Is it just me then?

scurvyman said, (120 days ago)

oh man, I'm following along the liveblog on Engadget

henny said, (120 days ago)

I wish I was working today!

Corey Hart said, (120 days ago)

is it live now? is it streaming on ze internerd?

henny said, (120 days ago)

Those guys are trying to stream it live, but I think the MacRumors live blog is better.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I am excited to see what software they release for the iPhone. I really hope they don't hobble new stuff on the old phone just because there is a new hardware platform. That will really upset me.

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

I'm watching the live blog on gizmodo.com. I also called my local apple store and they told me to fuck off and watch online for information. Can I get an iPhone today people?

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

iCall.com for the iPhone is bomb. Can I connect my laptop to my iPhoen via bluetooth and therefore have an internet connection anywhere.

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

Also, the girl from that apple store that told me to fuck off sounded hot.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

@TJ - I doubt the new ones will be in stores today, but who knows.

You cannot use the phone as a bluetooth modem. However, I've never really needed that because the phone has a full browser, etc. And most of the time, I use Wifi anyways.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

The new iPhones better be in stores today, because I've already planned a ritual desecration of my BlackBerry.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

My friend Roman is so excited that he says he's willing to get an OLD iPhone today just so he can upgrade when the new ones come out.

Personally, I think that means he's part retarded.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

I'm getting nothing but music on the iphonealley audio feed. MacWorld has said they told everyone to turn off their electronic devices.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Audio now at iphonealley, but it's completely inaudible.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I miss the days when they just broadcast the thing live in Quicktime.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

The audio feed is now working, but I do wish there was video. I'm sure it'll be on iTunes in a few hours, but who can wait for that?

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Of course, if I were in SF (like SOME of you), I'd be at the conference right now.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I could not care less about Exchange support.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

@soulcamp - I hate crowds. And lines. And people.

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

Oh my lord, the iPhone will support Outlook Exchange and Cisco VPN. We use both at my office.

Manuel said, (120 days ago)

F5 F5 F5 F5!! I'm gonna wear out this button today!

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I want to code an iPhone app. I bet it won't be that hard.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I love that their SAMPLE APP is essentially BuddyBeacon - show me all my friends who are nearby.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I am super jazzed about location aware applications.

I really want things to happen on my phone when it comes near to phones owned by my friends. Like, HEY! TJ Powerjack is nearby! Buzz buzz buzz!

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

And Bonjour stuff. I want my phone to know, hey, I just got home! Let's turn on the music in the living room.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Yay! Real games!

scurvyman said, (120 days ago)

This is making me reeeaaally wish I had one

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I will play the shit out of Super Monkey Ball.

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

From now own anytime I have information I need to convey to my friends I will project it on a giant wall in Myriad font.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

Do you think the software upgrade will drop today?

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

The iPhone hasn't been available in stores for weeks. They will be on the shelves today, and I imagine the software upgrade will be downloadable, too.

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

Will it only be avaliable at Apple stores? What about AT&T shops.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

Oo, I will have to make a GoTeam app that lets you upload photos directly from the camera.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

I don't know. I find it hard to believe that AT&T would have them already and there not be at least one photo on the web. They'll probably either get them later today, by courier, or later this week.

I'm hoping there's a subsidized upgrade price from AT&T, though if I can't get it today or tomorrow, I will go to the Apple Store.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I have to go walk my dogs or else they will shit on the floor!

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Yes, now I can write charts for the band from my phone!

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I GET IT! You can write all sorts of different apps for it because its a real computer. OK ALREADY.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Enough app demos. Let's see the 3G iPhone so I can head to the Apple Store and buy one.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I bet you $5 that the new hardware does not drop til July.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

You're on.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

OK REALLY GOING NOW, I hope they don't announce anything mind blowing while I am digging shit out of the grass.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Hmmm - no iPhone 2.0 software upgrade until July.

makelikepaper said, (120 days ago)

GRRRRR

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

Well, I called a AT&T that is labled at a iPhone distributor, they have no release date.

scurvyman said, (120 days ago)

iPhone 3G announced!

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Shit! Now my iPhone 3G is going to cost me $5 more.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

@soulcamp - get ready to pay up!

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

I don't know if I can keep dealing with these app error 523s on my frickin' BlackBerry for another month.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

Oh just calm down.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

Seriously, if my BlackBerry crashes and loses all my data again, and I have to be without a phone for several hours while I wipe the thing clean and reload the entire OS from scratch, I'm going to flip my lid.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

Though, to be a devil's advocate, 3G and GPS is not that much of an improvement. I mean, yes, sure, it is faster. But in all honesty, I've never had to wait very long for any page to load, especially iphone sites.

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I will probably NOT UPGRADE until my current one breaks.

TJ Powerjack said, (120 days ago)

Ok, so the phone is actually going on sale July 11th.

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

@benbrown: True, though GPS is really nice. But, the new pricing is a killer. Your phone is now worth less than my BlackBerry (in theory). Wanna trade?

henny said, (120 days ago)

Where the fuck are the new Macbooks?

benbrown said, (120 days ago)

I have already lost interest.

Though I am excited to be benbrown666@me.com

soulcamp said, (120 days ago)

I just read that .Mac storage size will double when it switches to .Me - I already went from 4GB to 30GB last year, which caused all my computers to run out of disk space. Now it's gonna be 60GB - that's half the size of my MBP's disk. If they don't make the iDisk image dynamically sizable, I guess I'll have to ditch automatic iDisk syncing for good.

the way i get by said, (120 days ago)

another year where i breathe a sigh of relif that no iGame has been announced

... what?

nomi oh my said, (120 days ago)

I still find this hysterically funny

@nomi: I've never liked MadTV because it's always been very low-brow, but that was pretty good.
