WWDC 2009: TiPb Live Meta-Blog Monday, 1pm EDT/10am PDT
Will we see next generation iPhone handware? Will Apple release iPhone 3.0 or just more features for iPhone 3.0? Will MobileMe 2.0 be good to go? Will we have to sit through 8 excruciatingly long app previews like the last 3 iPhone keynotes? Will Scott Forstall say “blow us away”? And Will Steve Jobs show up in some way, shape, or Mobile iChat form to give that perfect “Boom!” or “One more–” accent to the show?
Everything before has been rumor, speculation, and question. Monday at 1pm EDT/10am PDT we get answers.
Join TiPb for a live meta-blog of of the WWDC 2009 Keynote as it unfolds. We’ll have analysis, color commentary, and a chat room going so you can tell us what you think.
We’re heading into the home stretch folks. It’s two-years later, let’s go see those light-years ahead!

this is going to be an epic win. I’m hoping to high heaven they the iChat/raised ear piece for iSight/ black matte/ matte bezel rumors are true

I think we’re all missing something. When Phil, Scott and company did the 3.0 roadmap they showed some cool things that we will be able to do with Bluetooth. Clearly, Apple was working with some software and hardware companies to demo how it all works. But I don’t see them doing the WWDC Keynote without a partner or two to support the new features with products that we will be able to buy almost immediately. My sense is that could be yet another reason why it appears like an earlier release for 3.0 firmware. Don’t ask me to speculate on what I think it is but something beyond iPhone hardware and software is going to make this release ‘Light-years Ahead’.

Can Apple really drop iPhone 3.0 release on Monday, when a large portion of their highest profile developers are going to be spending a week away from their offices.
If you were a dev, would you suddenly want 30+ million potential customers to be running your app on final release firmware you’d never hammered your code against?
And would you want to run screaming from WWDC to try and fix bugs on the road, on hotel wi-fi?
Apple may not care, but it would likely seriously p!$$ off their developers, no?

@Rene Not to be rude or anything, but isn’t the whole point with the iPhone platform that every single unit is exactly the same hardware- and software-wise? Sure, some bugs might appear but anyways.. It would be so super-awesome if Steve says: “Oh, and one more thing. This new iPhone, is available… now.” It’ll be mass-panic!
