Being currently at the other side where WWDC was held, I tried to stay awake for the infamous keynote that Steve himself gave. Well, I tried, but to no avail. My eyes failed me, and shut me out (I think I can say, "literally" here).
For those of you who haven't seen the WWDC keynote live, Apple has posted the Keynote address video. Out of the many things that were talked about in this almost 2 hour keynote were:
1. the new iPhone 4 - Features, Availability and Pricing
All I can say is "WOW!". You have to see for yourself.
2. iBooks Updates.
iBooks will be available in the iPhone. And, it will have ability to read PDF files. Hmmm... which will probably render the applications that I bought that does this - useless. Wait... does this also mean that they will be removed from the App Store?
3. Facetime
iPhone4 features Video calling dubbed as Facetime. For now, it enables iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 video calling through Wifi only - 3G might be supported soon. As long as you are connected through a wifi network, one will be able to use Facetime. No setup required. It is actually pretty cool. I could certainly use this one.
4. iMovie for the iPhone
This is just great - Video editing right at your finger tips, anytime, and anywhere. And for a reasonable price as well - $4.99. I bet it will bring waves of changes especially to video bloggers.
Those are just some of the highlights on that keynote. WWDC is still going on. I, for one, is just waiting for the updates to pour in.
One last thing: According to ceoSteveJobs at Twitter. The video was taken using the iPhone 4. cool huh?
