Having just watched the WWDC keynote by Steve Jobs, I am somewhat shaken by all the things that Apple has brought to us. It’s actually not that much – it’s just two things that were revamped. The new iPhone, dubbed3G iPhone. It is 3G and GPS-powered, it’s thinner and it’ll be available in black and white. Also pimped is .Mac, now rebranded as MobileMe. It’s basically the same thing as before, just with some new syncing features and stuff… I won’t go to much into talking about it as you can just read all about it on the Apple website.
Though there are three things that I want to touch on:
- The iPhone is all cool and looks better than ever. It’s available for just half the original price (200$). Totally rocking for new customers but those who’ve just bought the iPhone recently (like me) it’s a fucking kick in the ass. My iPhone basically has no more reselling value which is kind of sad. Though, I’ve known about the rumors so I guess I have to live with it…
- .Mac was never the coolest service that Apple has made … it basically sucked. With the new features that MobileMe offers, it does become quite interesting and offers things that are worth the money. Let’s see how it’ll go in the future.
- As MobileMe replaces .Mac, the question of the iDisk and the connection with iMap/iTweak remains in question. I think not much will change except for URLs but I’ll release an update for both when MobileMe becomes available.
