[Official] Apple WWDC 2011 Keynote

[instant.human]

I just wanna know how this iMessage thing is going to work.

Are you going to get usernames or something like that?

Since it's between Apple-Devices only, I'd say Apple-ID. Like FaceTime.

Apple takes so long to add these videos to their site. Does anyone know where you can download or watch the keynotes after they're finished?

The video has been online for hours now. Here: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/11piubpwiqubf06/event/

Also, someone posted it in this threat.

The only thing bugging me is that it's not yet available via their podcast. I was hoping to be able to watch it on a long train ride tomorrow.

lol...on the apple site ironically - http://www.apple.com/

It's been up for several hours

Cool. iOS 5 will use the LED flash on the iPhone as a message/phone/push notifier.

Subscribe to the AppleKeynotes podcast, it has all the major keynotes going back to Macworld 2007. (I really wish they'd make some of the older ones available, too.)

But, as noted above, I guess this current keynote isn't on the channel yet.

There is also a shorter video just about iOS 5 on Apple's site.

Kind of pointless if you have your iPhone sitting on its back or otherwise have the back facing away from you.

yup, works on BB cause of where the pulsating light is on the top of the phone.

I haven't watched the keynote but did they really said that GameCenter is now bigger than Xbox Live? :laugh:

In the iOS 5 video, they said that iDevices are now "the most popular form of gaming" or something, which is probably true if you base it solely on devices sold, which is probably what they're going by.

it is what they are going by... why not compare it to another free gaming service like PSN? im sure their are a ton of more PSN people out there cause PSN is free...

They must have a dedicated LED indicator on the front of the iPhone 5. It's not much use having the indicator on the back and using the full flash, it would drain battery and you can only have one colour. BBs indicators are different colours, and with BeBuzz you can choose custom ones - I have red for texts/BBM, blue for Facebook, turquoise for Twitter, green for WhatsApp, etc. It's low power too so it can flash all day long with no problems.

I've never, ever used this meme before and I swore I never would but ... QFT.

These are the times when I am so glad I blew a whole wad of cash on my MacBook Pro - proper excited!! :laugh:

Is the genius for apps new or have I been missing something??

Introduced with iOS 3 in 2009 mate :)

Yeah, I don't get that one either. It works brilliantly on my HTC Legend because it has a green LED on the front. :/

Ha Ha....who know's why I've never noticed that before!!

iTunes 10.5 Beta is out there 'in the wild.'

Can't see anything new, other than options for auto downloading Apps and Books bought on other devices.

While I don't care about the interface not supporting Dutch, I do care about things like spelling and auto-correction since I don't speak English to my friends and family. Beyond that most people around here have set their phones to Dutch entirely not English, simply because the latter isn't their native language. Microsoft really screwed up in this area, especially because their reputation wasn't that good to begin with due to Windows Mobile 6.x.

[. . .]

I completely agree with you there. Language support for more countries within the operating system and when sending messages should have been a priority of Microsoft's.

You won't see anything truly new until iTunes 11 is released. These iTunes X.x updates are usually just released to bring support for new hardware, major iOS updates and services. X.x.x updates are bug fixes and whatnot.

[Quillz]

Is there any reason why I can't add iOS access to my ADC account? I checked the box to sign up for $99/year, and it says my request can't be processed. Would I have been denied for some reason, or could it just be the servers are being hit right now?

What exactly is supposed to be the difference between 10.5 beta and the 10.3 release that is supposed to be showing up sometime today? Those features, AFAIK, are supposed to be in 10.3 as well (since they have already gone live on iOS devices).

10.5 is required to use the IOS5 betas. Apart from that I can't see a damn thing different. Guess I should read the release notes? :)

iOS 5 support.

Yup that is the only real change of note. Oh, and a couple of styling changes, to match Lion. Like the volume slider.
