How could you?

Did you? Did you forget that it’s iMonday?

When Steve Jobs takes the stage

Pricing is my number one query. I want to know what the new iPhone will be priced at.

Second, I want to know how they’re going to handle upgrades. If you’ve got an ‘official’ [...] ... Continue reading »

    I think I'll watch the live updates on macrumorslive.com, in the past this appears to have been a good resource. This year, they are also offering (less frequent) twitter updates.

    I too am interested in the price and hopefully the unlocking ability will still be there, to allow me to use the 3G iPhone with 3 (which can't be done with the existing version).

    :-) It can - I know a chap who has several setup like this. It needs to be a PAYG SIM though and you're permanently roaming on Orange which is likely to upset them sooner or later.

    Proper official 3G iPhone on 3 would be excellent though.

    I'm far more interested to know how iP2.0 is going to handle existing jailbroken phones. Might have to wait a few weeks I guess.

    Apple have made a ton of cash and cachet off the jailbroken market hack-lock-hack cycles, and it's the 3rd-party apps more than anything that have kept the wheels spinning on the iPhone media hype wagon. I don't necessarily want the Apple-approved apps - I like the little guy, the innovator. Google Maps or Navizon? built-in email picture or SendPics?.

    Great if their ideas prove so popular that they move into the big time with an official SDK build / deal, but blocking 3rd party apps and making Apple the gatekeepers will do no good.

    All this said, the Apple stuff will likely be eye-wateringly nice and simple, integrated and more than good enough for Normobs, so the whinings of one nostalgic for the kudos of early jailbreaks (wow - I broke it in only 3 hours using 10 different scripts!) means nothing.

    It's hot here near Boston. Do I still have to wear a mock turtleneck and jeans today?

    Wear anything else and expect it to be ripped from you. Today is turtleneck and slacks day.

    http://twitter.com/macrumours though this is probably as big a day for twitter as it is for Apple, relatively.

    Actually more interested in whether there's a MacBook Pro announcement, is it sacrilegious to confess that here?

    No no, I think a nod toward MacBook Pro and other hardware notifications is
    fine... it's all related ;-)
