Steve Jobs To Keynote WWDC iPhone Announcement
Stoobalou writes "Apple's worst-kept secret will be revealed on June 7. A press release from Apple HQ has made it almost certain that the company will announce the new iPhone 4G on June 7, in our opinion, at least. The missive from Cupertino simply states that Steve Jobs will kick off the Worldwide Developers Conference 2010 with a keynote address. The thing is, Apple's enigmatic frontman doesn't turn up to these geeky WWDC shindigs unless he has something to announce that will get the hyped-up gang of Apple fanboys and girls a-whoopin' and a-hollerin'."
Dude, that's of the ENTIRE cell phone market, globally. That's a shitload of phones.
Where's the Droid at on that list?

He's going to announce that he had a healthy, solid poop this morning.
When my daughter was 2 she used to announce that all the time. "What a big girl!".
You are welcome on my lawn.
Don't try to make him back up his claims with actual facts! He has an iPhone! He is way better than having to stoop to using facts.
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
All we know is, buying some Apple shares might be a good idea, because as a business, they're doing a lot better than the competition, even without having a large market share.
::shrug:: defend it however you want. The fact is, they are selling less numbers of the same hardware, but making more money. If you can't see that means they are charging more than their competition for the same hardware, I don't know what to tell you.
And besides, if it's the software that people like so much, why not just build a Hackintosh?

It mostly does what people want on a superficial level. Any time said people dig a little deeper, a DRM road block appears and the walls surrounding the garden become very apparent.
But it's shiney and so easy to use.
They already lost to the Android. Just like they lost to Windows back in the day. And for the same reason: Draconian closed platform attempted vendor and consumer lock in.
Learn, Jobs, LEARN.
I hold very few opinions. I hold information based on observation and fact. If you wish to disagree, please use facts.
I merely don't understand slashdot's group-hate towards what is, in my opinion, a great product.
We hate fucking Apple, and we always will. Steve Jobs thumbed his nose at the hacker/geek community back in 1984 with his 'hacker proof' Macintosh, which the consumer was simply not allowed at all to open. It was a non-expandable sealed unit. The operating system was a baroque sealed unit as well. If you were around back then you maybe knew some of the arrogant fucks who owned Macs. I even knew some Mac developers. Much as with the iPhone now, you had to kiss Steve's ring to get permission to do much of anything.
Richard Stallman used to (still does?) have a whole page on his website denouncing Apple.
I know none of that matters much to you at all. That's why you're here, on apple.slashdot.org and not the real Slashdot site.
There being reamed because they are being lied to.
Apple doesn't think different.
Apple products don't 'Just work' any more or less then anything else.
People doing support are not geniuses.
There cost increase has very little to do with quality or support and very much to do with a false image.

I notuice the mp3 isn't his patent or his format. Interesting definition of 'won'.
" to do with point by point feature list comparisons."
The n maybe Apple should quite selling it that way?
This is what Apple does: Highlight great features, the hide everything else under meaningless terms like 'magic'.
The iPad does nothing great. That is why it's pretty much just discussed in vague meaningless terms from Apple.
I get it. The iPhone is shiny. Fine. It does nothing special.
