See this is why I’m glad I’m not on AT&T, the chances of me fighting the urge to upgrade my iPhone every year would be impossible.

Now 75 million OS X users.

Niche market move on, nothing matters Windows 7 is an Apple killer.

Just wanted to get in in before the Windoze crowd shows up. :)

Announces: Snow Leopard, available in Septemeber 2009 for US$29 for Leopard users. Crowd goes wild.

This is just for the standard edition right? What about the deluxe, enterprise, suprimo, ultra-professional, and gee-whiz tiers of the OS like Microsoft has?

Thanks, Swordmaker!

June 19th. I'm already counting the minutes. Voice controls... wow.

This model will completely leave the Pre in the dust...

Find My iPhone: Service for MobileMe members. Shows you map of where your iPhone is located. You can send command to remote wipe your iPhone.

Considering how well MobileME has worked, this will either do nothing or wipe every iPhone in a one-mile radius.

I did pretty good going from iPhone 2.5 to iPhone 3G. Due to the ability to “jailbreak” iPhone 2.5, the secondary market stayed strong. In fact, I sold my iPhone 1 on eBay for $390 and then got the iPhone 3G for $299. Won’t be able to do that going to 3GS.

Now that's funny.

• New 3 megapixel camera.

That's a bit disappointing. And no video?

Thanks for the summary. No Steve Jobs for now, I guess.

Oh, you're going to have to get one. It's got a compass in the stock a thing that tells time.

Had one for a year. Love it.

It’s got video. Doesn’t come with Steve Jobs, though.

Right, I saw that on Apples website. Maybe version 4 contains the Steve Jobs app. Actually, I was hoping he'd make an appearance at the conference, just so we could see how he's been doing.

Thanks for the great update!

When I retired, I got rid of my "ball & chain" (wristwatch & cell phone.) Now, however, I have so much personal stuff going, I may be forced to relent and get an iPhone -- unless Apple finally gets off dead center and comes out with my "Dream Newton"... (Actually, the iPhone keeps getting closer to a fit -- except its screen is too small for my graphic/cartography archaeology needs...)
