Blow through your data cap with 650MB downloads for every point update? Not happening until Apple can deliver smaller downloads for updates.
If I have to wait for the carriers to approve this functionality because of bandwidth concerns, then it better not count against my usage.

I'm curious if that is the reason for the Brazil plant. Brazil is famous for having insane prices on foreign technology. This could bring down prices for Brazilian customers. Maybe it'll only be making iPads for brazilians and whatever neighbor countries have good import/export deals with Brazil.
It's clear that Brazilians will benefit from lower prices (an iPad there costs $1000 as opposed to $400 in the US); besides, BR is the main leader within the MERCOSUL region (Southern Cone Common Market), where members benefit from an "almost free market" among themselves. This is far from being as well implemented as is the case for the EU, but represents already a good advancement in intra-regional trade.
Depending on rules of origin parameters, Apple products may, indeed, be exported to other South American countries at good rates...but make no mistake: even if local production/labor costs are high in BR, it may still make sense to diversify logistics and supply-chain from Asia to other parts of the world and still make good money (like Ireland, Czech Republic and Brazil now).

Ouch.
I get 36 hours on my Droid X without any issues...
If youre getting 36 hours youre barely using it for anything more than texting/calls/web browsing etc.
Youre definitely not getting 36 hours without charging playing games/streaming music etc. on top of texting/calls/web browsing. the iPhone too gets 36 hours if you use it like you do.

Any chance of full change log? Haha guess that's too much to ask......
I wouldn't expect a 'full changelog' from Apple given it isn't something that they really do - to the disappointment of many unfortunately.
Still no Verizon version?
Seems like Verizon isn't getting the love as AT&T is getting. :cool:
I'd say that Verizon maybe blocking the update because they want to make sure that all hell doesn't break loose once it is released. It would be interesting to see what the justification is, maybe 5.0 will be the 'big change' for iOS on AT&T and Verizon phones?
I hate how you have to download the entire OS every time there's a small update like this. 666MB for a few bug fixes... Also, what's up with the 666MB? Maybe we should stay away from this update guys lol.
This has been a problem ever since the App Store appeared to; on the Mac one is told to re-download a 4GB application for a few piddly updates in much the same way one is forced to re-download the whole operating system. I do wonder what their rational actually is - when they recompile the whole operating system they're unable to create a piecemeal patch (difference between the new version and old version)? That when they update one thing there is an ABI change that requires the whole thing to be re-installed?

And yet, no new iPhone will be present ... I predict a lot of attending hearts will be broken!
If your paying $1600 just to see the new iPhone unveiled you are going for the wrong reason.
The fact that there may not be a new iPhone announcement must mean that their software announcements will be even bigger. Which is good for developers. It is a developer convention after all...
The new iPhone will come eventually. It was nice having it launch in the summer to help boost the summer month slump, as the highest sales are typically in winter then fade out slowly through the year, with bumps happening at new product launches. So moving the iPhone launch to later will make its effect quite different I think.

people are not understanding that ALL products on the banner have already been released...aside from leopard.
aside from leopard.
Everything on that banner has been released/announced. THERE IS NOTHING NEW ONTHIS BANNER! :rolleyes:
whew...
Ok, please keep in mind that while none of us that aren't in the know at apple can say for sure, it is rational and most plausible that the reason that all these icons/photos are on the banner is because this is what current developers are working on and concerned with in their everyday application creation. Steve said even at Macworld the we are not fully done with the PPC architecture and that developers will need to create with it in mind for a few years to come (hence, the 64-bit logo which applies to the G5). Now, this is not to say that 64 bit chips aren't to be announced, but really! Why would the mix brand new items that have not been announced on the same banner as all of their other known technologies FIVE days before the keynote. It doesn't happen for two reasons. 1) they always wait till the day before to put that stuff up and 2) they always the items on their own unless it has a direct tie in with another known technology (ie: new iPod w/ itunes logo).
Apple wants you to get exited about each new item and focus on them for each promotional piece. If there are 5 major announcement there will be five banners, and so on. Nothing on this banner is a hint to anything. The really goodies/photo leaks will surface around sunday when they guys putting up the new stuff screw up and go for coffee with the banners of a Mac Pro exposed.
Hmmm...... If you look closely at the banner photo you'll see the "64-bit" logo is awfully close to the photo of the iMac. The current Intel iMacs are not 64-bit since the Core Duo (1) processers are 32-bit. Could this mean that the iMacs are going to get the new Core Duo 2 processers, which just happen to be 64-bit.
That's hilarious!! Dude I get your grasping at straws, but come on? Your putting WAY too much thought in to this....

I know right, a long time ago I took a friend to a grand opening of a mac store and they had door prizes...he won an iMac, he instantly became a PC turned Mac person, now he owns more Apple stuff than I do.
Oh yea, I got a door prize too...accounting software

Yeah I'm happy to wait for the new editions to come out...heck if it comes out these next weeks I'll be happier. I do think Apple has held it out a bit too long, but I think we'll all be happy once it comes out.
Heck it'll be a hell of a lot better than the HP laptop I own...god it's so slow.

I think this thread has started to become unraveled. It's a freaking banner with somewhat arbitrarily picked/placed Apple products and software people! It's cool that we got to see Apple's welcome banner, isn't that enough?
But wait, now that you mention it....where the hell is the iPod Radio Remote? :rolleyes:
Hahahaha. :)
Welcome to your first WWDC on MacRumors.
Just wait until Sunday night/Monday morning! ;)

This could be cool but I am amazed how many people say it's too hard to connect to iTunes for a back up. Last night I got home from work, plugged in my iPhone to install the update then took a shower. When I was done with my shower and stuff it was all done.

Despite the picture of a Power Mac-like casing on the banner, I still think that the Mac Pro will have a different structure than the Power Macs.
I mean, developers will still have to use Power Macs to test the PowerPC versions of their software, right? So why not throw a tool that developers will still be using up there?
Plus, of the four Macs that already have Intel processors, the two that kept their old names (iMac, Mac mini) have the same (or basically the same) casing, while the two that now have different names (MacBook Pro, MacBook) have different cases (the Pro does look a lot like the PowerBook, but it has many design changes).

Because Firefight - Matchmaking IS a competition.
If we're being technical, yes, you are competing to see who can attain the most points. I just meant that you aren't competing DIRECTLY against other high-caliber players, thus lessening the need to be super awesome to have fun.
I admit I am not the biggest fan of Halo multiplayer, not liking the general community that plays.
Well, that is every online game, if we're being honest. Doesn't matter what you play, there are going to be people out there who just want to ruin the experience for others. It sucks, but it is the sad reality of the online world these days. The Halo community, in my opinion, is quite good and friendly, but it doesn't take but a very small group of individuals to ruin it. My only suggestion is to play with as many friends or nice players that you know. I have a handful of real-life friends who play Halo, but I also won't hesitate to add someone who I enjoyed playing with.
I used to play a TON of Rocket Race in Halo 3. It was a crazy fun gametype, but it was also very easy to ruin for everyone, if you were that kind of person. So, I just started adding people to my friends list every chance I got when I had fun playing with people. Pretty soon, I had tons of people online who I could play with. We would fill up the lobby with actual, good players, thus ending any chance of griefing right from the start. I won't touch competitive Matchmaking any more unless I have enough people I know playing to fill up our team. Partly because of jerks, but mostly because it is just more fun when you have a team of people you know, and enjoy playing with.

I don�t want Flash banner ads crashing my phone and slowing my connection.
Sorry to single you out, but I'm sick of posts like this for one reason - Apple would not have flash on the iPhone WITHOUT AN OPTION TO TURN IT OFF. In fact that'd likely be the default and I'd have it set that way until the times I want to see streaming videos. So what exactly is the problem here?

As I eagerly await delivery of my first iPad, I know that I want an iPod that will only play music. When I am exercising, I don't want to receive phone calls or emails, I just want music, and I want a device that will hold all of my 12,145 songs, with room to grow.
I don't needs apps, I don't want communication...I just want music.

Ain't that the truth! Anyone actually seen someone using one of these yet?
We had a Microsoft Rep on campus last week; he demoed a Zune for us. It didn't look half bad (except for the colour), but its also important to remember that when they have reps demoing them, most everything will work.

Noticed that the Mac Mini got a bump too? Core Duo 1.66 for the low end and Core Duo 1.87 for the high end version. But it seems like the low end version doesn't even has an option for a super drive? Weird...
