Blog: My picks for WWDC10

Over on my Mac forum I’ve posted a list of items I think Apple may announce tomorrow at the WWDC 10 Keynote.

My top picks:

  • New iPhone – I’m almost positive Apple will announce a new iPhone tomorrow, probably calling it iPhone 4, iPhone HD or just iPhone.
  • iPhone OS 4.0 – Apple will probably preview more of iPhone OS 4.0 and give a sold release date (probably within a few weeks or a month, my best guess is sometime just before the new iPhone is available).
  • iPad OS 4.0 – Apple has already said that iPad OS 4.0 will not be available until after summer, but I’m betting developers will get a SDK.
  • Mac OS X 10.7 – While I think they’ll talk about it there will probably be a developer preview and a name (at best).

Wild cards:

  • Apple TV – A refresh of the Apple TV, I’m thinking more of an Xbox/PS3 as far as games/Apps and an overhaul of the existing functions. Also Apple’s Game Center in iPhone OS 4.0 ties into this idea nicely.
  • iWork/iLife 10 – Both iWork and iLife are still on the 09 versions, usually they are updated early in the year but it’s never too late to push out a small update and charge people money for a feature or two they’ll never use.

Blog: Posting from the WordPress iPad App

I went by my local Apple store this morning and picked up an iPad with a friend. I’m posting this from the WordPress iPad app! I’ve got some pictures from the event and I’ll post them up on OSX411 sometime soon. My dad got his shipped and it didn’t come until after I was back and we had eaten lunch.

Blog: Modern Warfare 2 – DONE

Last night I bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 to play over the weekend. I knew that the first modern warfare was a short singleplayer game, but I was still expecting to play the singleplayer over the weekend. I ended up beating the singleplayer in less than 6 hours the same night I bought it. I wanted to beat the singleplayer before playing the multiplayer online, which is the real reason I purchased it.
