And it’s over!  No new hardware, just the information that Apple provided in their press release a week ago…

A full overview of what was released will be coming soon!

iOS 5 will available today… for developers, and all users this fall

1 Billion tweets per week (I’m about 6 of those).

Brand new version of the Mail app. Looks very nice.

The doors are open, and people are in the theater!

My guesses for the event are:

1. iOS 5, with a revamped notification system, new lockscreen, and a variety  of other interesting features.

2. iCloud, who knows what this does.

3. Mac OS Lion… of course.

4. Possibly new hardware (iPhone, MacBook Air, iPods).

5. iWork ’11/’12!

23.39

Waiting for Apple’s event to start… only 10 more hours! What do y’all think will happen? Leave a comment below!


As almost all of you know, there is going to be a keynote event tomorrow for… (drumroll please)… Apple. As already announced in their press-release (about a week ago), they’re scheduled to feature software, more specifically: iCloud, Mac OS Lion, and iOS 5. I will be liveblogging the event on this page, so bookmark it, and come on over at 10AM PST. There will snacks (metaphorically of course)!
