WWDC '08

[AJerman]

I usually enjoy WWDC, but this will even be my first as a Mac owner. Hopefully we will get to see 10.6 as is rumored.

Not sure if the iPhone can win me over still though, but I love gadgets, so it'll be interesting to see. I use my phone for too much and the iPhone just isn't powerful enough for me yet. Hopefully that will change.

Apple must love the sheer amount of hype about their products.. they don't have to do ANYTHING and the internet whips itself up into an absolute furore about rumoured products.

[Rudy]

They would still sell hardware IMO if they did this. Plus, if they did a partnership with an OEM they could make money off that hardware (Dell, I'm sure, would jump at a chance to sell OS X).

Dell already said they would love to sell computers with OSX..... but I still don't think Apple will do that

looks like a Developers System of some type. with all SDK's etc. lol

[Dane]

First time I've seen it. Mac Fusion... what is it?! A smaller MacMini?

Hmm I dont know either. It looks like a smaller Macmini...If it is hopefully its cheaper and I shall go buy it right away since i dont have enough for an iMac or macbook lol.

I doubt it is a tri-boot system? ?

If OSX goes platform independent, my iMac is going on eBay tomorrow.

Doesn't make much sense though. You can already run OS X, Windows, and Linux on EVERY Intel Mac, and the SDKs and such are free. Then again, I wouldn't put it past Apple to manage to make you think you needed something that you already have, haha.

I wouldn't do that, I'd keep it as so you have something left of Apple. ;) That would be the signs that things aren't going to keep going well for the company.

well, osx it's on the same PC platform as any other pc. it's the EFI thing that's tricky.

if OSX goes 'PC-able', I'm buying three copies.

Forgot to post link/source,

http://www.tuaw.com/2008/06/08/rumor-mac-f...-developer-mac/

On WWDC Eve, we at TUAW are hard at work keeping an eye out for the unknown and unexpected. We just received a tip showing what appears to be the Mac Nano computer that we've all wanted -- and it looks to be aimed towards the developer crowd.

The pictures appear to show a Mac geared towards developers on Windows and Linux systems. "Leave Windows behind. Build your Apps for OS X" states the title. While we are extremely cautious about rumors like these right before WWDC, we did have a rumor that a "new Mac" or at least an updated Mac might be released.

didn't you just get that iMac though?

.......if thats the case i'll give you 400$ for it!

:shiftyninja:

Macfusion could be like those Sony PS3, Xbox etc.. developer kits....special systems for developing games to run on PS3...so this could be an all-in-one kit to help devs design new software for Macs

after all it is a Developer Conference. lol I'm speculating

[Hurmoth]

I would love to see them open OS X up, but even if they did, my iMac is staying on my desk. Then I will be building a new gaming machine where I will dual boot OS X 10.6 and Windows Vista :yes:

[Smethead]

Haha, wouldn't a flash webcam tool on the forum be great? Then I could see al people's dissapointments when most of the rumours are shown to be false :D

First time I've seen it. Mac Fusion... what is it?! A smaller MacMini?

No, it's a fake :p

[Julius Caro]

Maybe the mac fusion could be a slimmed down OSX, more like an SDK kind of thing, on an external hard drive, intended to be booted from. It could also be an uber cheap mac, but that would require developers to change their computer... while a bootable os x could be better.

who knows.

I like fakes :D

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

didn't you just get that iMac though?

Yeah - as it was the best Mac I could afford. If I could run OSX on a commodity piece of hardware, I would do so in a heartbeat.

[KeR]

Almost time, getting a bit excited...I really want a 3G iPhone.

[Aperture]

If there are better UK deals on the iPhone, I might snatch one up towards the end of the year.

lol dude it's 1 hour and 30 minutes before start.

I think it kicks off at 10 am PDT.

[Stone Gaijin]

bah Ker, I don't 3G sux around here, and I'm wifi 99% of the time anyway

on a side note Congrats on 6300 ;)

[Arkanius]

I bet that Mac Fusion is real

And that all the hype will be for naught

I would really love if they opened the OS X

[hjf288]

Even if it is announced today... The 3G Iphone that is... I dread to think how long we will have to wait to get it in the UK... :/ or the price

If its reasonable Ill sign up a contract straight away even though my current one doesnt expire till April 2009

[peacemf]

i hope they upgrade the camera, thats the only thing stopping me from switching from n82........yeah i said it!!!

[CY:G]

Am i the only one that wants them to fix the 3.5mm audio port for the headphones, i hate having to use an adapter....
