مبارك عليكم الشهر و كل عام و انتم بخير
Happy Ramathan!
It’s happened every September for the past few years, and it appears it’s on track again: Apple is planning a keynote event rumored to take place the second week of September.
Time to get the rumor mill kicked into high gear: Multiple music industry sources say Apple executives have told them the company is planning one of its famed keynote events for the week of Sept. 7. “according to AllThingsD’s Peter Kafka”
But in true Apple fashion, the company has been noncommittal about the exact date of the event and what it will be showing off..
Apple has traditionally held media-focused keynote event each September to introduce new iTunes features and iPod updates, making the announcement of a similar event this year an unsurprising move.
- 2008: Apple held a ”Let’s Rock” event to introduce iTunes 8 and new iPod touch, nano, and shuffle models.
- 2007: Apple held a ”The Beat Goes On” event introducing the original iPod touch alongside updates to the remainder of the iPod line, an iTunes 7.4 update, and iPhone price drops.
- 2006: Apple offered the ”It’s Showtime” event introducing iTunes 7 and iPod updates, as well as a sneak peak at the “iTV” that launched several months later as the Apple TV.
- 2005: Apple’s ”Here We Go Again” event introduced the Motorola ROKR mobile phone with iTunes support alongside the release of iTunes 5 and saw the introduction of the original iPod nano to replace the iPod mini.
We’ll Have to wait and see what goes on!
Update!
iTunes is showing that the new update is available!
So far, the release of 3.0 OS for the iPhone and iPod touch is scheduled for today the 17th. According to various sources and information gathers, the update will be available anytime after 8:00pm Kuwait time. All you have to do is connect your iPhones or touches to your itunes and keep clicking check for updates. Now this is just a guess of the time but we shall wait and see what happens in the coming hours.
Check tuaw.com for more instructions on checking the release of the OS through terminal
Note: People with unlocked/jail-broken iPhones please don’t update at all until someone releases an unlock/jail break for 3.0! Or Wait Till Friday!
The devTeam is at it again! They just demoed the unlocked iPhone 3.0 OS in this video you see below.
They are probably going to release it on June 19th a while after the iPhone 3.0 OS is release by Apple to make sure that Apple doesn’t push last minute changes so make sure you watch out for this bit of news. Here is a link to ultrasn0w.

Well, we promised that we would provide you with a summary of what went down in WWDC 09 so here goes.
As you all know, WWDC, World Wide Developer Conference is an event geared towards developers who write programs for the Apple platform. This year, while it has seen some new product introductions, it was still developer oriented. Apple kicked off the presentation by updating their Laptops, then showed some figures, a new advertisement, Snow Leopard, iPhone OS 3.0, iPhone 3GS, more advertisement, and some developer demos.
Instead of going through the specs of the products introduced, which we thought that you already have or will read about them in the following links, we decided to tell you what is relevant for you and us.
- Macbook
- Macbook Pro
- Macbook Air
- iPhone 3GS
Macbook Pro
What is important to you is that the hard drive is still user replaceable but now you need to remove some 8 screws to get to it. The battery is also replaceable by removing the bottom cover of the laptop it is not, however, replaceable on the fly like before. Another important bit of information is the new battery and according to MacRumors.com tests with regular web browsing through Wifi, the 15 inch last and increadible 8 hours which to say the least is amazing. The sad bit of news also from MacRumors.com is that both the 13 inch and 15 inch Macbook Pros are using 1.5Gbit SATA Controllers instead of the 3.0Gbit versions.
iPhone
Obviously the new iPhone is better in terms of hardware but the real genius is the software which we will all be getting on the 17th of June. iPhone 3G-S is available today in the US and Europe but will be available in Saudi through Mobily and the UAE through Etisalat sometime in August according to WWDC 09 presentation. We will have more information for you then. Other GCC countries to follow soon but unfortunately there is no sign on Kuwait’s cell providers, Wataniya, Zain, and Viva, anywhere on the map which leaves us to think that either they don’t care or pretty much asleep.
Last but not least is Snow Leopard which I will be leaving for another post later on.
