I love FriendFeed but the fact that Bing and Google are making deals with Twitter and FriendFeed is yet another nail in why news makers will NOT support FriendFeed no matter how much we evangelize it. This is why if I were Paul Buchheit I'd spend every waking moment getting FriendFeed's feature set into Facebook as soon as possible.

A question: Does FriendFeed have to compete anymore? Is there any shame in coming 3rd or 4th? I know people who shoot with Fuji and Sony cameras, not because they are the best, but because they like it and it works for them. - Johnny Worthington

But Robert - news makers have never supported Friendfeed-- - TechFuga

Good point. They don't bother since Fb owns Friendfeed. Remember, FF indirectly already has a deal with Bing becuase Fb has a deal with Bing. And FF is now indirectly owned by micrososft ( thier 15% stake in Fb, remember). I wouldn't worry so much. - Roberto Bonini

FriendFeed won't win... but there is no reason it should not even run the race. - Johnny Worthington

TechFuga: not true. I supported FriendFeed and I'm noticing a ton of action over on Twitter that, well, simply isn't happening here. http://twitter.com/scoblei... is just a taste. - Robert Scoble

Roberto, I was going to make that point also. FF is no longer an independent site battling for market share. They are a technology proving ground for FB with a vibrant community. ;) - Travis Koger

I finally removed the FriendFeed desktop notifier from my computer. It no longer updates in real time. It's a shame because it used to send me a notification within seconds of someone publishing on twitter or friendfeed - something that the desktop twitter clients couldn't even do because of Twitter API. - joebrooks

Johnny: the problem is that FriendFeed is going to be just a niche player. It's certainly not the dream community I once dreamed of. Not saying it won't be fun, but already the home page isn't the kind of things I care about. - Robert Scoble

And, Johnny, that realization is quite different than how I approached FriendFeed five months ago where I was demoing it to tech audiences around the world. - Robert Scoble

Do you not think friendfeed still wins for easy conversations though? You still couldn't have done this on twitter. I hate trying to talk to people on Twitter. - Simon Wicks

We are totally going to be niche... and I'm comfortable with that now. The coming issue which not many people talk about is the fact that all my social groups don't mix. I have 2 or 3 sets of friends, with different social norms and contexts. I like being in a few different places. Lumping them all on one service, and feeding them the different slices, is just to much trouble to manage for me. - Johnny Worthington

Err, Robert. You just said "I once dreamed of". Sure everyone wanted FF to succeed, but not everyone saw it becoming the next facebook, myspace or twitter (or even google). Where FF is now does not detract from its awesomeness, does not give us an excuse to ignore it and it continues to be, for many of us, the social platform of the future. Your dreams arn't everyone elses' dreams. - Roberto Bonini

Just a quick look at some of my lists and I notice that twitter in generally is about 6 minutes late, and sometimes are published out of order. Is that just my computer, or the same for everyone else? Being 6 minutes late to the conversation is not helpful. - joebrooks

No, but I saw it as being more important than it is today, which if you are truthful, is not all that important. And, sorry, it's not the social platform of the future. It might be the best feature set of today, but remember Pownce? It had more features than Twitter and was a niche player like FriendFeed is. What happened to it? - Robert Scoble

@Johnny, what if something like FB allowed you to categorize all your contacts into social groups... not just grouping them as you can now, but properly categorizing them and then determining which parts of your news feed is available to which category etc. I see the problem with FB contacts is that it is mostly the people you are really close to, which also dictates the type of... more... - Travis Koger

I don't think you're wrong... Owing to the overall decline in numbers and use, what you have been doing (and are doing now) is, in effect preaching to the choir. What I don't understand is why your so intent on telling them they are all going to hell. - J. Abdul-Qahhar

J. Abdul: it's part of my own grieving process. It's also just my personality. I invested a LOT of my career into FriendFeed and now I realize that it just isn't going to be what I was thinking it would be. - Robert Scoble

@Robert I appreciate that, and like a lot of other people I was right there with you... But at this point you are rubbing salt in the wound. - J. Abdul-Qahhar

Robert, I would say you invested your time into the idea of what FriendFeed could be, and that gave the idea a far amount of weight. When people look back at history and speak of the move to a real time web, your name will feature amongst the players. - Johnny Worthington

And for what its worth you and your brother are the reason I, and a lot of other people are here, so, some of this (this turn the whole thing is taking) is hard to watch. - J. Abdul-Qahhar

Wrong choce of words there Robert. I meant, "platform" as in something you build on. This is a feature set to build upon in future social networks. - Roberto Bonini

@Robert is FF becoming another Second Life: still alive but only for a few aficionados? FF is the tail of a long tail? :) - Roldano aka Rotfl

@Robert I feel your pain Robert - how many of us in the industry have had that feeling about some technology or company we actually worked for years on. But who knows what Fb will do with FF yet - none of us can see the future in technology. Something game changing comes along and bang, an existin technoloy becomes useful aain - Arthur Coleman

Simon: for now, yes, it does win at conversations. That's one thing I will keep using it for. But that's like a sub feature of these things and it's only a matter of time before Twitter does comments. Facebook already has comments that work pretty well (albeit not as well as FriendFeed). - Robert Scoble

@Robert All that being said, I don't blame you one bit for needing to get it out of your system. Its just hard to watch. - J. Abdul-Qahhar

J. Abdul-Qahhar: yeah, but part of my brand is to tell the truth and not necessarily what you want to hear. I got a TON of shit from people on Twitter telling me to shut up about FriendFeed already. My brand is about what's next, not what is, and, I also live in public. Which means I'm a butthead sometimes and that's also part of my brand. :-) - Robert Scoble

BTW. Robert, thanks. You made me write that letter :) - Johnny Worthington

Roldano: if FriendFeed turns into Second Life (which is doing quite well, albeit without the hype) that would be very cool and probably the best possible outcome at this moment. - Robert Scoble

Johnny: that's why I keep telling you the way I see it. It might not be comfortable, but telling the truth ALWAYS builds stronger communities. Your letter demonstrates why. - Robert Scoble

IF bret and paul are to be belived, FF is not being orphaned by Facebook. There are new servers in the works, some work has been done to the code etc. i doubt money would be spend on new servers if FF was being left to die. I'm sticking around till we see what paul was hinting at. - Roberto Bonini

Roberto, saying new servers in FB world is just moving the FF code to a FB server. I don't think any money has been spent, just space/cpu provisioned on an already massive farm. - Travis Koger

Still - its an investment in FF's continued life. And i doubt they would do that, much less tell us about it, unless they were comitted to FF. - Roberto Bonini

FriendFeed can't die! Things are so easy to put into FF (Bookmarklet) that newsmakers don't have to make a huge effort to "support" it. - Nathan Snyder

Roberto: Travis is correct. New servers are just Paul's way of saying that everything is moving over to Facebook's datacenter. I'm sure they got some new toys, though, and that will help speed a little bit (FriendFeed is a LOT slower lately than it was a year ago) but my friends at Facebook say that not much, if any, engineering time is being dedicated to FriendFeed specifically. But I've said enough about that part and can't wait to see what Paul shows me soon. - Robert Scoble

would be good to organize persuasive reasons for FB to nurture development of FriendFeed in the pure form we enjoy today. Thinking there may be some $$ value just in terms of PR - both internal and external. What else beyond that? What might motivate Facebook to actively support more open-source development of the FriendFeed platform? Could it make good return on that investment as a monstrously successful good vibe buzz machine - "the next Mozilla project"? - Dan Freeman

Dan: open source community projects haven't seemed to go very far. Look at identi.ca. - Robert Scoble

true more often than not - some do - but no need get sidetracked debating open-source! The Big Question to brainstorm is: what pitch can Paul polish to persuade FB to sincerely support continued growth of standalsone "pure" FF project - Dan Freeman

Dan: the deeper problem for Paul is, where can he make the biggest impact on the world? Working on FriendFeed or working on Facebook? If I were him I would be 100% working on Facebook. - Robert Scoble

FF can compete if news orgs can realize the benefits. Best way to do that is to see a competitor utilizing FF tools, gaining traffic, or doing something that makes others say "I want that." - TheIndustryStandard

Another question for Paul: how can FF community help (even with the small but significant detail work - and bouncing spammers) ... what else? - Dan Freeman

Robert, I agree, I can see a time when Facebook will be the equivalent of the telephone directory (white pages etc). Facebook is definitely where a difference can be made, especially with Paul's openness agenda. - Travis Koger

"I would be 100% working on Facebook" - agree 100% - and Paul definitely has his work cut out for him there. Huge. - Dan Freeman

Why is FaceBook so hard to like, it's laborious, filled with the wrong applications (Games like FARM, Friggin MAFIA) and is not simple in ease of use terms. I use it but find I spend too much time trying to figure where things are than actually get something done. I must have a learning disability I guess. - Owen Greaves

Facebook is a nightmare when it comes usability. Looks like it was designed by a pack of monkeys with ADHD. - Moved to Facebook from fftogo

LOL @Tony - Roberto Bonini

Yeah, college students. (p.s. I am one (a college student, not FB dev)) - Kevin L

I don't mind the 'design' of Facebook, it is relatively clean, however the UX is where it is let down. - Travis Koger

Not sure I agree with you assessment. FF is a different animanl and integrating with FB is not something I need or want. - Poka Yoke from twhirl

IMO, fb needs to integrate ff feature set and provide much more fine grained control over privacy. I want to be able to have public, less public and private information. I want to be able to control who gets what information. For instance, if I share a funny link it's fine for anyone to get it including google/bing, but if I'm sharing my location info I might only want my family to be able to see that. - John

News makers using twitter kills the news makers. I don't think friendfeed was ever about Newsmakers looking for a platform. - Cjay

Cjay: every single newsmaker I know came here looking for it to be a new platform that would take Twitter on. RWW even used it to plan out their editorial in a private group here. When I choose a new platform I'm definitely looking to use it as a platform for newsmakers to discuss things. I saw FriendFeed as being a new kind of talk radio. Actually, what has captured everyone's interest... more... - Robert Scoble

The news makers platform is pure RSS. Twitter and friendfeed feels like the old belt clip pager from the 80's, a quick message here and there, but no way in hell that your going to convey any detail about any news using a platform like friendfeed or twitter. - Cjay

RSS channels are the "WAVE" of the future. Everybody has a channel, Google wave is a small ripple in a big pond..Google should have never told anybody about it until it was finished. Companies have been using this idea anyway on internal Lan/vpn for years... and all of a sudden Google comes out with wave, like its some holy grail. Change Facebook to Friendbook and call it done. - Cjay

but I digress...... - Cjay

Spot on Robert - Ryan Petty

I'll point out that today, FF features are in FB. The news stream is live (if you want it) I want the Status stream live, since I don't want apps in my stream and have made the status stream my default. FB is too cluttered, and the ads are pointless and annoying. I find FF far superior in terms of design, as I do Twitter, but I understand that ads are required for most websites to survive. I just wish that they would be nicer and less obtrusive (and that Friends would stop sending me Mafia Wars Requests) - Nathan Snyder

Playing devil’s advocate, Apple *did* announce at its OS 3.0 event in March that file-sharing/P2P apps would be flat-out denied, just like porn apps and a couple of other categories. I’m not saying it’s ok, I’m just saying this is absolutely not surprising in any way. - David Chartier

But this is not actually a P2P app. It's a remote app for a P2P app. So while I can understand what you mean David, Apple still has (IMO) to be more open. I use BitTorrent to download podcasts, which is perfectly legal and does not void copyright. So this is not an 'illegal' thing. - Michel

So the Spy shots of the Matte black iPhone were fake? - Erle Stride

http://www.ustream.tv/channel... <---- Cali Lewis is reading out the audio Leo - Preston Taylor

@Wrightde you make a great point - Jonathan Langdale

@detorn Many people already have Leopard. I'm willing to pay $49 for the Snow Leopard features. - Ryan

Wow. I might have a reason now to get a Mac Mini. - Jose G

Playing a video of developers telling their story - Michael Mooney

Leo, video with OK audio. http://www.ustream.tv/channel... - Mister IQ

absolutely, I'm there already. Just making the clarification. - detorn

I wish they would play a video about developers complaining about App Store. - Jonathan Langdale

As someone else said -->http://www.ustream.tv/channel... (Crummy video, but better than nothing. Audio is pretty decent.) - Justin

UStreams seems to work fine for me. Anyone else having trouble? - Michel

Developers (Airstrip, EA, Igloo Games, MLB.com, etc) talking about how the iPhone / App Store has changed their businesses and lives - Michael Mooney

Uh-ho. Leo and Alex talking about Fieldrunners. Great. lol - Michel

hate to admit it, but great fieldrunners tips. That game is crack - Michael

Here's one iphone developer talking about their business and how app store changed their live http://cli.gs/cligs/new - Jonathan Langdale

Video ended. - Mister IQ

He finally checked his tweets, I totally call that one - Doug

Argh, just how many times do they have to talk about APIs. - Michel

I am a total apple fanboy, but applauding for copy, paste and undo seems wrong. - detorn

@detorn good point - Jonathan Langdale

@detorn totally - Simon Tracey

MMS - later this summer? - LPH™ and his dog P™

why not MMS now? - andy brudtkuhl

I think that means we won't see the new iPhone OS until July. - Ryan

This is not the kind of dev keynote I'm used to, especially about iPhone which is what is leading development. - Jonathan Langdale

@detorn Oh yes. I hated when that happened on the 3.0 preview. - Michel

Landscape near everywhere, only 2 years late. - Mister IQ

Yep Ryan - I think so :( - LPH™ and his dog P™

No word about background processing yet. - Jonathan Langdale

Is MMS important with twitter? - Ben

@ben no - andy brudtkuhl

"AT&T will be ready to support MMS later this summer." .... they support it already - Kashif Khan

Renting + purchasing movies on the iPhone. Nice. - Michel

@kashif i know i could do MMS 2 years ago on AT&T - andy brudtkuhl

i wanna see dual boot support for windows mobil 6.5...lol - detorn

detornLOL - LPH™ and his dog P™

@ben only if you have friends without a computer... - David Wright from twhirl

Note: emphasis on Parental Controls. - Michel

When are they going to annouce Android support on iphone? - Jonathan Langdale

AT&T supports MMS for other phones, why not the iPhone? - Mister IQ

tethering is HUGE! - detorn

Tethering .... Rogers will never let that happen :( - Simon Tracey

Allowing teathering? - PXLated

seamless tethering... - andy brudtkuhl

Yeah. As a 3.0 Beta tester, I can say that it really is seamles.. - Michel

Tethering is cool, but I want GPS on iTouch with my own MiFi - Jonathan Langdale

no tethering on AT&T? - andy brudtkuhl

f that - andy brudtkuhl

AT&T :p - LPH™ and his dog P™

lol. Major hit. No AT&T. - Michel

This constant buffering is getting on my nerves. - WazNeeni

AT&T doesn't want you to use Skype - Jonathan Langdale

WOW Rogers will allow tethering but not AT&T.... - Simon Tracey

AT&T #FAIL - andy brudtkuhl

boo AT&T total Fail - Kim Landwehr

AT&T is blowing this. wow - Johnny

They're trying to make up for flash with Javascript and similar technologies. - Michel

Damn AT&T!!!! - PXLated

I was just in Chicago and AT&T couldn't handle the 55,000 people at a soccer game. It was a horrible experience. iPhone on Verizon? I'm game. - Ryan

Wow all those ATT users are going to be so HAPPY - Jonathan Langdale

WHEN IS IT OUT!??? - Simon Tracey

announce verizon, so i can ditch att. No tether huge fail - Michael

Verizon MiFi -> iTouch == Win - Jonathan Langdale

I bet new iPhone will be the 'One more thing...' - Michel

Haven't bought an iPhone (and it's killing me) but won't until there's tethering - PXLated

Given the iPhone 3.0 preview was in March, I'd expect this all goes live about...now, right? - Ken Sheppardson

No Esperanto? Booo!!! ;) - Simon Tracey

I'm not sure how AT&T couldn't be a launch partner here -- really strange - LPH™ and his dog P™

AT&T needs more time to filter your tethered packets for VOIP - Jonathan Langdale

Damn it people, don't clap for stupid things. - Michel

What if the phone is down the back of the sofa?? - Giraffes Up In The AIr

I lose my phone and can't find it because the battery is dead (edit: Agree Leo!) - LPH™ and his dog P™

Thats a good feature for my friend who was drunk and paid for a cab with his iPhone... - Johnny

Michel: They're developers. This means they get to build cooler stuff. - Ken Sheppardson

I'm not liking the In-App Purchases. Who's with me? It's just to take more money from me... - Michel

So this is an API for developers to help Apple force people to buy through App Store more. - Jonathan Langdale

@michael somewhat agreed - Ben

WTF IS THAT SOUND!? - Jonathan Langdale

can you "squirt" songs, ala zune? - detorn

Can they simply get to the new stuff - Bas Heetebrij

That sounded like hand cuffs. - Jonathan Langdale

@Jon LOL. Wouldn't be surprised... - Michel

I knew it, 4G iphone is going to be a iPhone Tricorder - Jonathan Langdale

Anybody see any reason I should change my plans to buy a Pre yet? - Ken Sheppardson

;-) - Ken Sheppardson

the guy streaming the live vid, may be comic book guy... eating cheetos... get that image out of your head now! - detorn

Are we all expecting 3.0 to be released today? - Ben

They're not going to talk about background processing? - Jonathan Langdale

No Ben - was hoping ;) - LPH™ and his dog P™

3.0 might be with the new hardware and that still needs FCC approval. - Michel

Ben, I'll pay you $5 if they release it today. Not going to happen. They'll wait till the new iPhone comes out. - Ryan

Find My iPhone should be available as a one-off paid service rather than just part of MobileMe. If I really lose my phone I might be prepared to pay a small fee to wipe it remotely. - bobrudge

I thought video guy was trying to get his medication :D - David Wright from twhirl

KShep, I've had the 3.0 beta and watching the Pre unbox almost made me cry. Why isn't Apple on the ball like that? - iluvgimp

#Michel the new iPhone may already have approval. There's a misconception that you have to wait to announce to keep it secret. - Ryan

@bobrudge I totally agree. I'm not paying $129 for it every year just for that feature. Hell, its worth the price of a new phone :P - Michel

But how many times have they kept it a secret? - Michel

I'm thinking Doom, in real-life for the turn-by-turn. :-) - Jesse Stay

there is a great Leo quote for the keynote, "I was hoping there would be news by now." - detorn

Then get out on the trike Leo! - David Wright from twhirl

Maybe Steve will come out at the end? - Jonathan Langdale

They really need to whip out "one more thing" pretty quick... ZZzzz... - Ken Sheppardson

LOL @ David - Roberto Bonini

http://www.apple.com/jp... - Giraffes Up In The AIr

One more thing...Waterproof TABLETs! - Jonathan Langdale

20,262 viewers right now - Ken Sheppardson

of the stream from the event - Ken Sheppardson

Even the video camera & editing isn't going to bring this back... no tethering or MMS support from AT&T for "awhile" at least really sinks this ship. - iluvgimp

I agree Ken - I'm starting to dose --- I wish Jonathan -- an Apple Tablet PC would be cool - LPH™ and his dog P™

Apple tablet is not happening now. Not enough rumors. I say. - Michel

Michael - I hope you're wrong. I want the Apple tablet more than a new iPhone. :( - Johnny

I hope I'm wrong too :( - Michel

question, isn't using an apple product for medical purposes against the apple TOS? - detorn

This is becoming a waste of time... will they just get on with it. - Bas Heetebrij

This is going to be huge to tap into the healthcare application market - Jonathan Langdale

This is either a great stall -- or they have nothing to announce that is new - LPH™ and his dog P™

It's funny because before the uStream guy fixed the audio, all I could say on Twitter was: "Oh! Something cool just happened. Dunno what though..." - Michel

Why are they replaying the March 3.0 Preview event video? - Ken Sheppardson

This is boring... - Johnny

Well, It is a developers conference - rumors be damned - PXLated

You know, you guys were nagging Apple like this last year. You wanted 3G, you wanted GPS bla bla. Now you're poo-pooing GPS and saying that there is zero coverage of 3G in the US. The beauty of the iPhone is the lack of a continual need for hardware updates. The functionality is not tied to the phone. Every version of the phone has the same functionality, only with different specs - Jackson Pollock

PXL, but they've said all of this already - detorn

I'm getting bored - Jesse Stay

Books in app.store -- to compete with Amazon - LPH™ and his dog P™

Did they say when iPhone 3.0 software would be released? - Johnny

Jesse: Getting? - Ken Sheppardson

not yet Johnny - detorn

Not yet Johnny - LPH™ and his dog P™

Ken, I have bored - Jesse Stay

iPhone is not a good medium for reading books - bobrudge

I'm a dev and this is all boring except the airstream health care stuff. - Jonathan Langdale

iPhone. - Michel

LPH - Thanks, I thought I might have missed it during one of my micro-naps throughout this keynote - Johnny

Where's iJustine in this chat? I know she uses FriendFeed. - Jesse Stay

They are really milking this for all it's worth. Come on..."Oh yeah...one more thing." - Bryan Brooks

OK, how 'bout that new phone? - Bill Frater

there isn't a big history of "one more thing" at WWDC. And never yet without Steve - Jackson Pollock

yeah... iphone is not for reading iphone... is there something else coming? - Bas Heetebrij

As a student. I would love the textbook thing. It's great for me, as a student. Who has his iPhone in class most of the time (For educational purposes!) - Michel

Is this just what we should start to expect from post-Jobsian Apple? - Ken Sheppardson

is apple make a student only iphone - Michael Mooney

You don't get it if you want a new phone. The iphone itself is merely a way to communicate and interact with the iphone OS. The whole point of the iPhone design is that it's as little hardware design as possible. - Jackson Pollock

We've lost the panel.. talking about Tom-Tom :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Where is the iTouch news... where is the background processing... - Jonathan Langdale

I don't know about you guys but I would rather hear the audio feed mostly, not the commentary - Robb McMahan

@Michael Mooney: That's the iPod Touch. @Jon Please dont call it the iTouch. - Michel

doesn't navigation need background processes? - Bas Heetebrij

Ah... Tom-Tom for iPhone. Reminds me... I used to run Tom Tom on my Treo 755p. I wonder if Pre will have it... - Ken Sheppardson

I've been waiting on the turn by turn since this thing came out! sweet! - Bryan Brooks

I like calling it the iTouch :< - Jonathan Langdale

C'mon guys, would you guys PLEASE hush and let us hear the official feed! Comment after it's over like they would on CNN. - Robb McMahan

background processing is such a heap of mess. let's not forget that the primary market for this phone is mere mortals who don't know about memory and process load and everything else. They'll avoid it if they can - Jackson Pollock

@Robb I want to hear the commentary from the panel one what's going on - otherwise I'd just watch the stream. I want opinions on what's going on. - bobrudge

So what's with the hardware for TomTom? What is it actually used for? - Michel

@Robb first comment on this tread has the link - detorn

Anyone know the feed address? - Robb McMahan

oh..thanks - Robb McMahan

http://www.ustream.tv/channel... - Jackson Pollock

http://www.ustream.tv/channel... - detorn

@Michel for mounting in the car, by the sound of it, power + sound + GPS aerial - David Wright from twhirl

Ken: post-Jobs? who's said anything about post-Jobs? - Jackson Pollock

@david I see, thanks. But having two gps antennas there seems a bit of a waste (of money), IMO. - Michel

Jackson... it's just that I haven't seen him yet. I suppose he could trot out and wake us up in a few. - Ken Sheppardson

They're going to arrest the guy and cut the feed right before the iPhone info - Jonathan Langdale

Hardware? Hardware? Hardware? - Thobias Vemmenby

he's on a leave of absence out June - Jackson Pollock

Right, Jackson. - Ken Sheppardson

Will be available when 3.0 is available. Again, not going to happen. - Ryan

Not today, that is. - Michel

Have faith! The Steve will fix. - Thobias Vemmenby

I've had it with Apple demoing apps. They do it every keynote now. Seriously, apps on the iPhone has become a pretty common thing. - Michel

YEA BABY Iphone TRICORDER i luv it - Jonathan Langdale

I'm wondering if BestBuy will let me return the MacBook Pro 15" I bought 3 weeks ago and get one of the new ones. Did they say when they would be available? - Jesse Stay

If Jobs died tomorrow, the company wouldn't change much at all. It's the most fine-oiled machine in the technology industry. Jobs has spent the last 12 years filling the board and the senior positions with people of his own liking. Ive, Forstall, Serlet, Cook, they're all handpicked by Jobs and have been doing their job for the last 10 years. - Jackson Pollock

Me too Lindsay. Original iPhone lacked too many features *I* needed. New version looks much better - David Wright from twhirl

new macs today, bestbuy or apple should let you exchange within 30 days - detorn

Jackson: This event would indicate otherwise. - Ken Sheppardson

This event is pretty identical to last year's - Jackson Pollock

I got the new MBP in December. :( - Johnny

http://live.gizmodo.com/ - Thobias Vemmenby

detorn nice - maybe I'll even get some money back after today's announcement :-) - Jesse Stay

Jesse : Available now, I think they said... - David Wright from twhirl

I'm really happy with my 2007 MBP. Seriously, for me, it's brand new. - Michel

I have iTouch and I LOVE using Skype and Fringe. I don't like paying cell fees. I only want GPS in iTouch - Jonathan Langdale

It's a developer conference. For software developers. They're not engineers and industrial designers, they're computer scientists who are looking to make money from developing their applications on this platform - Jackson Pollock

Apple stock down 4. Down to 140.5 - Michel

Intersting..... - Roberto Bonini

I almost bought the new MBP when they first came about, but I got another 15 MBP prev gen for FW800 - Jonathan Langdale

Apple is not attending Macworld any longer, they're not really doing press conferences to release products anymore, they're changing how they do things, not what they do. - Jackson Pollock

Apparently the market doesn't realize this is a "developer conference" - Ken Sheppardson

Lol. Wave iPhone over stuff to buy. Look at that money go! - Michel

is leo down - Michael Mooney

Is twit.am down? Just lost it on my iPhone and it can't reconnect... - Adam Jenkins

twit.am is down via iTunes too! What's up? - Thobias Vemmenby

Apple shares, up nearly 70% in 2009, have slid during the presentation, recently trading at $140.94, down 3.8% on the day. -- WSJ - LPH™ and his dog P™

also just lost twit.am on the iphone - Michael

Apple stock has been down since market open, not because of today's announcements. - Pete Finlay

Oops, forgot it is an Apple feed... My "touch" is an htc Touch Pro :red: - David Wright from twhirl

The stock has barely moved during the keynote. - Pete Finlay

@ Michael/Thobias/Adam They've been having some power issues today. Outages and such. - Justin

The stock always drops during the keynotes anyway and then rises dramatically after wards. - Michel

Is there going to be a new API to search for Gillmore Gang videos/drama? - Jonathan Langdale

Ken: the fanboys who put hope in every little detail they can find. The market is based on salesfigures and quarterly results. If there is no iPhone announcement today, it'll come later and the stock will stay the same. - Jackson Pollock

@Adam, checked mine, its down - zephyrlily

When can I unlock my car with an iPhone? - Jesse Stay

Yeah. The keynotes are becoming longer and longer. I miss the short ones. - Michel

WWDC is always 2 hours - Jackson Pollock

have twitlive on the laptop via browser working, no iphone via twit.am - Michael

Car thieves are probably cheering. That's sweet. - Jonathan Langdale

and the last years it has been 1 hour of mac, 1 hour of iphone - Jackson Pollock

Actually the stock used to jump up during keynotes, only in the last 18 months has that pattern changed. - Pete Finlay

@ Jesse when can I unlock your car with an iPhone, better question... now thats some development! - detorn

No new iPhone? They'd better after this snorefest. - Ryan

Have they done anything to nip the Pre in the bud yet? - Ken Sheppardson

Final demo - Michael Mooney

Agreed. - Johnny

So how do you actually start the car on Zipcar? Can it be done through the iPhone? - Michel

think they implied the key was in the car - detorn

Michel I believe he said you just push a key icon and it starts - Jesse Stay

ZipCar website crashed.... not ready for the WWDC response. - Jerry Schuman

Hah... Leo's view of the stream clips off the "Sponsored by DylanCombs.tv" from the top of the image - Ken Sheppardson

This is not an entertainment event. It is a public press conference. As much as you would like it to be, Apple does not. They don't broadcast it on the web, they don't do them as often as they used to, they're not even done by Steve Jobs any longer. - Jackson Pollock

Oh, you unlock it via the app, but I don't see why they couldn't enable you to start it from the app as well - Jesse Stay

now i can phone jack to get your car - Michael Mooney

Does this raise security issues? (the Zipcar app). Stealing can become a lot easier. - Michel

Sure would be nice if Leo could get twit.am back up. I can't listen via my computer (I'm at work and my headphones won't reach to the computer). - Adam Jenkins

Jaskson: You're making excuses. The tech community is watching this with expectations. - Ken Sheppardson

Creating an app for your own car wouldn't be that difficult - you'd just need a bluetooth kit the iphone can talk to - Jesse Stay

And since the jailbreak can insert daemons to change the functionality of apps, it might cause a lot of issues. - Michel

Is there an app for internet drama yet? - Jonathan Langdale

Michael, it's no different than unlocking with a wireless remote - Jesse Stay

@jonathan iFlame is your title, someone else needs to make the app - detorn

Leo or staff can you comment to the possibility of twit.am being back up? Need to take a bio break - Michael

this is the first time i listen to twit live - Alfredo

June 17 - LPH™ and his dog P™

June 17 - Johnny

June 17th - Michel

2 weeks - Jesse Stay

iPhone OS 3.0 June 17th - Michael Mooney

iPhone 3.0 next week, cool. - Pete Finlay

Forstall wouldn't be the guy to announce a new phone. He's a software guy - Jackson Pollock

Er, one week - Jesse Stay

this with Leo from Twit right? - Alfredo

Perhaps it's finally time for the genius in the room, Ive - Jackson Pollock

LOL at Line6 accessory for iPhone. I mean, this is solution-without-a-problem territory. If you have an electric guitar, you can handle another small piece of gear. - G. Sigh

GMC out today, very cool - detorn

he's there in the front row - Jackson Pollock

Calling the TWiT cottage! Get TWiT.am up! - Thobias Vemmenby

it's time to replace it.... - Jackson Pollock

Time for Steve to hit the stage! - Peter Kruit

no Steve - Jackson Pollock

15 minutes left in the keynote. Time for a phone announcement. - Pete Finlay

Nope on GPS Touch. They need to keep the iphone and touch separate. - Michel

What did he just say about Ovi? - Michel

Call the Tech Guy, he'll fix it ;-) - David Wright from twhirl

in case you didn't know it, Phil is a marketing guy.... - Jackson Pollock

Here we go. - Michel

Oh look... hardware - Ken Sheppardson

don't expect a revolution - Jackson Pollock

S stands for speed - Johnny

Looks like the 3GS rumor was right - Jesse Stay

3GS. - Michel

3GS??? - Ryan

Ken; they just replaced their entire laptop line! - Jackson Pollock

S stands for Steve - Jesse Stay

Gruber was right about the "S" - Pete Finlay

iPhone 3G "S" - super? - Alfredo

Linday : Sarbaans Oxley (sp?) - David Wright from twhirl

S = speed - Michel

S = sick - Jesse Stay

I don't see them revamping the design that much. Ive is perfecting it still - Jackson Pollock

2.1x faster to launch Messages, 2.4x to load SimCity, 3.6x faster to load an Excel attachment, 2.9x faster to load a large website. - MacRumors - Michel

Sarbanes... - David Wright from twhirl

No reason to buy AppleCare on my current phone. I'll just replace it with the 3GS - Ryan

Anyone seen it? - Thobias Vemmenby

Built in 7.2MBps HSDPA for data xfe - Johnny

@Ryan, what will you tell AT&T? - Michel

S stands for same maybe - Jonathan Langdale

Shweet - zephyrlily

@Thobias http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets... - detorn

I think I missed something due to a streaming refresh. - WazNeeni

3.0Mpixel autofocus camera - Johnny

If they want me to upgrade from my iPhone 3G I hope they've got more than some speed bumps (not important to me in a phone) and camera features and spec I had on my Sony 4 years ago. - bobrudge

So far, many of the rumors are true - Jesse Stay

3MP - Alfredo

Nice. Autofocus camera. Good for barcodes. - Michel

@detorn thanks - Thobias Vemmenby

yes for the cam! - michael sean wright

Parity with the Pre - Ken Sheppardson

this is like the sternfannetwork. they all hate howard - Jackson Pollock

Only 3mp camera? Suppose it depends on the quality of the lens... - David Wright from twhirl

"tap to focus" is a new software feature - Johnny

Wasen't tap to focus a Sony Erricson patent? - Michel

Camera updates are useless without a flash. No chance of focusing on anything in bad light without it. - bobrudge

I wonder if they're going to announce a video app - Jonathan Langdale

good point Geoff - michael sean wright

Loving the new camera on new iphone. - Kim Landwehr

Video - Johnny

VIDEO!!!!! - Alfredo

Video! - Michel

wow on the video!! - michael sean wright

this is where you wonder why they put the SD card in the macbooks - Jackson Pollock

video yeahh - Kim Landwehr

So is it going to launch today, with 3.0? - Jesse Stay

Will we get ShopSavvy on iPhone now? - Thobias Vemmenby

video. 30fps, VGA with audio. Auto focus, auto white balance - Johnny

30fps Not bad. - Michel

Nice. - Tom Landini

meh .. not enough to get me to upgrade - andy brudtkuhl

no way 30fps, thats theoretical - detorn

So close to wanting to get a new one, but AT&T's lack of cooperation is killing me. Still using my 1.0. - Greg

listen to them melt. what did you expect? - Jackson Pollock

since when does Apple bump specs at the end of keynotes? - Jackson Pollock

I will upgrade my iTouch for the speed improvement and video - Jonathan Langdale

i'm gonna say release date is June 17th - Jackson Pollock

VGA video, meh. N95 did that about 2 years ago - Jody Fanning

i agree..... - Roberto Bonini

VGA is 640x480 not too bad..... - Roberto Bonini

Finally - Jesse Stay

Oh crap nice. Voice control. - Michel

can we have skype video chat on iphone now? - Alfredo

Yep, I totally missed the actual announcement when TWiT Live/BitGrav refreshed on me automatically. That sucks. Anyway, can you make phone calls on the new phone? - WazNeeni

twit.am seems to be back up now. - Adam Jenkins

Voice control - Yea - PXLated

Voice dialling...... - Roberto Bonini

@Alredo not if it's on the other side of the iPhone from the display - Jonathan Langdale

Twit.am back up, thanks - Michael

I hope the voice recognition is better than the S-Class Mercedes :D - David Wright from twhirl

Control iPod via voice - Johnny

could smell this coming from the Shuffle upgrade - Jackson Pollock

It'll be very interesting as to what engine they are using for the voice control. - Michel

Nice: control ipod with voice. Good for the gym. - Tom Landini

voice control sounds pretty cool - Kim Landwehr

I've held off on iPhone - Waited for Voice and Tethering - Now have it but damn AT&T - PXLated

voice for itunes! very syncish? ... love the who is playing feature! wow. come on! with genius. - michael sean wright

Voice will be software only, it's in the new shuffle - Jonathan Langdale

I expect a slew of car kits for sale after this - Jesse Stay

people hated the shuffle voice control - Jackson Pollock

Surprised why so many people went wild about the compass? - Johnny

Some guy just shrieked like a girl in the audience when the compass was announced. lol - Michel

Will the voice control work through the inline mic on the headphones? - bobrudge

haha yeah i heard that lol - Alfredo

bobrudge; yes - Jackson Pollock

they've had this on the iPod shuffle for months and months - Jackson Pollock

Still not really sure why a compass is so awesome. Can someone enlighten me, please? - WazNeeni

Support for Nike+, but do any of the us geeks care? :P - Michel

agree, Waz... it is allright... but what's so fantastic - Bas Heetebrij

@WazNeeni To be able to get directional services in Google maps etc. - Thobias Vemmenby

Improved battery life: 9 hours on wifi, 10 watching video, 30 hours of audio playback, 12 hours of 2G talk time, and 5 hours of 3G talk time - Johnny

i can't decide if i want this or a netbook - Alfredo

But compared to what? - Michel

those battery and power engineers they hired are worth their weight in gold today apparently - Jackson Pollock

sweet i can use the compass + gps to map out frisbee golf courses - andy brudtkuhl

Alright you got me how much - Kim Landwehr

32GB $299 with a 10 year contract with AT&T ? - Jonathan Langdale

nice going apple - Kim Landwehr

$99 for the older 3G iphone - Alfredo

that's the macbook move - Jackson Pollock

Does that mean I can't sell my old 3G for more than I buy the new iPhone any more? - Jesse Stay

agree w/ alex. - michael sean wright

$99 is a great price, but is that with a contract? - Jonathan Langdale

i'm smelling design upgrade since he hasn't shown it yet - Jackson Pollock

Yeah. Really good move. We're seeing Apple really looking at the economy. - Michel

The upfront price doesn't matter much, it is the contract life price that matters. - Jody Fanning

June 19th - Alfredo

061909 - michael sean wright

Gah. What about old iPhone users? I wonder what people in a contract might do. - Michel

@andy always happens to cell phones - detorn

michel? renew? - Jackson Pollock

$99 might make the first really affordable Smart Phone. But is that with contract? - Eoghann Irving

@detorn i know but not that quick - andy brudtkuhl

razor went from 600 to 99 in a year - detorn

Are they going to sell it thru the Apple store? - Kim Landwehr

No front-facing camera - Jesse Stay

So $99 + contract!?!?! what the dillyo - Jonathan Langdale

Or frontal camera as MG calls it - Jesse Stay

Oh stop complaining about the old price. You always know that technology is evolving, getting cheaper and while also more expensive.. - Michel

Jony is happy with his design it seems. - Jackson Pollock

there's a lot of geek love in that room :) - zephyrlily

Leo doesn't think Tablet it a big market? wow.. convergence between cell phone and computers? - Johnny

Will I be able to upgrade from the 3G? If not, I'm okay with that. - Ryan

apple announces they now OWN the phone market - stock moves -2.84 - michael sean wright

Leo didn't think the Intel switch was a good move, Leo didn't have any confidence in the iPhone between launch and release, bla bla bla - Jackson Pollock

Is this the longest keynote ever? - Thobias Vemmenby

Yeah, I just think he should be more aware about some of the things he says. that tablet comment didn't make sense - Johnny

Is there a way I can /ignore Pollock? lol - Jonathan Langdale

Yeah. I think its the longer keynote. But an awesome one. Snow Leopard + awesome laptops + 3GS. - Michel

the real story today is that the guy streaming didn't get caught/thrown out... - detorn

we are paying 600$ for it in India - Varun "Maverick" Pitale

He put his Twitter ID on the stream... - Ken Sheppardson

for those about to stream, we salute you - zephyrlily

@Michel I agree! - Thobias Vemmenby

Jonathan - I agree. Pollock is obnoxious - Johnny

@Lindsay Good point but people look at the upfront price more than the overa ll price. - Michel

Yea, $99 really means nothing if it's an expensive contract. - Jonathan Langdale

I don't think I'll upgrade from 3G for awhile. - Johnny

Given the fact he put his ID on the stream http://twitter.com/dylancombs, Leo, he might appreciate a shout out - Ken Sheppardson

$99 is the apple price, not the at&t price... probably be free with contract - detorn

We love you Steve, hope you get well and come back after the summer! - Thobias Vemmenby

The $99 model wasn't listed as 3GS, just 3G - PXLated

Wait - what was the software being used for the background? - LPH™ and his dog P™

That was fast! Apple.com is updated! - Michel

Conduit - Jackson Pollock

Thank you Jackson - LPH™ and his dog P™

Leo, anything mentioned in the first half of the keynote is OS 3.0. Only features mentioned by Phil at the very end will be 3GS-only. - Adam Jenkins

upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB) - Jayesh

AT&T is top trend on twitter - Jonathan Langdale

So whadya say, Leo? When you send your Pre back next week, what will you buy? - Ken Sheppardson

Iphone 3G White is gone - Jackson Pollock

$99 is a great price, I'm just not so keen on having to shell out $1,000 a year on a phone plan. - Eoghann Irving

Ouch! Entry level 13" MBP $1595 in Germany :( - David Wright from twhirl

But 17" down to "only" $3192 from $3500 earlier today - David Wright from twhirl

you've had a 13.3'' tho, it's called the Macbook or Macbook Air - Jackson Pollock

I still don't understand how you buy an iPhone on 17th with a contract or not. - Jonathan Langdale

Interestingly the small print for the phone prices reads "existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB)." - Steve Brady

i wonder when the uk site will get updated, O2 (the carrier) and apples site still normal for me - Charles Greig

So *upgrading* (which usually means at the 18 month point??) is 200 more?? - Steve Brady

$699 + a two-year contract is expensive - Jonathan Langdale

So what's the lowest price plan with the $99 phone for a new customer? - Ken Sheppardson

it's cheap here - Jackson Pollock

What's "cheap"? - Ken Sheppardson

your AT&T prices - Jackson Pollock

No, I mean what does "cheap" mean? $9/mo? $19? - Ken Sheppardson

i think (not sure) $79 a month is the lowest - detorn

it's like $400 bucks with 2 year contract, and $100 a month for a plan with unlimited data here - Jackson Pollock

If I'm honest, I think the Pre has problems in competing on features. I think the N97 from Nokia is closest and better in some aspects. - Bas Heetebrij

Ok, its on the uk apple site now but no prices that i can see :( - Charles Greig

why would i get a netbook with the new phone? - michael sean wright

Leo, you could take questions/comments from the chats in lieu of calls... - Denise Howell

Why would AT&T charge more for upgrading from iPhone 3G? - Tom Landini

It has to be the N97 from Nokia. It has a 5mp camera and It is able to record 16:9 video - Kashif Khan

AT&T are nuts about the upgrading... taking me forever to get the subsidy - detorn

yeah, $99 is not really the actual price is it. I mean, the "$199" iPhone was close to 600EUR if you took the $2/month for 2 year contract with no calls/texts/data plan. If you take any other contract (here in Finland, it's capped at 100MB/month regardless of plan), you end up paying a lot more. - Andy Patel

Upgrade pricing absolutely stinks.. $499 for existing iPhone 3G customers for the 32 gig phone. How much more can AT&T alienate existing customers? I also love how they make it sound liek they're doing me a favor 'because you're a valued customer' - Lon Seidman

So no word about iTouch, this sucks for people that don't want a month plan. - Jonathan Langdale

I'm looking at the new macbook pro prices and the 17" is now $2499. I think that is a lower new price. - Pete Finlay

The iphone ad is up! http://www.apple.com/iphone... - Peter

great coverage! thanks all - michael sean wright

iPod Touch news is usually announced in September so it's ready for the holidays. - Mister IQ

Leo, you must do a MacBreak Weekly with Andy! - Pete Finlay

rogers hasnt either, but after what happened with iphone 3g last year, i expect 3 year contract and a lackluster expensive plan. - mark pompeo

the interesting thing about the voice commands, i suggested that to apple over a year ago though the contact us section, altough i suggest this for the ipod specifically. i expect just a coincidence. they had to add that, almost every phone has voice commands - mark pompeo

sorry to hear that Leo. - michael sean wright

I was really hoping for background apps, and front facing video. Still, seeing all the other stuff makes this a must have device. I am just worried about getting shafted by AT&T in my attempt to get upgraded. - Darrell Bell from twhirl

Sorry Leo, it was a good show...although lost in the ethers... - Bill Frater

thanks for the coverage though leo, we salute you for your efforts - mark pompeo

Yep, great coverage Leo. You have a lot to answer for... I'd refused to Web 2.0, then I found TWiT, now I'm on Twitter, FB and FF, in one weekend! :D - David Wright from twhirl

I'm catching up on TWiT network, must be over 60 hours in the last couple of weeks! NOTE: Don't listen to 8 hours of Security Now back to back! Ended up dreaming I was decrypting files, manually in my sleep! :D - David Wright from twhirl

LOL @David - Roberto Bonini

There is just something soothing about Leo's voice and the TWiT gang are usually hilarious - David Wright from twhirl

did we hear anything about a2dp for the 3G? for the 3GS? - Alan Kroeper

alan, i wasn't watching too closely, but i don't see anything in this chat mentioning it - however there's lots of bluetooth stuff in the 3.0sdk so it might be in there... there's more news to come over the next couple days - Chris Heath

"if you’re not really sure what all the fuss is about, I’ve got one word to say: multitasking." - yeah, right, multitasking for WebApps, glorified AJAX objects, which is all Pré is capable of running at the moment. - ianf ⌘

ianf: Can you give an example of something you'd like it to run that it can't? - Ken Sheppardson

Have you pre-ordered one yet? - Aaron

Ken, no, in fact I'm all in favor of WebApps, especially now the HTML5 is around the corner with local storage etc., only wanted to underline the apparent inflation of the term "multitasking," which used to imply something wholly different where native-platform objects were concerned. I am sure Pré is capable of all that, and, with its own SDK, will in due time be able to keep pace with... more... - ianf ⌘

For anybody new to webOS, O'Reilly has a rough cut of the book by Palm CTO or Software Mitch Allen. It's available from ORA as a rough cut at http://oreilly.com/catalog..., and the first chapter is on Palm's developer site at http://developer.palm.com/webos_b... - Ken Sheppardson

FYI, there's a Palm Pre room with lots of info https://friendfeed.com/palm-pr... - jcunwired

Ian, have you read the WebOS SDK? - jcunwired

No, not yet, if ever; merely some press reports. Decided to wait until Pré (a) migrates from vaporware to realware; (b) survives the first few months. Perhaps then. Life's too short and all that. - ianf ⌘

Just checking to be sure all your knowledge isn't derived from Apple fanboys :) - jcunwired

Did I pass? Was there anything incorrect in my pre-Pré statements so far, or are you just glad to talk to me? - ianf ⌘

I'd take exception to "glorified AJAX objects, which is all Pré is capable of running at the moment", and will back it up when I have time to cup/paste from the book I linked to. - Ken Sheppardson

I....hate.... rebates - Bwana ☠

Ken, my "glorified AJAX objects" is, of course, emo shorthand, which as we all know IS the new English, so there! <http://friendfeed.com/bitchfe...> - ianf ⌘

What's the incentive to get the Pre over the iPhone if the phone, and the plan (from Sprint) are the same price as the iPhone and plan from AT&T? Unless your just an Apple/AT&T hater (well I understand hating on AT&T) why wouldn't you just go with a proven platform? I just think Palm is being extremely cocky here with their pricing. I predict fail!! My last hope is Android. C'mon people, make a cheaper phone with a cheaper plan. - David

David, Sprint's Simply Everything plan is $99 a month, and includes services that AT&T doesn't offer (Sprint TV, GPS navigation, others). I believe for a similar plan from AT&T you're spending $30 more a month without additional services. Pre multitasks, has physical keyboard, Synergy and removable battery - and it's not on AT&T :) - jcunwired

jcunwired....Yes, but it's still 99$ a month. Not everyone needs to be Robert Scoble here. Give me an option without GPS and Sprint TV (who cares) and whatever other junk I don't need and charge me $30 a month for email/web. - David

And don't even get me started on text messaging. That should be free on any data plan! - David

You don't necessarily need Simply Everything... I believe the least expensive plan with the Pre is the $69 Everything Data plan, which is unlimited data & SMS, GPS nav, Sprint TV, etc... same as Simply Everything... but with 450 minutes + 45¢/min overage. Sure, cell phone plans should be cheaper.... but that's not a Pre vs. iPhone issue - Ken Sheppardson

True Ken, I should have pointed that out. One other selling point for Sprint, after 7PM its all free calling, and any calls to another Sprint phone are free. No more dumb assed rollover minutes, yippee!! - jcunwired

Either that is a really smart more or a really dumb one (June 6th). It depends if people are willing to wait for WWDC or not for the new iPhone. - Michel

I thought for the longest time it was really dumb, but I'm now thinking that Palm is going to get a lot of free press - for the foreseeable future anything written about the iPhone will also include the Pre. Damn ballsy of them I say. - jcunwired

jc: bingo. Every time somebody says "Pre" and "iPhone" in the same breath, Palm wins. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, your absolutley right. I was just venting:) My original point was (although I didn't make it very well) Palm needs to hit this one out of the park to stay alive according to some people. What better selling point could there be (to compete with other smart phones) than a lower price? It just suprises me that thier price isn't any cheaper than the competition. All things concidered, even with the few dodads that the pre has over the iPhone, I don't think Apple has anything to worry about. - David

David: One of the obstacles to a lower price is a pesky little supply vs. demand issue... I suspect that in the first few months Palm isn't going to have any trouble at all selling as many units as they can make at the proposed price. If you can sell everything you make at $199 net, why price it at $99. Given Palm's history, I think they're probably much more likely to drop prices as manufacturing ramps up than those other guys with a fruit for a logo. - Ken Sheppardson

David, Apple hasn't got much to be worried about because they by definition aren't going to dominate the market, only to dominate the most profitable high-level segment of it (which by necessity of numbers never will be very large in absolute figures). As for Palm Pré competing on price - you couldn't be more wrong there. Obviously, they intend to compete on some unique mix of... more... - ianf ⌘

Weighing out features, there's no reason the Pre shouldn't be priced equally with the iPhone. At least on paper the Pre surpasses in every area except internal memory at the device level, and the App store as a concept. Palm will do just fine. - jcunwired

"At least on paper," noted. This eerily equivalent of the piss matches we used to have over the bus- and cpu-clock speeds of yesteryear, which OF COURSE had major impact on what people ended up buying. Personally I wish Palm all the success, because that would then mean Apple's forced to take notice of the rest of us (I may sound like Apple fanboy at times, but am anything but. I only hate it less than that Windoze gift from Satan to Mankind). - ianf ⌘

No piss match here, just reality. Your comments have been so absolutely positive, how could we EVER think you were a fanboy? </sarcasm> :) - jcunwired

Perhaps if you could supply me with few templates of to-you-not-offending/ "unfanboyish" comments, I might have a clearer view of what is it that you wish I should emit. Then the rest would be just a matter for negotiation over reimbursement level, channels, etc. - ianf ⌘

Ken, "If you can sell everything you make at $199 net, why price it at $99." Forgive my ignorance, but if you can sell phones at $199 (don't forget the stupid rebate) couldn't you sell more of them at $99? Besides, it's not the phone price I have a problem with, It's the plan price. I would gladly pay $300 for a Pre if I could get the plan at $50. I guess I'm not coming from the same... more... - David

David: I think for the first few months Palm we be able to sell Pres as fast as they can make them for $199. You can't sell more than you can make. :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Just read that Best Buy will be applying the rebate for you. $199 at Best Buy. - Chris Gardner

Ken...then there's the shortage of handsets. http://www.engadget.com/2009.... - David

Chris....Best buy gets it!! That's going to make a lot of people happy. - David

If a phone costs $171 to make, it doesn't make a lot of sense to sell it for $99. David - you hit the nail on the head, you WANT one. Now the task is to find the carriers with the best coverage in your area and compare plan prices. My guess is that Sprint will be the most competitive. I'm not nuts about paying $75 a month (after taxes) either, but with the features realized in... more... - jcunwired

Can you watch Hulu on the Pre? If I could replace my Cable bill by using a smart phone/laptop for TV, then I can justify a $99 monthly bill!! Or!!! (the wheels are a turnin') maybe I'll just buy a friend a slingbox for their birthday and sponge cable off them!!! - David

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this stuff is too pricey! http://news.cnet.com/8301-10... - David

Hulu will be available once Flash comes to WebOS, which was announced for sometime later this year (though it may be a surprise at launch).. Same for slingplayer - supposedly an app will become available. Edit: dunno what its all about, but Sprint TV comes with their data plans. - jcunwired

When you view a smartphone as a computing platform, what you get in that little package really isn't bad for the $ - jcunwired

Awesome - ralphsaunders

"then there's the shortage of handsets" -- That was my point. If there's a "shortage", one could say they're actually charging too little. - Ken Sheppardson

Oh Ken!!! Don't say that!!! :) Do you think the shortage is legit, or is it by design? - David

I'm quite confident Palm is and will be making as many as they can, as fast as they can. Whether that's sufficient to meet the demand in June and how the tech press will respond to inventory issues--if there are any--is yet to be seen, but I'm pretty sure that if Palm sells through their inventory they'll be very, very happy. - Ken Sheppardson

When Apple ran out of supply, we got "Isn't that amazing, look how popular this is!". When Palm runs out it will be "Palm you suck!" :-)) - jcunwired

Hulu was great until they block boxee - Fee501st

Public holiday here in Australia. FINALLY get to watch TWiT Live stream :D - Johnny Worthington

is it because advertising is more profitable on network television? - Phil Maxwell

Looking at Hulu.com now. It appears you still have to go through the ABC.com player in order to view ABC content. - Marques Stewart

I know this is an old gripe but I would at least like to watch Hulu. Not only is it unavailable, but I pay $US80 a month for 20GB UP and DOWN. - Johnny Worthington

a lot of these sites are blocked in Canada..anyone know a Canadian friendly site? - Jeff Gignac

I use boxee for what it is. I have a 1tb my book with music and videos and I also love hulu and rev3. Now if they can get live feeds in there it would be the ultimate media center. - ZOD

Lesson learned: don't try to jailbreak an iPhone with little free space. Restoring. I'll try Pwnage when there's a little more free space.

yeah, you gotta have space. whoopsie! - Josh Haley

just re-jailbroke mine, tethering & copy+paste FTW! - Jayesh

Doesn't AT&T know you are tethering and charge you extra? It's a rumor I heard, at this point. - Josh Haley

What apps did you install after JB? - Doug Sampley

Why were you trying to jailbreak, Leo? - Lise

I tried pwning a couple of months ago but pwnage wouldn't work on the new MBPs. Has this changed? [Edit] Assuming you used your mac of course. - Kamath (नमः)

Used QuickPwn on the Mac - had to install old USB drivers on 10.5.6 for DFU to work, but it was easy enough. - Leo Laporte

Have you tried the 3.0 betas yet? - Patrick Jordan

I used QuickPwn and it works good. I like it for running Apps in the background and ability to record video! - Philip Mikaelian

as Leo said, QuickPwn is the trick, as to why would one Jailbreak? Really now, why wouldn't one Jailbreak and utilize ones iPhone to it's full potential? - Jerry O'Connell

Great concept, initial effort. Like that one can use wifi vs. proprietary 3G to transmit content. Also enables use of higher end devices vs. low end cell phone type cameras--yet enjoy similar real (or near real) time transmission. . - JimmyJet

Too bad they don't produce cards that include GPS tagging (not sure if that is even possible) but it would be a great product. - Brian Sullivan

Brian, the Eye-Fi Explore does support GeoTagging. - Mike Hussein Cohen
