Apple - Welcome to 2007

We are about 20 minutes from the start of MacWorld and Steve Job’s keynote address and hopefully, many new innovative products from Apple. I will do my best to update this blog as the news streams out of the Moscone center.

[Update 10:51AM] TUAW has posted a story about that Cingular may have spilled the beans on the “iPhone” last night during a TV commercial. If this is indeed the “iPhone”, look for it to be serviced by AT&T and not under the Cingular name.

[Update 11:13AM] AAPL Stock up about 2% on much anticipation.

[Update 11:17AM] Apple Stores are making a hug difference. Nearly half of Macs are sold to switchers!

[Update 11:24AM] Over 2 Billion songs sold through iTunes Store. Will DRM die with these kind of numbers? Apple is the 4th largest music retailer bypassing Amazon.com

[Update 11:24AM] 1.3 Million Disney movies sold in 4 months, Paramount joins today with 250 titles.

[Update 11:41AM] Apple TV is the previously announced iTV. Order today, $299. Ships in February.

[Update 11:44AM] Here they come, 3 Revolutionary products: Widescreen iPod + Mobile Phone +internet communicator = iPhone

[Update 1:04PM] Back from lunch meeting. Holy, smokes! I missed a huge event.

[Update 1:20PM] iPhone pricing $499 4GB. $599 8GB. Available in June. 2 year Cingular contract. This phone looks unbelievable. I look forward to getting one of these to replace my SE W600.

[Update 1:22PM] AAPL Stock up nearly 7%.

[Update 2:02PM] Get notified from Cingular when the iPhone becomes available.

[Update 2:49PM] View the Apple MacWorld 2007 Keynote Video when it becomes available later today.

[Update 3:38PM] AAPL Stock finished up 8.31% closing at 92.57. Meanwhile, Blackberry maker RIMM closed down over 7%.

Here is a run down of the new goodies Steve has brought us today:

  • No new iPods, however we do get an FM receiver as an accessory
  • Mac OS X 10.4.4 has Widgets!
  • iLife 2006 has lots of great new features. No FrontRow, No iPhoto/Flickr integration, everything is .Mac, No iTunes updates.
  • iWork 2006 has no features, no spreadsheet. I guess we are still stuck with AppleWorks
  • iMac first Mac to be offered with Intel chip (Intel Core Duo). Available today. Man my iMac G5 is looking old in the tooth and it is not even a year old!
  • Ok, so 10.4.4 is completely native with Universal binaries as are iLife ‘06 and iWork ‘06. Pro apps will be universal in March.
  • I hope 10.4.4 brings an updated iSync to sync to my new SE W600i
  • MacBook Pro, rip Powerbook. Intel Core Duo inside. 15.4″, iSight, $1999 (1.67 Ghz) and $2499 (1.83 GHz) buy today, ship in February.

What no new iPod Shuffle? Powerbooks? iBooks? Mac Mini? DVR? Plasma screens?

Update: A QuickTime stream of the Jobs keynote is now available.
