Apple WWDC today...nobody following?

[photonewb]

new macbooks, new firmware, new apps, new phone!

3.0 Firmware update to be released 6/17

new iPhone 3Gs too. Looks like a longer battery life for those that complained about it.

looks exactly the same though. June 19 release.

I am. Nothing interests me yet.

nothing major other than the sizes of the new iPhone to get me to come in. I'll upgrade, but probably not gonna wait in line for it. I've got a 16GB and love it, and would love a 32GB, but nothing to get me outa bed early.

Yeah, the iPhone 3GS is a big disappointment.

[Crashoran]

Wait...what? I'm going to have to buy a new iPhone so I can get decent battery life that should have been there in the first place?

[BeccaJ]

Amen.

Although... honestly - I use the CRAP out of mine, and get decent battery time. How fast does yours go down?

New iPhone OS in a week and a half (aprox.).

Like the new MacBook/Pro lineup.

Stoked for Snow Leopard. Wish I didn't have to wait until September, but it clearly needs that much QA before release.

I'll wait on the new 3GS until my current 3G dies. Love what the $99 price level should do for the stock.

All in all a good keynote IMHO.

I am happy with my 16G iPhone 3G right now. And I agree with Richard, not getting in line for new stuff.

[photonewb]

apparently Apple Store is updated now for those who are curious. 3Gs is apparently available for pre-order.

I think I'll keep waiting for the HTC TouchPro2. http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro2/overview.html

glad i waited out to buy my wife an iphone (shes been using my old razr). it's just great to hear all you 3g users complaining, now you know how all us first gen users felt a year ago. besides, we are the ones making this all possible with a $500 phone + 2 year contract...what WAS i thinking??

Same here. I do a lot online and seem to get decent life out of mine. It's really no big deal plugging it into the charger every third evening or so to keep the charge up.

It's not that...It's just that I literally feel like I just got this phone (only a couple of months ago) and now it's obsolete by definition of new releases. Phones and camera bodies...what is it with them!?

For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB).

ouch...looks like the cost of this phone will be similar to the cost of the 1st gen. Guess I will be holding out on this for a bit longer. At least until I'm upgrade eligible.
