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?

When’s the OS 3.0 upgrade available for iPod Touch?

[MediaMole]

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.

• New 3 megapixel camera.

That's a bit disappointing. And no video?

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

[TXnMA]

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...)

[Stat-boy]

“Tethering”

Hmmmm.... now I am very interested.

[Poser]

Ubuntu... Still free.

[Ticonderoga34]

Wow, $99 iPhones. I might get me one of those in a couple months. I hate to switch from Verizon to ATT, though.

I probably pick up a 13” MacBook (now a MacBook Pro) sometime next year.

But right now, I can download Safari 4.0 for free. I glad its out of Beta, I heard it was blazing fast.

[Uri’el-2012]

Thanks for the recap !

$29 for Snow Leopard sweeeet !

[antiRepublicrat]

I’m playing with Windows 7 Ultimate now and I find it to be catching up to OS X Leopard. Just as I expected, Snow Leopard will be out on or before the date Windows 7 is out.

And it’ll be much better.

And it’ll be much cheaper.

All versions.

Again, Microsoft needs to learn to lead a moving target. Then again, Microsoft just needs to learn to lead, period. Right now they just follow.

I own a fire breathing iMac. This is my first Mac and I have had it for about 8 months. For me, it’s been the best computer experience I have ever had. Remarkably, I did not turn gay or lib.

However, the iPhone has me confused, so I’ll wait and just suffer with the do nothing cell that I have.

Besides, I am still upset that I can’t transfer my iPod from the PC to my new iMac... and keep all the tunes I have loaded onto the darn thing.

[Yossarian]

Well, Apple just took away ExpressCard - which I use for accessing lightning-fast SATA drives - and swapped in an SD card reader instead (which, as a DSLR user, I’ll never use).

Grrrr - so what is Apple’s proposal for accessing SATA drives? Buy a 17” MBP?!?

(Also, I need to check if matte screens are available again on 15” MBPs....)

[Gomez]

Mac OS X Snow Leopard will be available in September

Just as the last of the PowerMacs get off of AppleCare.

[Uri’el-2012]

Safari 4 is a screamer !

[Star Traveler]

I see a number of other articles listing all the items talked about — but — is there a video of it on Apple’s site?

[SunkenCiv]

iPhone 3GS: $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB. White and black versions. Current iPhone 3G stays on market. 8Gb model only. Now just $99.

Ah, a 3GS... finally I can upgrade my IIgs... ;')

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

• Safari 4 now out of beta. Safari 4.0 ships today.

Software Update invoked from the black Apple logo symbol.

It took longer to restart than usual, tho.
