New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

you bastards are confusing me.

get an ipad.

What we appear to be looking at is a brand new input device that Apple has dreamed up which connects to desktops (and laptops, if you like) via Bluetooth, much like the Apple Keyboard. If you take what you see in the photos at face value, it would seem that the folks in Cupertino are making a play for finger-based input in a big way -- taking the work they've done on Mac laptops and the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and translating it to the desktop realm.

huge difference between just a big-ass trackpad and a screen you can touch imo.

are we getting iphone today?

upgrade macbook air and free mobileme?

Magic trackpad would be a winner in my book. Even with my magic mouse I am always reaching for the trackpad to zoom things, exposé etc.

I can see it being useful -- I use a docked laptop at work w/mouse and still use trackpad for scrolling, but if they make OS X go all "touch" I'll be miffed.

They'll announce the new iPhone today. Prob be available next week? I'm going to have to skip this one though and wait till 2011.

I just want the iPhone os upgrade.

Lappy is on a riser to make the screen level with the big one and so I'm down for putting money on that straight away.

new phone time and my blackberry has not ceased to annoy me in the last 6 months so it looks like iPhone for me.

MobileMe for free is a big one for me, I hope that's true. Paid for it before and liked it, especially the seamless, over-the-air syncing. But I figured £60 was a bit much for that, given that thanks to gmail and dropbox I wasn't using the mail account or iDisk.

I agree w/stet - they really could do w/divesting some functionality from itunes to try improve performance

I want a version of itunes that is ONLY an MP3 player

keynote in wave btw (thanks again stet)

The iPhone model is better: separate MP3 player, app store and iTunes store. Bundling them all together into one app is stupid enough, but then making that app also the only way of getting stuff into and out of iPhone/iPad is just ludicrous.

(Doesn't help that it's a beachbally heap of ancient code, either. Think it's the oldest app Apple is still shipping.)

The whole idea of the digital hub is fucked now anyway: having to be tethered to one particular PC made sense in 2001, but is daft now. Music and info shld be in the cloud. Spotify-like

GET READY

Jason Chen:

I’m making my way through the Blu-ray set of Season 1 of Fringe and it hits me that watching shows on Blu-ray with its higher-quality video is really the way to go. Provided you can stand waiting a year between the time it airs and the time you consume it.

Just waiting for him to go out for a doughnut in about 10 minutes.

YOUR BOYS, MAYBE! DON'T IMPLICATE ME IN YOUR "OUR"

Cites an email he got about a guy agreeing the iPad is magical because it got a girl interested in him at a cafe.

Video? I doubt it.

How did Jason Chen get in?!

I mean, Twit's doing live commentary, but: http://live.twit.tv/

It's only video of the pundits, not the presentation.

Jason Chen didn't get in?

Ustream appears to be down, maybe that's why no-one's broadcasting it.

Engadget: "10:42AM "Okay, we're going to switch over to some backups here, I have a feeling we might have the same problem..." Deadly silent here. Oooh, error ballon about the dock connector! "Well geez..." Wow."
