While we continue to wait for the next two major 2009 iDevice roll-outs — an iPod Touch “S” with specs similar to the iPhone 3GS and an entirely new large-screen device often referred to as “iTablet” — rumor and speculation about 2010 iDevices has already begun to ramp up with a vengeance. One of the rumors with the greatest backing evidence is that of 1080P HD video recording capabilities, followed closely by new, slightly larger iPhone/iPod Touch displays with higher resolutions.

Today Apple released Snow Leopard developer seed 10A394 through the Software Update system. This is the first Snow Leopard seed to be released in an “update” form through Software Update rather than as a complete separate build from the Apple Developer Connection website.

The download weighs in at 655MB, and requires that build 10A380 already be installed. Apple claims the new build contains the old standby of “general operating system fixes for stability, compatibility and security”, and users are reporting that the new Dock Exposé feature works now. [Read more →]

Although the upcoming 10.5.8 Update will address at least some of these issues, many readers have been reporting a wide range of problems and crashes with Safari 4.0 and 4.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5. Interestingly, despite being incomplete and in need of further debugging itself, OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” has proven considerably better on both the performance and stability fronts with Safari 4.0.

Breaking reports coming out of the lines waiting for entry into the WWDC 2009 Keynote (media has just been admitted in the past few minutes) suggest that Steve Jobs may have been sighted entering the Moscone Center via a side entrance approximately one hour ago. Stay tuned to Rumors for updates on this breaking news and ongoing LIVE Coverage of WWDC 2009 here on the Web and also from our Twitter feed, @MacOSRumors!

With time before today’s WWDC Keynote growing short and breaking rumors of Steve Jobs’ presence at the Moscone Center sending the grapevine into a frenzy, let’s take a quick look at some of the less certain, but no less exciting, possibilities that we might see emerge into the light of day this morning (PDT)/afternoon (EDT) in San Francisco: new iPod Touch model(s), other iDevices (”iTablet”?!), and the ever-present potential for a completely unanticipated “One More Thing” — potential that has just received a huge injection of probability if the Steve Jobs sightings at Moscone are what they appear to be.

With the WWDC 2009 Keynote event nearly upon us, let’s taking a quick look at what we can expect from Apple’s next-generation operating systems: iPhone OS 3.0 and Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”. Although we’ve known for some time now that we’ll only see a ‘Final Beta’ of Snow Leopard this week, expectations for iPhone OS are somewhat less certain. In both cases, we anticipate a few surprises….the real question is how big they’ll be. [Read more →]

This first in a series of previews of what we and the rumor-mill at large are expecting from next week’s Apple World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) focuses on the 2009 iPhones: yes, iPhones, multiple. [Read more →]

There has been some debate in recent days as to whether all four (or more!) 2009 iDevices which have been hinted at with multiple references in the code of iPhone OS 3.0 as well as countless published rumor-mongering reports and our own conversations with sources, will actually be announced — no less ship — at the World Wide Developer Conference next month.

There is plenty of room for debate on the larger question, but when it comes to at least two distinct 2009 iPhone models ($99 8GB entry-level and $199/$299 16/32GB high-end models?), Rumors is very confident that we’ll be seeing them during the keynote address on June 8th. [Read more →]

Although predictions of timing (such as whether any new hardware at all will be announced, no less released, at WWDC next month — or perhaps only the new iPhones and/or all-new iDevices such as the “iTablet” will ship then, leaving an updated iPod Touch release to wait until later in the summer) and features have begun to diverge wildly across the grapevine, one thing appears increasingly likely based on published speculation and our own source reports: the 2009 iDevice family could feature cameras with at least 3.2 megapixel photo resolution and up to 720P HD video across the entire lineup.
