Stuck for something to do? You might want to take a look at last year's keynote or John Gruber's predictions for what we'll see at this event.

I always feel sorry for any other developers announcing new products/applications today. They get completely overshadowed (but should know better...)
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 2:28:23 PM
If you're one of our readers who's convinced that Jobs will be presenting today, get on the phone and buy some AAPL stock. It'll rocket if he shows up.

The Apple Blog have some great photos up from the line forming outside the conference centre.

MacWorld have an interesting article on what we know (and what we're hoping) about Snow Leopard.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 3:17:13 PM
Seems like the line is very long at Moscone, but media are starting to be let into the venue.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 3:30:48 PM
Around 1 hour 15 minutes to go. The banners are certainly heralding the speed improvements in Snow Leopard...

As you'd expect, the Apple Store is down. New products on their way..!
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 3:54:14 PM
We'll be giving away a free copy of Espresso at some point during the keynote. Details to follow soon :-)

Having the Exchange functionality built in is now going to be a major factor in pushing the mac into more small businesses. The chance for no more malware causing grief will be such a great selling point now!
by Gordon Keenan at 6/8/2009 4:05:05 PM
Agreed
by Chris Rowe at 6/8/2009 4:06:34 PM
I'm so excited about this! Really want to see Snow Leopard.
by iTomath at 6/8/2009 4:14:27 PM
MacRumors has posted that one banner highlighting Snow Leopard has an iCal icon w/ Jun 19 as the date, and a revamped QuickTime icon. Interesting...
by Zach LeBar at 6/8/2009 4:14:34 PM
Here's a shot of the new QuickTime logo...
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:15:41 PM
Will Snow Leopard be an upgrade for free or at a cost? I bought my imac 2 weeks ago, so I wonder what my position will be if its not freebie!
by Gordon Keenan at 6/8/2009 4:16:07 PM
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:16:38 PM
With a new version of Quicktime, we could see some major speed enhancements of iTunes for both Mac and Windows; that'd be nice.

If not because of WWDC, I have bought a MacBook yesterday! :)
by Mohd Rafie at 6/8/2009 4:19:40 PM
Not sure what the significance of the iCal date could be... Maybe a subtle hint that Snow Leopard is coming on the 19th June? That would be earlier than widely expected.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:20:56 PM
Just gotta love the anticipation that Apple generates with their Keynote speeches. Such passion for the brand. Wonder what Snow Leopard has in store for us.
by Antony at 6/8/2009 4:24:55 PM
To those asking, I wouldn't expect Snow Leopard to be a free upgrade (though I could be wrong). I'm confident that the price will be announced during the keynote.

Those are some orange t-shirts!
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:29:53 PM
June 19th is African American Emancipation day. Maybe an Obama reference?
by Nick at 6/8/2009 4:30:01 PM
I thought that there would be an upgrade version for Leopard users. Hoping for something around $30-$50.
by Quintin Carlson at 6/8/2009 4:36:34 PM
Several people have asked whether iPhone OS 3.0 will be released at exactly 10am. That's unlikely, though I expect it will be available a few hours after the end of the keynote.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:37:46 PM
How long is the keynote?
by Anonymous at 6/8/2009 4:38:38 PM
The keynote is likely to last between 60 and 90 minutes, going on past events!
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:39:20 PM
I just can't wait for it to begin!
by D3V4 at 6/8/2009 4:40:42 PM
They're starting to let press in now, and the presentation will be kicking off in just under 20 minutes.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:41:54 PM
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:43:53 PM
Want to see iPhone OS 3.0 in action! For real!
by Eugenio Grigolon at 6/8/2009 4:45:13 PM
Yep. Can't wait to hit the upgrade button!
by dmondark at 6/8/2009 4:48:09 PM
Ten minutes to go and counting.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:49:02 PM
Here's hoping to see the new marble interface, apple is said to be working on in snow leopard.
by Marcus at 6/8/2009 4:50:13 PM
Guess the release new iPhone hardware is pretty much inevitable. I doubt that it would look any different then the current design. But it's Apple! So you never know.
by dmondark at 6/8/2009 4:53:51 PM
Just under 500 of you have tuned in so far. Thanks for reading AppStorm, and I hope you'll enjoy our coverage!
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:56:29 PM
People have been asked to silence their phones... Just a few minutes to go till they get started.
by macappstorm at 6/8/2009 4:58:33 PM
I love AppStorm's live-updating in the box without the need for refreshes--there's the rub!
