Apple Haters already called WWDC 2010 Keynote “a boring non-event” an hour before it even started.

Surprise, surprise!

Apple Haters Worldwide have already called the WWDC 2010 Keynote as “a boring non-event” an hour before it even started. Based on a telepathically stollen notes from Paul “Microsoft Defender” Thurrott, the only good thing about the Keynote was the announcement of inclusion of Bing into Apple’s closed ecosystem. Thurrott still insists that Microsoft Windows 7 Mobile Phone 7 number Seven already crushed the iPhone. “You still can’t get Microsoft Office and Silverlight and Zune and Steve Ballmer’s hair on the iPhone” says Thurrott. He even added that iPhone OS 4 is an evolutionary upgrade from iPhone OS 3; unlike Microsoft’s Seven Windows 7 Phone Seven Series Seven Ultra The Seventh.

Rob Enderle of The Enderle Me-Myself-and-I group is busy writing his fifth column of the day berating the upcoming WWDC 2010 Keynote. Enderle compares Apple with The Legionaire of Doomsday; similar to Legion of Doom™ but not as trademarked. Enderle believes that WWDC 2010 Keynote is a front for Apple to open a portal to free Ktulu.

Some Android hardcore fan proclaimed that the watever next iPhone be called is lame. That’s because the iPhone 4gettable doesn’t have 10-inch touchscreen and access to free market. The Android hardcore fan points out that no one can get a dedicated porn apps on the iPhone. “What’s the point having something you can touch with porn in it?”

Meanwhile, Jason Chen is sitting at home reading WWDC 2010 Keynote live coverage on other sites. Jason said: “I disassembled the next iPhone prototype, who wants to touch me?”
Eric Cartman calls Jason Chen “lame.”

There a re a lot more rants against Apple and WWDC 2010, unfortunately our telepath is taking a mandatory union break.

Last day to get iPad 3G Unlimited Data Plan.

June 6th, 2010 will be the last day to get Apple iPad 3G Unlimited Data Plan for $30/30 days.

The $30 Unlimited iPad 3G data plan will no longer be available for any iPad 3G purchased after June 6th, 2010. After that you’d only be seeing this:

If you are currently on the $30 Unlimited Data Plan, you can keep it after June 6th, 2010 as long as you keep renewing the Data Plan. If you are currently on the $15 for 250MB, you can get the $30 Unlimited Data Plan if you switch by June 6th, 2010.

Now should I be ordering an iPad 3G today?

Apple WWDC 2010 Live Keynote Coverage Links.

It is that time of the year again when Apple is hosting a Conference to its Developers. Yes, Steve Jobs will be kickstarting WWDC 2010 on Monday June 7th, 2010 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

Here’s an early list of the sites who would bring you the live coverage; it will be updated as more become available:

As usual, there will be sites providing some kind of live coverage of WWDC 2010 Keynote. I wonder if Gizmodo will be there after their failed attempt to extort Steve Jobs for access?

UPDATE: Brian Lam from Gizmodo claims that Apple won’t respond to their requests to attend WWDC. (via Daring Fireball)

Apple did not release iPhone OS 4 beta 5 which was expected on June 1, 2010. It is likely that Apple will show more of the iPhone OS 4 features exclusive to the next iPhone, what ever it called (iPhone 4? iPhone 4G? iPhone A4? iPhone Extreme Championship Editions?).

According to our telepath who probed the mind of an Apple Executive who is definitely Scott Forestall, the next iPhone (hardware) will not be available during the WWDC week. There will be auxiliary announcements related to the next iPhone, including Apple’s “reactions” to AT&T New Wireless Data Plans. Based on the telepathic source, Apple is planning to make the next iPhone available for sale between late June and early July. That’s June 25/26 or July 2/3 weekend.

Stay tuned for more links as they are made available.

Do I need to worry about AT&T new data plan? Apparently not.

I first was a bit worried about the new AT&T data plan, then after I checked my data usage I worried no more. I realized that most of the time I’d be in areas where I always have access to Wi-Fi network. I apparently used a lot less bandwidth on AT&T data network than I thought. Without any access to the Wi-Fi network, I’d easily gone over the newly introduced 2GB data cap in a week or less. I guess I’ll be paying AT&T less for my phone service.

For the past 6 months, my data usage never go over 1GB per month.

If I were to get an iPad 3G, I’d have no problem paying for the lesser data plan thanks to all those Wi-Fi Access Points.
