WWDC 2008
It's over. Well, not quite, but the keynote is. The WWDC ( World Wide Developers Conference) will continue for the rest of the week.
All announcements have been made. I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping they would revamp the MacBooks. There were rumors of making them aluminum. I had such hopes for a small aluminum laptop of reasonable price and power (The MacBook Air doesn't count. I'm still rather attached to my built-in DVD drive). I have a strange attachment to the old 12" Powerbooks. I want one of those, with more power. Alas, I will have to wait for that dream to come true. Perhaps they will do a release at the end of the summer. I may have to wait until MacWorld in January '09, or longer.
The news of the 3G iPhone is exciting. According the their now updated website, Canadians can get the iPhone at the nearest Rogers or Fido store as of July 11th, 2008. There doesn't seem to be a way to purchase them off the Apple site. As far as I know, we, as an Authorized Apple Reseller, will not be able to sell them, though I will post here if there is a change. You will be able to get cases and other accessories for the iPhone here once the cases for the 3G start coming out.
The iPhone 2.0 software is also exciting. I think the iWork integration will the largest perk for me, however I am of the opinion that it is unfair that iPod touch owners have to pay for it when iPhone owners do not.
