Apple's WWDC Unveils iPhone 3.0, OpenCL, Laptop Updates, and More
Lots of big news from WWDC today including updates to almost all of Apple's laptops. They added a 13-inch version to the MacBook Pro line, updated the MacBook Air, and added a few new ports to some of the machines including an SD slot and firewire 800 port. Software updates saw Safari 4 launched, OS X updates including threading changes, Exchange support to mail, calendar, and address book, and OpenCL a new open graphics standard. The iPhone got quite a bit of love in 3.0, much of it just confirming older news. Cut, copy, and paste, shake to undo, developer APIs, Cocoa Touch support for text, landscape mode updates, spotlight, and MMS all made the bullet list. You will now also be able to rent and purchase movies directly from your iPhone. Other new features in 3.0 include the much debated tethering ability, allowing you to use your iPhone as a cellular modem (unfortunately there was no mention of AT&T actually supporting this feature, a wonder there wasn't a riot), integrated TomTom GPS navigation, and game features galore. New functionality also allows you to locate your iPhone via MobileMe, play a sound to help you locate it (regardless if it is set to silent), and even wipe your data remotely. The New iPhone hardware updates, "3GS", adds a 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, voice interfaces, twice the processing power, and hardware encryption. The 3GS comes in 16GB ($199) and 32GB ($299), pushing the 3G (which they are keeping on the market) to $99. Lots of other small updates amidst the bustle, looks like another successful WWDC.
"Get Some" which Apple execs were rumored to have yelled at rival Palm execs while squeezing their junk.
HAHAHAHAHAH! You FAIL. Second place is first loser!
Now you will be modded redundant or overrated for NOTHING! Kick yourself immediately. Self-flagellate for imagining such a dirty thought such as the coveted frist psot, which you hamhandedly failed to grasp! It slipped through your entangled fingers like the wayward semen you try to hold so that it won't dribble down your nuts and onto the towel laid across your office chair!
You fail. Now the entire collective consciousness of Slashdot will remember you as a chump, a sham. You will be ostracised and blacklisted with the negative karma as doled out, ladled onto you, by hordes of angry homosexuals. How dare you deface an Apple discussion with your vile excrement. See that pile above boy? Huh? I shove your face into it so that you will not poop on my forum again.
You, sir, are banished forever. Go to Digg with your tale between your legs lest you soil this proud carpet again!
Um am I missing something? I'm not seeing any posts above mine and as I said I have Karma to burn. Go to Digg ouch, I wonder if you'll be modded funny
Yeah, I think you are missing the first post - the one before your post.
Mod the unbeliever straight down to hell!
But at least we know its an Apple SD card reader so it must be better!
Of course it is. It ejects the cards by itself with a cute little motor and a soothing chime. Not like those primitive SD readers you find on PC clones.
Also it goes to 11.
May contain traces of nut.
Made from the freshest electrons.
Only a 3 megapixel camera? Decent lens? Light source for indoor? 480/320 screen? lame
Fixed that for you
Can we sue you for impersonating (badly) a lawyer?
Comrade, we need your documents detailing when was the last time your RDF passed inspection.
No Phone In The Universe. EVER.
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
I'd be pissed off to man. I started looking for my first computer when Intel released the 486/DX33. I'm STILL looking and waiting. Then came the DX/2 models, then PCI, then x4, then the Pentium. I came really close around the time of the FDIV bug. Things were looking good, the P75 and 90 were pigs, MMX did not have application support and it was going to be a while for the P2 and Cyrix had gone under. AMD screwed it up with the 686 and my wait started all over again. As soon as they stop getting faster and the price stops going down, I will eventually get a computer.
WWRXSD?

I guess the Etch a Sketch patent expired, so the shake to undo method is now free to use.
Lacist!
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Yes, and it's one of the reasons I refuse to buy Apple products: I don't like giving money to smug douchebags. I've only ever known two kinds of mac users: clueless old people, and smug douchebags. I mean seriously, all their commercials could start off, "Hi, I'm a PC." "And I'm a smug douchebag."
