Engadget, Gizmodo, BoingBoing, NY Times too mainstream for you? Keep up with WWDC with us at the Poor Mac Blog where we ask the important questions: "Can we afford it?" and "Is it worth buying?"
1:00PM EDT/ 10:00AM PDT And we're off!
1:03 Standing ovation for Steve! We love you Steve!!!!
1:03 Gonna talk Mac OS X, iOS, cloud
1:06 Schiller talking Mac OS X growth. Lion demos to come?
1:09 Scrolling gestures. Look familiar
1:10 A gesture for making an app go full screen
1:13 Wish there were video of the gestures in action...
1:14 Full screen really seems to mean full screen. Apps take up all screen real estate, desktop fades away. Interesting concept.
1:15 Face detection for PhotoBooth, 3-D birds.
1:17 Full screen, Mission Control, seems really novel if you're managing lots of Apps, windows and Spaces.
1:20 Mac App Store, built into Lion, to have in-app purchasing and sandboxing.
1:24 Auto-save for the times you forget to save
1:28 Versions: have different versions of your documents. Great if you're meticulous or writing your thesis.
1:29 Next up: AirDrop.
1:31 AirDrop is essentially easy file sharing between AirDrop Users
1:32 Peer to Peer via WiFi
1:32 Next up: Mail
1:33 Mail: Improved searching, and search rule creation. Conversation view. Cue the "Google did it first" camp
1:36 That makes for 10 previewed features of Lion. Sorry think I fell asleep at the wheel there at the beginning. Apologies.
Full screen, AutoSave, Gesture tracking, Sandboxing, Momentum Scrolling, Versions, Mail, LaunchPad, MissionControl.
1:37 4GB download. Only available on the Mac App Store (sigh) Price: $29.99. Available July.
1:38 Scott Forstall will now talk about iOS 5
1:40 iOS has 44% mobile installed market share. 25 Million iPads sold in 14 months.
1:43 $2.5 Billion paid to devs. Android users still pirating apps.
1:48 Improved, less obtrusive notifications. Notifications also on the lock screen.
1:50 Newsstand.
1:51 Sorry got distracted by a picture of Rachel McAdams. Anyway, you get all your magazine, newspaper subscriptions in one place.
1:52 Twitter is a feature now. I am sold.
1:55 Safari now has Reader on mobile. One of the best features of the desktop version, maybe even more useful on mobile.
1:56 Also, Reading List and tabbed browsing.
1:57 Demo of Reader: 20 pg DSLR review from dpreview.com into a single view. Amazing!
1:58 Reminders.
1:59 Reminders can store lists of things, assign reminders to dates and assign location for reminders. Niceness.
2:00 Reminders sync across devices and even with iCal. Cool beans.
2:01 Camera features. Camera button on lock screen. That's gonna be one busy lock screen.
2:02 Volume-up button as camera button. Useful.
2:03 Pinch to zoom on camera app. Also, on-board photo editing, right from the camera app.
2:04 Mail
2:05 Mail: Rich text formatting. Indentation control.
2:06 Mail: Draggable addresses. Search entire message. Flag message. S/MIME.
2:07 Built in dictionary across iOS
2:08 PC Free
2:08 Lots of people care about that apparently. Personally I actually like cables.
2:09 Software updates are OTA. Hopefully not dictated by carriers.
2:10 Calendars creatable and deletable from iOS, as well as Mailboxes.
2:11 50 million Game Center users in 9 months.
2:13 iMessage to compete with BBM. If only BBM actually mattered.
2:17 iMessage integrates well with other iOS apps like the photo album. Works between iOS devices.
2:20 iOS coming out this Fall. Maybe iPhone release around that time?
2:21 iCloud. What is it? Steve is gonna tell us.
2:22 Wish you could hear Steve right now. He explains the rationale of why we need the products they're selling.
2:23 PCs and Macs just devices. iPhone, iPad, PCs, Macs can send/access information to the cloud.
2:24 "iCloud stores your content, and wirelessly pushes it to all your devices"
2:26 Calendars can be shared. Sounds like MobileMe, hate to say...
2:27 Mail account at me.com. No ads.
2:28 Forgot to mention syncing Contacts to the cloud.
2:29 iCloud will be free.
2:30 Apps purchased on one device, automatically sync to other devices.
2:30 Same goes for iBooks. Sync your books and their bookmarks.
2:31 Cloud based backups. Interesting. Done once a day over Wi-fi. Purchased music, apps, books and device settings, and camera roll
2:33 Documents in the Cloud. iCloud for Keynote stores your presentations and makes them available to all your devices.
2:37 Apps can store documents in iCloud. iCloud pushes docs to user's devices automagically. Documents update on all devices.
2:39 Photo Stream. Take photos on iPad. Camera automatically sends camera roll to iCloud, accessible to all other devices.
2:40 On PC uses Pictures folder. Photo Stream also plays nice with Apple TV.
2:44 Photo taken with iPhone automatically shows up on iPad. Just like that. Nice
2:45 iTunes in the Cloud. If you purchased it, you can download it on another device. Nice.
2:50 iTunes Match $25 a year to load up music you own to iTunes.
