Steve Jobs To Keynote WWDC iPhone Announcement

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-of-course-he-will dept.

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'."

    There, I said it. Did I say it first?

    What I really want is the successor to the Nexus One to play with side by side.

    Get back to me when you've had a _working_ finger-based touch screen phone for 2 years and I'll take a look.

    2 years you say?

    Interesting how you don't expect Google/HTC to have had a "_working_ finger-based touch screen phone for 2 years?"

    For the record, that date I quoted above is the date that the first Android phone, the G1 (aka HTC Dream), was announced. That was 1 year, 8 months, and 1 day ago. The phone itself wasn't released for another month, on October 22, 2008 in the US... 1 year, 7 months, and 2 days ago. It hit Europe 8 days later.

    Guess you'll have to sell your Nexus One, as Google hasn't has a "_working_ finger-based touch screen phone for 2 years."
