WWDC 2010 Preview

Today, Apple will present several new products to its third party developer community…and through the tremendous press scrunity — not to mention what Steve Jobs recently called (an undesirable) “nation of bloggers” (ahem) — by extension the larger world of its users, enthusiasts and curious potential ‘switchers.’ Some of them will be software, some will [...]

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.

Multitasking for 3rd-Party Apps?

One of the hottest topics on the grapevine this weekend has been an emerging rumor based on multiple leaks (including more than one of our own sources) regarding the ability of 3rd-party apps being able to run in the background -- rather than just displaying "background notifications" as announced for iPhone OS 3.0 this summer on all supported iDevices. New reports from our sources have shed much more light on this and how it relates to the evolution of iDevice hardware.

Impressive Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” build 10A335 seeded

Without listing specific changes (partly because many elements of the full Snow Leopard aren't included in developer seeds to date) other than a handful of bug fixes, Apple seeded Mac OS X 10.6 build 10A335 to developers this past week....we have been quite impressed with what we've seen & heard so far.

Next-gen iDevice picture coming together

At the same time as developers and *ahem* "others" have been looking under the hood of Apple's developmental "iPhone 3.0b2" operating system to discover clues to what sort of next-generation devices ("iDevices" or iTouch Platform Architecture, "IPA;" call them what you will) this powerful new OS will be running on as soon as June or July....other pieces of evidence, both publicly known and in the "insider" realm, have also been coming together.We really, really like what we see coming down the pipe, and we think you will too.

The iPhone SDK, Hackers, and Malware

With the upcoming release of the iPhone SDK, users will be able to run 3rd party applications with Apples blessing. However, much of the hacking necessary to do so without the SDK has already taken place, which may have given malware developers a head start.
