Good catch - John Tyra

i'm willing to trade that for a new MBP - Anthony Citrano

as anthony ha says "god, if there's no 3g iphone, there will be rioting in the virtual streets of the blogosphere" - Eric Eldon

I really hope it's still coming. Otherwise Apple's stocks will drop as fast as a brick - Andre Heinrichs

I missed it, damn cheering crowd! - Gez

"introducing the new iPhone -- 3G" - MG Siegler

slick commercial - MG Siegler

Gee. You know what? That might just be true. - Andre Heinrichs

lets watch again! - MG Siegler

No, not anymore. Small glitches here and there, but mostly stable. - Don Thorp

i've been having problems posting from twirl, but that's it - Eric Eldon

LOL, "Who cares"...exactly the way I feel Steve - Bwana ☠

what's twitter? - Anthony Citrano

I Plitter .. Plurk+Twitter - Mardee Thompson

It got slow, but Twitter and Summize stayed up - Albert Willis

twitter reduced twirl to 10 per hour to compensate for load. you're probably seeing the effects of that latency - Christian Anderson

how'd we do - MG Siegler

hey it's like risk :) - MG Siegler

It's a small world playing - MG Siegler

LOTS of countries - MG Siegler

people clapping along to song - MG Siegler

yes Latvia! - MG Siegler

is that the annoying small world song? - Frederic

I can has iPhone nao? - Andre Heinrichs

35 and counting - MG Siegler

44 - MG Siegler

50 - MG Siegler

Lalala. Something to hear... - Andre Heinrichs

everywhere? - Frederic

so many african countries - MG Siegler

can anyone see if Colombia is in the list? - felix

cheers for india australia - MG Siegler

Please, people don't scream that loud. - Andre Heinrichs

70 countries - huge - MG Siegler

@felix - I've already seen a bunch in Colombia :) - Frederic

I'm SOO waiting for September when this baby launches in India! - Parth Awasthi from twhirl

Did I hear 70 countries? - Andre Heinrichs

@Frederic, ahh nice! When I went last year wasn't so good... Glad it'll be better next time! Hopefully AT&T makes some deals with them. :) - felix

Crap, not yet in Israel... At least not here: http://www.apple.com/iphone... - Eitan Burcat

@Subhasish Vodafone's press statement a couple of months back was generic w.r.t. SE Asia which was assumed to include India. Bharati made an official press release with Tim Cook that they will be launching in India in partnership. What puzzles me is the speeds that they will be able to support on their networks. popular high speed 3G technologies are CDMA based, UMTS & HSDPA: http://www.apple.com/pr... Though this was in the print edition of yesterdays BS, I can't find it online. - Parth Awasthi

I haven't run into problems with my 8G iPhone either, however, I'm not loading apps on it. The apps will use space to store their stuff. I think the 16G for me. - awilliams from twhirl

the $199 one - don't tell my wife - Noah Carter

16gb in black i shall acquire, hopefully. - John Milner

Will it have a vid camera? - Admiral70

Why can't we have a $299 iPhone in black? What's the point of this limitation? - Mohamed J

while its tempting...the price...the features...im still a believer in ze ANDROID :P now digg me down :P - Chris Hofmann

Black, so I won't see minor blemishes and scratches as much as a white. - Mike Reynolds

I'm ready to buy the $199 now. But since I have to wait a month til July 11, it will give me more time to save enough to buy the $299, Sweet! - Danny M

I'd get the $299 phone; not sure about which color - Albert Willis

I'm not sure I'm going to get either. Even for $199, I'm not sure if it is compelling enough to upgrade from my current iPhone. - Andy Roth

seems like all those people who were worried about the cheap price ruining some of the exclusiveness of the device will opt for the white one :) - MG Siegler

I'll get the 16gb model in magenta. OK, just kidding. The 16gb in black. - Mike Reynolds

16GB iPhone 3G in black FTW! - Joe D'Andrea

it's always best to buy the biggest storage capacity you can afford... - Charles Hudson

@frederic also true, we need answers, encore steve, encore - MG Siegler

I do wonder how costly the new plans will be. Worse than current? - Steveo

It's bad that phones are binded to one carrier and it seems Apple is trying to force that approach to most countries where it can be legally made. - Daniel Schildt

UK *IS* subsidised but no price up yet - Phill Price

@Kevin i don't think apple is getting any revenue-sharing off monthly bill this time around. i read somewhere saying that explicitly. initial subsidization by AT&T -- YES, monthly revenue-sharing -- NO. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13... - Lawrence Leung

29 countries in europe - MG Siegler

Okay, I heard correctly - Andre Heinrichs

lots o' carriers - MG Siegler

"really soon" - Andre Heinrichs

they beat the stretch goal by a little :) - MG Siegler

I hope they don't forget Canada... hello Rogers! - AJ Batac

does anyone have the list of countries for the july 11th launch? Not sure if it shown on a slide at WWDC. Hoping Singapoe is one of them... - Christian Cadeo

@ Kevin - LOL - it is called competitive testing. - Christian Cadeo

Qatar, coming soon :) - Mohamed J

Sorry, @scobleizer :-( - Jesse Stay

so much for 10 million sold huh - MG Siegler

Okay, I want one. Oh, well, I'll take two ;-) - Andre Heinrichs

damn - one more month... - Frederic

Where do I sign up? - Tom Landini

Is it locked - sirishkumar

@sirish Well, yea. Its AT&T. - Chris Ridenour

Aw! I was hoping for today but didn't expect it. First one rolled out on a Friday, too. - Akiva

Quality, going to have to hound O2 now as my contract doesn't finish until August/September... - Joe Dawson

does anyone know if unlock version will also be available at higher price point? - Christian Cadeo

@Kevin that is too bad. I would not mind paying $500 for an unlock version. - Christian Cadeo

Iphone 3G now on the Apple Store website.. - Mardee Thompson

And the Apple web site goes to a crawl, and failed loads... should have saw that coming. It's a want of service attack. - Mardee Thompson

list of countries - http://www.apple.com/iphone... - Christian Cadeo

no mention of a GPS yet, though - Frederic

Dodgeball done better? - Nick Dynice

"you never have to eat lunch alone again" - this one looks like a winner - Frederic

available for free when app store launches - MG Siegler

Loopt? Never heard of it. Is it like brightkite? - Gez

Did I just make myself look stupid? - Gez

Does this mean trouble for Brightkite? - Ha3rvey #teamMonique

@gez - kind of like brightkite yes, location based service - MG Siegler

Dodgeball could have had a piece of the action... - AJ Batac

its all about the software..,, - Ed Dale

iphone rev 2.0 will have the ability to levitate on command - sean percival

@christian - i like throwing twitter in there. all this killer stuff then twitter. you know I love it, but i doubt that would be a main focal point - plus, would jobs okay it with all the downtime woes? imagine him seeing that whale on the big screen :) - MG Siegler

There will be an app to allow us to view ten seconds into the future! - Joe Dawson

@sean - is that really a prediction, that's a given - MG Siegler

It'll have a twitter app, but you're right, there is no way in hell Jobs demos it on stage. It sure would be funny to see how he'd handle a thirty foot whale on the screen :) - Christian Anderson from fftogo

I think .Mac will be updated. Hopefully it'll be in my price range (ie it'll be free). @christian @MG Didn't Flickr fail while Jobs was debuting the new Apple TV? He just glossed over it, what a pro! - Mike

dotmac update, iphone 2, 10.6 demoed, maybe new laptops - matthew

How about just simple MMS? - Michael Pardee

two versions of 3g iPhone one with GPS, one without it. - ahmet bulent

I predict a major "holy crap" factor that ends up not being related to the iPhone. I think Stevie throws a bigtime curveball and blows everyone away with a new device that 'almost' (not quite) completely overshadows iPhone 2. I also predict .Mac becomes Me.com, and Apple also announcing some sort of new software application that's coming soon. (not AppStore) - John Reese

Like John I think there will be some other major announcement. I think the iPhone will NOT be released today (just not enough evidence saying they've arrived in stores) but will be announced. - Brandon Titus

Steve Jobs will announce that FriendFeed is acquiring Apple. - Amit Patel

iChat AV allowing for iPhone-to-iPhone or iPhone-to-Mac conferencing seems appleish enough - Nicholas Molnar

I predict a big announcement - Phil Maxwell

we're doing pretty well on our predictions so far... - Christian Anderson

What about all the predictions to do with the mac, mac mini updates and so forth? Harumph! - Tadhg Kelly

Subsidised Macs - sirishkumar

thanks for the updates MG! - Frederic

you bet, was fun - MG Siegler

Steve did it again - sirishkumar

Thanks MG. - Chris Ridenour

great job - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Thanks, MG. This was awesome. I am glad we stayed fast the whole time ;) - Bret Taylor

Thanks MG... awesome coverage - Bwana ☠

Yeah, great job Bret and FriendFeed team. Simply awesome tool for this. - MG Siegler

Thanks MG...this was great. And to the folks at FF...you RAWK! - JA Castillo

Cheers MG :D - Joe Dawson

Great coverage, thanks so much MG! - Adam Darowski

Awesome :D - EvilChick

glad you did this MG and glad that FF held up so well - nobody else was faster getting updates out and having the comments added a while new dimension - Frederic

Thank you, MG! I appreciate you doing this! - Andy Tinkham

Fun hanging out with you all here. - Tom Landini

Excellent coverage via FF rooms - Jican

Thanks, MG - Kenichi Matsumoto

thank u - sirishkumar

Thanks!! - Roberto Bonini

bows - Phill Price

Good job MG, much appreciated. - Gez

Probably too early to see too much about it. - felix

It is OS X 10.6 just to be clear - MG Siegler

I preferred Lolcat. - Andre Heinrichs

but it won't be part of the keynote - right? sounds like he said 'after lunch' - Frederic

@frederic - correct, after lunch says steveo :( - MG Siegler

I've heard 10.6 isn't going to be about new features; mainly just security and stability....any truth to that? - Benjamin Golub

I am happy for them to stabilize a little. Leopard is less stable that I am used to from Apple :) - Dion Almaer

@ben not sure yet, but i would guess yes with the "snow leopard" name - MG Siegler

I hope that Apple continues to make base system better more than just trying to add features (to get it sold). - Daniel Schildt

OS version names should never include another name as a substring. It makes it hard to search for, and it can be confusing. - Amit Patel

same time rollout- JULY 11 - MG Siegler

;/ - Graham Garland

8 gigabytes - MG Siegler

BOOM - Caleb Elston

Wow! - Benjamin Golub

yes, the 3G one - MG Siegler

Incredible. I will get two. - Lars Trieloff

one for the wife - one for me - Frederic

I think I can see why they dried up the channel a month ago. Nobody can complain they *just bought* a $399 iPhone. - Kevin Fox

The contract lasts your lifetime and the lifetime of your children though. Gotta read the small print. - Chris Ridenour

BOOMSHAKALAKA!!! - Tadhg Kelly

finally an affordable version of the phone - Chris Jones

FF needs a Super Like for things like this. - Stanton Champion

That sound you heard was Twitter crashing as everyone simultaneously typed "$199!!!" - Ken Sheppardson

omg - Alexander Marktl

wonder if this involves a rebate - Nicholas Molnar

I want one of these. - Andre Heinrichs

no rebates - sounds like that's the price - Frederic

If only the service wasn't twice as much as what I pay for exactly the same thing. Sprint gives me 3G, unlimited data, unlimited text for $30 / month. The only thing that sucks is I'm using Windows Mobile and not an iPhone :( - Benjamin Golub

Reminder: 199 USD that is 126 EUR. - Lars Trieloff

@Ben That includes voice?? - Cyndy

Cyndy; yup, $30 gets me 500 minutes, 7pm nights and weekends free, unlimited data/text see here: http://delivery.sprint.com/m... - Benjamin Golub

Wi-fi is 17 seconds - MG Siegler

3g is very close to wi-fi - MG Siegler

2.8 times faster. [ SILENCE ] - Mike Doeff

Okay, 3G is faster. That's not really surprising, is it? - Andre Heinrichs

zippy - Frederic
