  • iPhone 2.0 Software

    Early July is the release time frame for the iPhone 2.0 software.

    Upgrade will be free for iPhone users, $9.95 for iPod touch users.

    Steve pretty much just confirmed the 3G iPhone, says apps from the App Store that are 10MB and under can be downloaded over a cellular network… Oh really? Tried that on Edge recently?

  • WWDC Rumors

    WWDC is tomorrow, and as always speculation and rumors are making the rounds like wildfire on the internet.

    My WWDC predictions?

    1. Much to my disappointment, there will be no Apple Tablet released or announced.
    2. 3G iPhone will be announced, but not available until later this month. Launch of 3G iPhone will also see a 32GB model introduced.
    3. iPhone 2.0 software will be demoed and likely released.
    4. MacBook Pros may see a refresh.
    5. 10.6 might get a mention, but I’m not at all confident of this.

    What are your predictions?

  • 10.6 Snow Leopard

    Word on the street is Apple is already hard at work on Snow Leopard, the successor to Leopard.

    According to sources:

    Snow Leopard is currently on track to come out during next January’s Macworld, and it will not contain major OS changes. Instead, the release is heavily focused on performance and nailing down speed and stability.

    Snow Leopard will be an Intel only release.

  • Security Update 2008-003

    Not only did Apple release 10.5.3 and Beta 6 of the iPhone SDK they also just released Security Update 2008-003. In traditional Apple fashion the description reads “improves the security of OS X.”

    As always the update is available through System Update.
