January 27th Apple Event Preview part 3: New “Tablet OS” and iPhone OS
After the "Tablet" itself, one of the most anticipated announcements at today's Apple Event is that of a new operating system -- often called iPhone OS 4.0 by rumormongers, but we've heard other names for it -- that would power the Tablet and be accompanied by a simpler variant for hand-held iDevices offering parallel new features. Here's a summary of what we hope to see from Apple's new system software.
January 27th Apple Event Preview Part 2: iTunes and Content
Continuing our January 27th Apple Event Preview series, we look at the changes expected in iTunes both as an application and a content delivery service.
January 27th Apple Event Preview Part 1: The Tablet
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you are probably well aware that tomorrow, Wednesday January 27th, Apple is hosting one of its infamous "Events" and the centerpiece will be a tablet-like iDevice which was, coincidentally, just "confirmed" by the CEO of publisher McGraw-Hill on CNBC minutes before this post was sent to the presses.The big questions are, what will it be like? What sort of tech specs will be under the hood? Based on years of following the Tablet's development through our sources in Cupertino and backed up by grapevine consensus, here's what we're expecting at the heart of tomorrow's announcements.

iTunes 9 still not 64-bit, internally referred to as “iTunes X”
One of the minor rumors surrounding the Music Event was that iTunes would be rewritten in Cocoa to enable it to match Snow Leopards 64-bit applications such as the Finder. However, this new release of iTunes is not yet 64-bit capable.
Will the ‘iTablet’ run iPhone OS or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?
As "iTablet" (Macbook Touch? iPhone Cinema?) rumors have reached a fever pitch in recent days thanks to several disclosures and leaks by third parties privy to late-stage prototypes of the device, speculation has mounted as to which variant of OS X it will run -- will it be an iPhone (ARM CPU, iPhone OS) or a Mac (Intel processor, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard)?

Snow Leopard build 10A402 seeded to developers
Weighing it at twice the size -- 1.3GB vs 655MB -- of the previous 10A394 build (itself the first major post-WWDC seed update), Snow Leopard 10A402 has been seeded to developers via Software Update from within the beta-stage Mac OS X 10.6. As usual, Apple's seed notes were short on details....but reader & source reports have already begun to reach our inboxes and the early reviews are very positive. Read on for details.

What’s next for iPhone & other iDevices?
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.

New Snow Leopard seed, 10A394 released via Software Update
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.

Safari 4 faster, more stable on Snow Leopard than 10.5.x
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.

WWDC Preview Part 3: iPod Touch, Other iDevices, One More Thing?
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.

WWDC 2009 Preview Part 2: iPhone OS 3.0 & Snow Leopard
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.

WWDC Preview Part 1: 2009 iPhones
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.

iPod Touch, other 2009 iDevices to include video camera?
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.
