[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;28385310]so were those rumors that jobs had a few weeks to live ever proved or what[/QUOTE]The standing applause he got at the start and the fact he's here instead of on a death bed, its a bit obvious he's not that bad.
Boring
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;28385310]so were those rumors that jobs had a few weeks to live ever proved or what[/QUOTE] I think seeing him here is disproving that completely
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;28385310]so were those rumors that jobs had a few weeks to live ever proved or what[/QUOTE] It was judged by a photo of Steve grabbing his back or something. It's bullshit basically.

[QUOTE=>VLN<;28385299]So all it does is add a camera and a few new overpriced apps? Ok then.[/QUOTE] And an A5 CPU running at 1.2ghz which runs 2x as fast as the A4 (which was already insanely fast) and a better GPU, and a whole new design.
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;28385310]so were those rumors that jobs had a few weeks to live ever proved or what[/QUOTE] Probably just to get hits to their sites.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;28385332]You're right, my bad. Apparently I have something called FP Global Ticker and I don't remember installing it.[/QUOTE] Do you use Chrome?
I was asking, because I just entered this thread, but from seeing some pics I thought that is all they did.
Cameras are the same resolution as the iPhone's and the iPods

It's annoying the back camera isn't in the center.
Why no retina.
Same resolution as before Sigh
[QUOTE=sparky28000;28385388]Why no retina.[/QUOTE] It's expensive to make a "super high resolution" screen with the same pixel density of that size.
Does the iPad 2 still have the same crappy mono speakers? Edit: yes
[QUOTE=sparky28000;28385388]Why no retina.[/QUOTE] because it's impossible
Apple is going crazy with the Garageband stuff, but everyone is on the websites viewing the specs. [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C) Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C) Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m) Interesting
Campfires will never be the same o LORD [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] One more thing IN LONDON. No REALLY WHY is there an event in London I just, want to know
I've seen pics fom the iPod and they are pretty bad compared to other cameras with the same resolution.
Stephen Fry gonna facetime probably.
Looks like it'll be over in a minute Pretty disappointing, everything was expected except the apps, which aren't that great in the first place.
I know and I waiting for HIM. also [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/03/20110302-10595400--img4703.jpg[/img]
They are announcing APPS as a major selling point for a piece of hardware? Wouldn't they run .. on the old one?
Plugging in a guitar is pretty cool.
I think it's ridiculous how Apple bashed the Galaxy Tab because it ran a Android version meant for phones and the iPad 2 still has the same interface as the first iPod Touch and iPhone. [QUOTE=ifaux;28385343]And an A5 CPU running at 1.2ghz which runs 2x as fast as the A4 (which was already insanely fast) and a better GPU, and a whole new design.[/QUOTE] The A4 isn't "insanely fast". It's a standard high end mobile processor like tons of smartphones have and the A5 is probably about the same speed as Orion and Tegra 2.
[QUOTE=Killuah;28385510]They are announcing APPS as a major selling point for a piece of hardware? Wouldn't they run .. on the old one?[/QUOTE] They'll probably make them not work, even though the hardware could run it perfectly.
