I wonder if John Gruber would spend his Daring Fireball money to fly out to San Francisco for this event?

It would be another big surprise if Apple is streaming the event live on Apple.com.

Live Coverage Links of Verizon 1-11-11 Special Event.

Here we go again, waiting for the one who stole CES’ thunder. Verizon is having a special event in New York this Tuesday January 11th, 2011. The event starts at 11:00 AM New York Time. The first thing came to mind is iPhone. The media heavyweights have been buzzing about iPhone coming to Verizon for the past few months. The rumors flying of the self. John Gruber, the unofficial Apple leak channel, mentioned the existence of CDMA iPhone codenamed N92. A lot of Mac Journalists were invited to the event. Gizmodo did not get the event. Ryan Block is silent about it. So, it would come as no surprise if all of this are true.

SPOILER
Apple hired a few former Verizon’s employees back in 2009 who are now working at their iPhone division. They have been keeping quiet about it for so long. They also said “No Comment” on the fabled White iPhone 4.
END OF SPOILER

As usual, there will be numbers of sites providing live coverage. You can always use search for them or find it here and let me do the work for you. More links will be added as they become available.

Alphabetically ordered:

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.

“Thanks to the spoilers, I hate the soon to be released MacBook Pro already.”

Apple has yet to officially reveal the new notebook line on “The spotlights turns to notebooks” event, but the leaks and spoilers are ruining everything I’d ever hope for. Well, at least for the design of the MacBook Pro. The Mac news/rumors sites seems to think that John Gruber has already nailed it.

According to Gruber there’s only one display for the MacBook and MacBook Pro from now on. That display is a shiny and glaring one. Yeah, apparently no more matte-finish display. On the other hand, we get to use the screen as an emergency mirror now.

Personally, I am not really liking the black keyboard on a silver aluminum casing. But that’s not really a huge issue. The biggest issue for me right now would be the rumored pricing. I have been paying a lot for PowerBook G4’s and MacBook Pro (yeah, I only bought one Macbook Pro from January 2006) and hoping at least that Apple would reduce the price. I still remember when Apple introduced Aluminum PowerBook G4 at lower prices.

One thing that has not really been discussed in the leaks/spoliers/rumors so far is the CPU of the MacBook Pro. I have been hearing that somehow Apple would utilize Intel’s mobile Quad-Core CPU (here and here) into the MacBook Pro. The real question is “when?”

I know that I am complaining about products that have not been officially announced yet. It is only two hours away from this posting.

In spite of all the bitching and complaining based on the leaks and rumors, there are a few things that I am looking forward to find out. As I’ve been saying before, according to a super stealthy secret source the new MacBook Pro line would have an easily accessible hard-drive bay. That would be a huge advantage for the consumer. All you would have to do is removing the battery and a few screws. No more cracking open the casing by removing 14 screws just to get to the hard-drive bay. A few more screws to actually replace the hard-drive. I have done so many hard-drive upgrades on MacBook Pros, my best record is about 15 minutes to actually open the case, take out the hard-drive, install the new hard-drive, and putting it back together.

Apparently I am rambling too much for now. We’ll see in exactly two hours from this post if I’m going to buy a new MacBook Pro today. The sad thing is that I am still on the fence. Should I wait for the Quad-Core MacBook Pro to arrive?

Disclaimer, this is a poor attempt at sarcasm and irony.

I have compiled an extensive list of sites that would be covering the event live on this post. So, click this link. Yes, this link. CLICK.
