Well it relies on the end users to upload/update content and there are more people in the US so it's not surprising. If this update brings the phone to more people over here then content will only increase.
I see this is the last demo, time to get down to the nitty gritty perhaps?

Maybe.

I have a bad feeling about this. Its been in my mind and others for a while. Its a developer conference. There is a good chance we won't get the 3g today

Keynotes usually last 1.5hrs. Of course there is the "one last thing" which might change it all.

iPhone 2.0 will be available in early for July. Free for iPhone owners, $9.99 for iPod Touch owners.

True, it's probably going to be Macworld when we get a new version.

petemc · 09-06-2008, 19:15

I think its going to be sooner than Macworld. Shops aren't stocking the old iPhone and theres those rumours about stores getting packages saying "Do not open till today." Theres too many rumours around for it not to be today, but the way its going they may all just be rumours.

Aye, its all been about the software so far as you'd expect for a developer conference. Anything concerning 3G is bound to be an 'and finally' moment, especially with that covered-up sign and the fact that all the shops are closed - why would they be clsoed for a software-only keynote?

You also have to remember that location-aware apps are nothing new. They've been around on other devices for a while now. What is new is the level of integration.

petemc · 09-06-2008, 19:18

Exactly. The App Store and all the things they've spoken about aren't launching today so why would they close the store? C'mon Stevey boy.

I don't like the 'me.com' thing, it's pretentious like 'my computer'.

Lots of photo stuff now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they still had the same limitations as the (non broken) iTouch.

I guess they needed something more relevant than .Mac but I'm also not hugely impressed with the name. The concept looks very good though.
