why do people want video calls? what is this the future?

 

[Karma]

What? How come they haven't shown video chat?

AT&T killed it with the 2 GigaByte limit.

 

[dskillzhtown]

iAds once again ruins the ending to an Apple conference.

Well, this is a presentation for developers. They seem to like making money sometimes.

 

[NYR]

Uh.. but it's the 4th iPhone. What's the issue?

Don't think it is creative. They should have called it the iPhone A4...means something a bit more...just my opinion and personal preference. I'll be getting one, regardless.

 

[BocoDragon]

I could see free versions of apps having ads, then if you pay for the full version... no ads.

 

[Zombie James]

Yay, corporate shout-outs.

 

[sevenchaos]

They announced this in April.

Hah. I don't pay attention.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Some of us are forgetting this is a developers conference.

 

[gcubed]

I still don't see the big deal. Full room video conferencing? Works well. Single phone video chat? Not so awesome.

I have a video phone at work and, honestly, I generally prefer to talk without the camera.

enough people use video calling on skype with parents on business trips, kids moved away, etc.

Phone cybering.

and this

 

[UnluckyKate]

iChat is #9.

It better be.

Even if I don't need anything else to confort me buy.

 

[Keylime]

Don't think it is creative. They should have called it the iPhone A4...means something a bit more...

iPhone 4 is the perfect name for mainstream consumers and it gets them out of trouble the 3G put them in.

Glad they did it.

 

[Kunan]

hoo-ray iAd demo time :lol

 

[dskillzhtown]

[SnakeXs]

AT&T killed it with the 2 GigaByte limit.

People were expecting it to be WiFi only from the get go.

 

[bathala]

wanna click those ads for 2gb cap

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

WWDC has always been a little boring for those of us who aren't devs

wanna click those ads for 2gb cap

good point

 

[jonnybryce]

AFAIK "4G" is a marketing term (at the moment)...there are no official specs for "4G" or they have not been finalized...correct?

4G implies very fast wireless technology. There are different variations of WiMax and LTE, but either way, it's just a word for "much faster than 3G" as of right now.

 

[derder]

AT&T killed it with the 2 GigaByte limit.

!

 

[borghe]

32GB turned it from a DAY ONE! to a probably...

then HD recording turned it back to a DAY ONE!!

Carphone Warehouse offers UK iPhone 4 pre-registration, expected in June http://bit.ly/d4CyfZ

 

[noah111]

iChat Roulette

 

[D4Danger]

accidentally clicking an ad will load a full screen video

great

 

[Gary Whitta]

The phone is definitely Day 1 for me but this time I think I will pre-order online rather than standing in another fucking line at 6am.

 

[Anarchistry]

11:27AM "So now we've got this cool navigator on the bottom. It spins the car. The only way you'll be able to get one of these is through this ad on the iPhone. So if you want to get a Leaf you need to get an iPhone..."

steve jobs getting desperate?

 

[jonnybryce]

why do people want video calls? what is this the future?

Seeing someone you haven't in a while, showing someone what you did in a group project, showing a car you might buy or a shirt while you're out, the possibilities are endless.

"I know you said you wanted me to pick up that black BBQ grill, but they're out. Is this one ok?"

What's bad about this?

 

[Blackhead]

iChat Roulette

:lol :lol

 

[Patrick Klepek]

The phone is definitely Day 1 for me but this time I think I will pre-order online rather than standing in another fucking line at 6am.

Same. I'm done with that.

 

[Keylime]

accidentally clicking an ad will load a full screen video

great

Would you rather it closed the app entirely and opened a browser?

iAds isn't a bad thing...it's just not exciting for consumers.

Developers conference, remember.

 

[ant_]

HOLY SHIT THEY GOT THE LEAF EXCLUSIVE




....:lol

 

[DjangoReinhardt]

I, for one, will be clicking on tons of video ads in light of AT&T's new data pricing.

 

[Solideliquid]

and here...we go

 

[gcubed]

11:27AM "So now we've got this cool navigator on the bottom. It spins the car. The only way you'll be able to get one of these is through this ad on the iPhone. So if you want to get a Leaf you need to get an iPhone..."

steve jobs getting desperate?

thats not true though.

 

[Zombie James]

Enough with the fucking ads.

 

[panda21]

Carphone Warehouse offers UK iPhone 4 pre-registration, expected in June http://bit.ly/d4CyfZ

has a colour option, black or white :O

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

RELEASE. DATE. AND. CARRIERS. PLEASE.

 

[Synth_floyd]

If iAds means you can use apps for free and watch ads instead of paying for them, then that's great. That means you can try and use apps for free that you're just a little bit interested in, and then pay for the ones you really want and get rid of the ads. Sweet!

 

[Raistlin]

How can anyone claim that the iphone and ipad are not threats to the handheld consoles like the DS and PSP?

For a segment of the market, obviously it is. However there is a host of genres that will simply never play as well due to the lack of dedicated input.

 

[The Elite]

BELEAF

 

[NYR]

iPhone 4 is the perfect name for mainstream consumers and it gets them out of trouble the 3G put them in.

Glad they did it.

Perfect? Sensible, but not perfect. Yeah, it makes sense but I would have sold the fact there is something special about it like they have in the past:

2007 - iPhone - iPhone

2008 - iPhone 3G - iPhone with 3G

2009 - iPhone 3Gs - iPhone with 3G with a speed boost

2010 - iPhone 4 - The 4th iPhone....

 

[Backfoggen]

iChat Roulette

With penis detection, can't have nude people on the iPhone now, can we.

 

[LCfiner]

i’ll just buy 8 hummers

 

[kaching]

Well, this is a presentation for developers. They seem to like making money sometimes.

So Elements developer can make in 5 years what he made in one week of direct sales on iPad?

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Same. I'm done with that.

Provided they do online pre-sales. They haven't in the past. iPad was a bit of a change. Hopefully they learned from it.

 

[Alucrid]

Is any gaffer doing a complete recap of today's events? I've been too lazy too follow everything.

 

[Dragon]

So.

iAds only 60% goes to devs. What a fucking joke Apple. Seriously.

 

[Kunan]

So iAd premieres july 1 which means OS4 is just about here.

 

[JaggedSac]

I, for one, will be clicking on tons of video ads in light of AT&T's new data pricing.

:lol

 

[Pctx]

why do people want video calls? what is this the future?

takes Sexting to the next level son.

 

[DMeisterJ]

So iOS4 before July 1st since that's when iAd goes live.
