098 for the 64GB SSD! EEK! So much for SSD in my household.

[Eragon]

MacBook Air...OMFG. $3098 for the 64GB SSD! EEK! So much for SSD in my household.

So, when Steve says something is pricey...:gasp:

[Spin This!]

- was hoping to see a macbook refresh
if you were expecting that you were asking too much. macbook line just got updated. i was surprised no silent refresh of the imac/mini/macbook pro line though which is usually typical.

and i'm surprised there was no "one more thing"...

[Eragon]

Nothing about 16Gb upgrade, 3G wireless or A2DP.

[dolo]

how many of you were hoping steve would pop back on stage after the last performance and say "oh...and one last thing..."

i know i sure was!

[toyotaisme]

itunes 7.6 is avalable at the apple site downloding it now.

[idancenreno]

mms is old... why use that when you get full e-mail?

my parents use email, my friends text!

ps. Strippernation votes for picture/vid texting in next update. (at least that is opinion of the 4 of us waiting for a CUSTOMER!!!)

-sent from my iphone

[firewire]

I am surprised that no one has come up with a way to implement copy/paste in the iphone. I wonder how long we'll have to wait to get that one. All in all it was pretty much what I expected, since I and most others saw the gearlive video.

[Spin This!]

this still gives apple time for the iphone sdk... i'm sure there will be another iphone/touch update next month for that.

[stevetim]

The iPhone video indeed shows version 1.1.3.

So we'll see as many thought it should be 1.2.0.

[stevetim]

1.1.3 now!

just checked it is here!

[Spikefood]

Itunes is taking so long to install. What the hell. =/

[RyanFavre]

Itunes is taking so long to install. What the hell. =/


yeah same here, i was watching the macbook air tour at the same time as the install and it closed my browser. forgot it was installing quicktime as well.

[budjev]

Well more than likely b/c everyone and there brother that knew MacWorld was happening today is trying to update there iPhone now... :D

[Swagger]

The update is out!!! You might need to disconnect and reconnect your iPhone if you've had it plugged to the computer all day. iTunes need to be freshly connected to iPhone for it to show, New Version of software available... Mark

[Hawk]

So who has taken the plunge?
Anyone here give up their jailbroken phone for the new update?

[patrickj]

So who has taken the plunge?
Anyone here give up their jailbroken phone for the new update?

There's an official thread for it (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-software/official-iphone-software-update-1-1-3-discussion-20859.html). Several already updating. I'm tempted but not quite willing to give up 3rd party apps - hoping for quick jailbreak ...

[budjev]

Just wondering do you have to DL iTunes 7.6 for the new 1.1.3? or can you get with 7.5?

[Youngbinks]

There's an official thread for it (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-software/official-iphone-software-update-1-1-3-discussion-20859.html). Several already updating. I'm tempted but not quite willing to give up 3rd party apps - hoping for quick jailbreak ...

I'm in the same boat, waiting for those hacking minds to Jailbreak it first.

[patrickj]

I'm in the same boat, waiting for those hacking minds to Jailbreak it first.

Yeah, some of the new stuff is very nice, but not show-stopping. I was really hoping they'd do the SDK release early and show us some real / available new iPhone apps - then it would've been a really tough call on updating ...

I'm sure they're waiting for WWDC for that... after the developers create a bunch of applications, Apple can release iPhone 2.

So... that was totally underwhelming.

As I'm reading Gizmodo's feed... I just thought "I hope they don't shut off the screen on the Keynote" HA!
:tounge:

... they are too much of fanboys to do that.
sorry thanked by accident

Just wondering do you have to DL iTunes 7.6 for the new 1.1.3? or can you get with 7.5?

I just installed 1.1.3 with iTunes 7.5, so that answers your question :laugh2:

Before then: they said SDK release in Feb. :wink:

I really like adding and moving icons on the home screen, very cool.

Was hoping to hear a snippet of info on the next iphone but oh well, still got a whole year ahead to look foward to new things, can't wait till the next conference or show or whatever comes next......what does come next anyways?

Something in Feburary for sure to release SDK, then isn't there something going on in September? I know that's a long time span but I don't keep up with these things, please someone clue me in.

Thanx.:wink:

Oh and you all enjoy your 1.1.3 iphones!!!:laugh2:

So far I'm loving the update. Moving the icons on the home screen is type fun haha. Hopefully we will learn something about the new iPhone.
