GEEKSQUEAK

So today is a big day for us Apple Geeks.  It's the start of the WorldWide Developers Conference 2008, and sees our Lord, Master and Glorious Leader Steve Jobs take to the stage and whip everyone into a frenzy.  These events generate so much speculation among the fanboy communities online it's completely bonkers.  With a policy of non-disclosure, Apple do not discuss any new products until they are announced which means every mysterious envelope or change of font is unpicked for meaning.

The announcement of iPhone2 with 3G is apparently a no brainer.  So much so that even the News of the World yesterday had a small story just saying "Apple will launch the new iPhone tomorrow" which is actually total speculation but printed as fact.  Oh, well, I guess it is the News of the World.  Anyway.  Rumours galore about what will or will not be announced at WWDC.  The top rumours at the moment are:

1.  iPhone, with 3G, video calling, new design.

2.  Possible launch of a tablet Mac, bigger than an iPhone but with similar design.

3.  Relaunch of the .Mac online service, rebranded as MobileMe or Me.com

Let's see what happens at 6:00 this evening.  If anyone would like to watch as it happens, go to www.macrumorslive.com or www.engadget.com and yes, sites like this do exist and yes, I love them.
