Apple WWDC 2009

This time around, I was not in front of the computer trying to furiously keep up with the three to five live-blogs open side-by-side on my screen. I was sitting in on a meeting for EGO/D's (Electric Generation Operations and Distribution) now-quarterly "roadshow" meeting. I only took glimpses of Gizmodo on my iPhone near the end of the meeting that talked about the typical "good-job this year, but sorry no bonuses" and other corporate pep talk in a time of recession.

At least my iPhone 3G 16 GB is not yet obsolete for another year. How kind of Apple!


Summary of WWDC announcements:

1. New iPhone 3GS, with hardware improvements, coming June 17th (my sister's birthday).

2. iPhone 3G 8 GB still available, now $99. iPhone 3GS at $199 for 16 GB and $299 for 32 GB.

3. Mac notebooks refreshed and their prices lowered. 13" MacBook becomes 13" MacBook Pro. Cheaper white plastic still exists.

4. Mac OS X 10.5.6 Snow Leopard coming in September.

5. Safari 4 available.
