12.05: | Our live coverage of the WWDC 2011 keynote has concluded. Thanks for tuning in. | -Bobby |
12.04: | Finally, thanks to Trey for manning the front page, our mods, and thanks to you, our viewers! | -Bobby |
12.01: | Also thanks to Jonathan for manning @touchfans for this event | -Bobby |
12.00: | A round of applause for Jawcl and the rest of the crew in hosting the liveblog. Thanks to Blake, Chicken, and the others who contributed. Oh, and make sure to check us out: | -Bobby |
12.00: | I’m glad there’s no new hardware, my wallet feels happier. | -Chicken |
11.59: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.59: | And goodbye until next year, t’was a great keynote. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.59: | We can put rumors of any new device announcements to a rest for now. | -Bobby |
11.59: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.59: | That’s it folks. Great. | -Chicken |
11.59: | “So I hope you like the 3 things we’ve unveiled this morning. We have a great week ahead for you.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.58: | “Now if you don’t think we’re serious about this, you’re wrong. This is our third data center that we just completed. This is what it looks like. It’s rather large. It’s as eco friendly as you can make a data center. Just to give you a feel for it’s size, see the dots on the roof? Those are people. And it’s full of stuff. Full of expensive stuff. And we’re ready for our customers to start using iCloud.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.58: | Voila.
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.57: | “We scan and match, the other guys you have to upload the whole collection. The other guys only have web apps. For 5000 songs, Amazon is 50. Even up to 20,000 songs, we’re one flat price.” 24.99 for everything. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.57: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.56: | “In additions, iTunes Match will upgrade the songs to 256k AAC DRM free. And it costs just 24.99 per year. So if you’ve got a bunch of music that you didn’t get from iTunes, you can get it in the cloud. Now if you look at some competitors, you’ll be surprised.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.56: | Benefits? No, you can get FLAC quality if you just buy the CD. And that price is hurting my wallet. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.56: | Rather 24.99 dollars | -Chicken |
11.55: | £24.99 a year? I’d rather not. | -Chicken |
11.55: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.55: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.55: | “We have 18m songs in the music store. Our software will scan what you have, the stuff you’ve ripped, and figure out if there’s a match. If you have to upload your whole library, that could take weeks. If we’re scanning and matching, we don’t have to upload them. They’re in the cloud.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.54: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.54: | “One, you can sync your devices over Wi-Fi or cable, and then you can rely on iCloud. Or, if it’s just a few songs you love, you can buy them on iTunes. But we’re offering a third way, and we call it iTunes Match.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.54: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.53: | “It pertains to iTunes in the cloud. As you recall, it’s just for the music you purchased in the iTunes store. But you may have some that you ripped yourself. And there’s three ways you can deal with that.”
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.53: | A small thing? Is that even possible? | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.53: | “And also today, the iTunes in the cloud will run on iOS 4.3, as a beta.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.53: | ONE. MORE. THING. | -Chicken |
11.53: | iOS 4.3.4 I assume… | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.52: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.52: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.52: | Available today. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.52: | “It’ll be turned on by default. We’re also giving everyone 5GB for storage of mail — and apps and books don’t count. And we’re not counting Photo Stream.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.52: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.51: | That’s understandable, but weird. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.51: | Umm, what? ”When you upgrade a phone or buy a new one, you get it.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.51: | “So how do you get it?” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.51: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.50: | “We want every user to take advantage of these, and we know if we make it free, they will. We’re very excited about it.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.50: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.50: | The catch: with an Apple product, of course. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.50: | “These apps are iCloud… and they are all free.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.50: | 256k AAC quality music. Steve is back on stage. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.50: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.49: | What in the world, look at that new interface… | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.49: | Do not buy it. Do not. No, please don’t. | -Chicken |
11.48: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.48: | “Now it’s downloading. Let’s go and listen to it.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.47: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.47: | “So I’m on my iPhone and I want to listen to a song I’ve previously purchased in iTunes. Here’s all the purchases I’ve ever done on iTunes.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.47: | And now a demo of iTunes in the cloud. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.47: | “So in the future, it will push it to all of my devices.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.47: | “This is the first time you’ve seen this in the music industry. Multiple downloads to different devices for no charge.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.47: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.46: | Notice the new buttons showing up again. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.46: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.46: | Yeah I can understand that, maybe so. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.46: | Steve really likes Bob Dylan… | -Bobby |
11.45: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.45: | That’s not the point of the service, it’s to get them all synced together on all devices. Not to give you a link to let people look at them. They’re designed to do 2 completely different things. | -Chicken |
11.45: | “For the songs you’ve already bought, we’ve added a purchased button.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.45: | “You know, it’s the same old story. I buy something on my iPhone, and it’s not on my other devices. I grab my iPod and it ain’t there.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.45: | Or maybe, iTunes is the cloud? | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.45: | “Last, but not least. iTunes in the cloud.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.45: | True, but some people would like to keep them there like on Flickr. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.44: | They get uploaded to the cloud and stay there for 30 days your devices connect and download them to themselves. There’s no problem with that as far as I see. | -Chicken |
11.44: | “And that’s Photo Stream.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.44: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.44: | Still, its too bad that you can only keep them on there for 30 days. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.43: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.43: | -Bobby |
11.43: | I think the 30 days refers to the fact that they keep your latest photos for 30 days… | -Bobby |
11.42: | “Apple have single handedly murdered a large portion of their developer base today.” Very true. | -Chicken |
11.42: | On to a demo, no word on that 30 day photo thing…
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.42: | Hah, a trial period for photos. Here comes the bad news. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.42: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.41: | “So one of the problems we faced was that photos are large, they consume lots of space. So we came up with a great scheme. We’re going to store the last 1000 photos on your device. On your Mac or PC, we’ll store all of them. And on the server, we’ll store them for 30 days.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.41: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.40: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.40: | “On the Mac we built it right into iPhoto. And on a PC they don’t have a photo app, so we use the pictures folder. And we built it in to Apple TV. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.39: | “Photos that I take, or photos that I import. And we’ve built this right into the apps so there’s nothing new to learn.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.39: | Wireless sync to mac of photos? Great! I’ve wanted this for a while. Bye bye image capture. | -Chicken |
11.39: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.39: | PC and Mac compatible! | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.38: | “This next one is maybe my favorite one. And it’s called Photo Stream. And it’s going to bring the cloud to photos. How many times have we taken photos on our iPhone and wanted to share them on the iPad. Wouldn’t it be great if they were already there?” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.38: | “We think this is going to be pretty big.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.38: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.37: | “It’s easy to tie your apps into iCloud’s storage system.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.37: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.37: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.37: | iCloud storage API’s, nice! | -Chicken |
11.37: | “We’ve been working for 10 years to get rid of the file system. When you try and teach someone to use a Mac, everything is fine, until you show them the file system. On iOS, you don’t have to think about it. But how do you move those documents around? Now you can.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.36: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.35: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.35: | Welcome back to the stage, Steve. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.35: | “iCloud is updating those documents, and they’re pushing down to my other devices. And that’s how iWork works with iCloud.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.35: | As This is my next notes, there is no real “cloud” here because you still need an application to view the documents. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.35: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.34: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.33: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.33: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.33: | Demo again. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.32: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.32: | “If I create a Pages document, it uploads and stores that in the cloud. Then it pushes it to all the devices I have pages on.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.32: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.32: | Documents in the cloud, iDisk? | -Chicken |
11.32: | “Those are three other apps that come with iCloud… but we couldn’t stop there.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.31: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.31: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.31: | This doesn’t sound like Apple. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.31: | And this is free? No way… | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.31: | “We’ve added wireless backup to the cloud. Once daily, we’re gonna back up a lot of your important content to the cloud. If you ever get a new phone, everything will be loaded onto that phone automatically.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.30: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.30: | Wireless backups to the cloud. | -Chicken |
11.30: | “And now backup.” I can’t wait. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.30: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.30: | “If you’re reading it on one device, you bookmark a page, and it’s pushed to all of your devices. It all just works.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.30: | “You’ve got your purchase history, you want it on your iPhone, it pushes it down. When you buy a new iBook, it downloads to all of your devices.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.29: |  | -Blake |
11.29: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.29: | “Now what about for devices you buy in the future. The cloud downloads it to all of your devices.” “iBooks, same thing.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.29: | “You just push the buttons and download from the cloud. There’s no extra charge.” Just like Amazon Cloud Drive. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.29: | -Bobby |
11.29: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.28: | “The first is of course, the App Store.” “You can buy them on your devices. Maybe the app you want isn’t on the device you’ve got with you. You can now see your purchase history on all devices.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.28: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.28: | We love you Apple. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.28: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.27: | Free iCloud, Apple thank you. So very much. | -Chicken |
11.27: | Wait, what did he just say? | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.27: | “No ads” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.27: | “And then we have mail. Mail is in the best shape of all. We give you a mail account at me.com, and you inbox and folders are kept up to date on all your devices. So that’s mail.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.27: | Calendar sharing looks very useful. | -Coleman Stavish |
11.26: | “So it stores your calendars in the cloud and changes are pushed to your devices.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.26: | “We’ve also added calendar sharing. So if I’m sharing calendars with my wife, and I add a new calendar for a parent teacher conference, it’s automatically pushed to the cloud and to my wife’s iPhone.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.26: | Hopefully this is available for everyone today and not in the fall. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.25: | “So when I make a new contact on my iPhone, it’s automatically brought up to the cloud, and then pushed down to my devices to sync, and then it’s updated on all my devices. And if I change it, it’s updated on all devices.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.25: | “Now the three core apps in MobileMe were contacts, calendar, and mail.” “We’ve thrown them away and written them from the ground up to be iCloud apps.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.25: | (not at all) | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.24: | “It wasn’t our finest hour. But we learned a lot.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.24: | “Now, you might ask, why should I believe them? They’re the ones that brought me MobileMe.”
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.24: | It’s amazing when a company can make fun of itself. | -Chicken |
11.24: | Classic.
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.24: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.24: | “Some people think the cloud is just a hard disk in the sky. You transfer back and forth. We think it’s way more than that. We call it iCloud. It stores your content in the cloud, and automatically pushes it to your devices.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.23: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.23: | They said the same thing about push mail, contacts, and calenders with MobileMe…. I hope they do this right. | -Blake |
11.23: | I already want this, not knowing what it is for sure. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.23: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.23: | “So now, if I get something on my iPhone, it’s sent to the cloud immediately, and they’re pushed down to my devices automatically. And now everything is in sync without having to think about it. I don’t have to be near my Mac or PC.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.23: | The Mac was the galaxy, now its just another planet under a cloud. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.23: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.22: | “We’ve got a solution for this problem. We’re going to demote the PC and the mac to just be a device. We’re going to move your hub, the center of your digital life, into the cloud.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.22: | “Why? Because all your devices have photos, have video, have music. If I buy something on my phone, I have to sync it to get a song I bought. Then I have to sync that to other devices, and if I have photos, it’s the same thing… and keeping these devices in sync is driving us crazy!” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.22: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.22: | The suspense, it’s killing me. | -Chicken |
11.21: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.21: | “I get to talk about iCloud. We’ve been working on this for some time. About 10 years ago, we had one of our most important insights. We thought the PC would be the hub for your digital life. Where you put your photos, your video, your music.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.21: | And now, the best of the day’s announcements is coming…
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.20: | Steve is back!
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.20: | “Okay, you liking everything so far? Well I’ll try not to blow it.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.20: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.20: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.20: | Supports iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad and iPad 2, 3rd and 4th generation iPod touch. | -Blake |
11.19: | The one month my developer license expires without me knowing it has to be this month. Have to wait about 10 days until I can renew it. Dangit. | -Chicken |
11.19: | “So you’re asking yourself, when are you getting it? Dev seed to you today.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.19: |  | -Blake |
11.19: | “New dev tools too, even Core Image.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.18: | “And new multitasking gestures, so you can flick between apps.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.18: | A new iPad music app too? I want this stuff now. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.18: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.18: | Wi-Fi sync. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.18: | More shamelessness: | -Bobby |
11.18: | Let’s go iCloud. Apple has more than impressed me already. | -Blake |
11.18: | Now onto iCloud! | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.17: | “So that’s iOS… and these are just 10 of more than 200 new user features.” No widgets, sorry. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.17: | The crowd must be going wild. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.17: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.17: | “We’re building this on the push notification system we’ve built.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.16: | iMessage is a bad name though. I mean really?
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.16: | Cell carriers are gonna hate this :/ | -Bobby |
11.16: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.16: | Wow, people are going to love this. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.16: |  | -Blake |
11.16: | “You see I can see that he’s typing.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.15: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.15: | “So the message comes in while he’s playing a game, and a message comes in… but at any time he can get right back to that message.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.15: | The message bubble is a bit changed actually. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.15: | The message-bubble UI is getting a bit old… | -Coleman Stavish |
11.15: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.14: | And another demo. Anybody having fun yet? | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.14: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.14: | “We’ve added delivery receipts, and optional read receipts. Typing notifications, so you can see if someone is typing. Pushed to all of your devices, so you can pick up where you left off.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.14: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.13: | “You can send text, photos, videos, contacts…” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.13: | Hello Bluetooth messaging, am I right? | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.13: | Goodbye text plan (or paying 0.20 per text)! | -Bobby |
11.13: | Look out iPhone, I’m coming back. Android doesn’t stand a chance now. | -Blake |
11.13: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.13: | “Our customers have been asking us for a new messaging solution. We’re launching a service that works for all iOS 5 customers. We call it iMessage. It supports iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.13: | It’s like BBM but cool and for iOS. | -Chicken |
11.13: | He would… ”Now I believe we have the best messaging client on a phone.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.12: |  | -Blake |
11.12: | “Next: is iMessage.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.12: | Is this Apple’s trojan horse into the social network market? | -Bobby |
11.12: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.12: |  | -Blake |
11.12: |  | -Blake |
11.11: | “To put that in perspective, Xbox Live has been around for 8 years, and they have 30m users. We’re making it even better in iOS 5. We’re adding photos. You can compare yourself against your friends. You can see friends of friends. You’ll get recommended friends. And we’ve added game recommendations.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.11: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.11: | It only takes one game to set up GameCenter, so why not? | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.11: | iOS.. more gamers than Xbox Live. Who said Apple don’t do gaming? | -Chicken |
11.11: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.10: | “We have 50m Game Center users.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.10: | Now on to Game Center. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.10: | “We said, why do people go back to a computer? Calendars, people create or delete them. You can do that now. Photo editing, you can do it on the devices. Even mail — you can create folders. So if you want to cut the cord, you can.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.10: | Collective sigh of relief at AT&Ts network ops center… | -Bobby |
11.10: | Bobby: You’re gonna have to be able to use PC in case you need to restore or something.. Right? | -Blake |
11.10: | “So you no longer need to plugin to update your software. And they’re now Delta updates. Instead of downloading the whole OS, you only download what’s changed.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.10: | Nobody wants to download a 600 MB file over and over. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: | Thank goodness for that. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: | Also Delta updates, you just download what’s changed. | -Chicken |
11.09: | Could really change things for jailbreakers | -Bobby |
11.09: | That looks like a profile installer. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: | I wonder if OTA updates will be forced… | -Bobby |
11.09: | “Software updates are now over the air.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: | But Apple and better. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.09: | Finally its like an Android phone. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.08: | OTA Software Updates! YES! | -Chicken |
11.08: |  | -Blake |
11.08: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.08: | “We’re living in the Post PC world… people are saying they want these devices as their only way to get online, we’re selling to houses that don’t have computers.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.08: | Innnnnntense! | -Blake |
11.08: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.07: | I’m referring to the PC-free part. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.07: | Its about time, I’ve been waiting for that ever since I bought iOS devices. The iPad always needed it. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.07: |  | -Blake |
11.07: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.07: | Thumb keyboard is fantastic for iPad users! | -Bobby |
11.07: | The new thumb-keyboard will make typing bearable! | -Coleman Stavish |
11.07: | “And that’s mail.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.07: |  | -Blake |
11.06: | Wow…
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.06: | “There’s one more feature I want to show you. It has to do with the keyboard. We revolutionized the way people would type. We have a new variant of the keyboard for people who type with their thumbs…” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.06: | I love that feature. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.06: | Looks like Apple is aggresively trying to go after what little remains of Blackberry’s market share by catering to enterprises. | -Bobby |
11.06: |  | -Blake |
11.06: |  | -Blake |
11.05: | Apple has added a dictionary to all of iOS. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.05: | Demo time. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.05: | “And we continue to add more support for enterprise customers. We’ve added support for S/MIME. If you have someone else’s certificate, you see that the message will be encrypted.” | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.05: | This is slick. | -Jacob Penderworth |
11.05: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.04: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.04: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.04: |
| -Jacob Penderworth |
11.04: |

10.54: |
