WWDC 2008 Keynote: New iPhone

"iPhone 3G" and less expensive. S.P.J: "We're gonna take it to the next level."
Black Plastic, same display. Flush headphone Jack (about time). Better audio.

Update: webkit in Iphone 3G is 36% faster than other 3G phones' browsers.
Update: GPS!!
UPdate: Available in 70 countries. Put any miles on the Gulfstream lately?
Update: 8Gig Sells for $199. Um. Boom?!
Update: Rolls out July 11. Take a week off.

WWDC 2008 Keynote: Mobileme == me.com

New Service "Exchange for the rest of us." Push email, contacts, calendars "in the cloud." Like .mac with Leopard server distributed voodoo ++ push. Works with iPhone, iCal, Outlook, and has a web client. Also includes iDisk tech (sort of a finder for the web). Apple is heading for the cloud. For real this time. So it appears. Update: replaces .mac

WWDC 2008 Keynote: Background processes in iPhone... sort of.

Nice. Push Notification Service. Your third party server can send to Apple's push server, which keeps a persistent connection to your phone: badges (say... how many messages are waiting in application), Alert sounds, Custom textual alerts. Not a bad solution.
