What is in WWDC2009

WWDC2009 the upcoming exhibition, after the media has been carried out for this exhibition all sorts of speculation, but in recent days on site Daring fireball new iPhone, low-cost iPhone, Tethering services, snow leopard operating system, Marble interface technology such as tablet PCs, as well as Apple's WWDC2009 hot spots are given their views together to see how their views are kind of.

The new iPhone - iPhone 3GS:

Apple is expected to be announced at the WWDC the new iPhone Conference on mobile phones, this phone will use a faster processor, memory and storage capacity will be doubled. Prices will remain with the current iPhone are basically the same product, 16/32GB capacity of the product will be priced at around U.S. 199/299. In addition, this camera phone will also become one of its selling points.

In addition, it is believed that this phone will be named "iPhone 3GS". Time and battery life than the iPhone 3G to raise about 15-20%.

Shape size, 3GS with the current line of 3G models, the screen / casing size will not change, of course, 3GS in appearance may be subject to change compared to 3G.

Of the low-cost iPhone:

In addition, it is believed there may WWDC Apple announced the 99 U.S. dollars mobile phone version of the iPhone. The iPhone price of 99 U.S. dollars there are two possibilities: One is the Apple iPod mini will be similar to the way 99 U.S. dollars to launch the new Starter Edition iPhone; Second, Apple will report directly to the existing version of the iPhone 3G 8GB price cut to 99 dollars.

I think that the second hypothesis is more likely to achieve, after all, just as the iPhone 3GS to launch a flagship product, and it can not completely replace the iPhone 3G in the market place. But I think that eventually Apple will still be the introduction of the simplified version of iPhone products, these products in the Starter Edition features / price will be reduced, but time in the near future, Apple could not launch such a simplified version of products, so they will be announced iPhone 3G price of the 8GB version of the 99 U.S. dollars.

However, we estimate that Apple WWDC Conference will not be 99 U.S. dollars, it announced the news of the price, they might wait until the beginning of iPhone 3GS sale price when the re-release information.

IPhone Tethering related services:

iPhone3.0 will support tethering services have been an open secret, and this service allows computers to share the 3G mobile phone connection. But here in the telecom service providers how to implement the fees for such services is not clear, no doubt that operators will be an additional charge for this service, but the amount of the problem.

Snow Leopard:

Snow Leopard operating system on the major questions exist in this market acceptance of the operating system. Apple has made it clear that the purpose of snow is not to provide new features, but the original functions of the improvement and optimization, but that case they will be how to persuade consumers to buy did not provide new features Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system does? We estimate that Apple will adopt the following strategy:

1. Will be priced at 129 U.S. dollars snow leopard and snow leopard launch publicity campaign performance with better and faster;
2. Will reduce the snow leopard pricing, down to 59 U.S. dollars so the price;
3. Token will be priced at 19 U.S. dollars snow. Apple has been signing for iPhone users to upgrade the operating system to provide free services, and iPod Touch will not be able to enjoy this service, Mac machines the situation is similar with the iPod Touch, it would not be possible for Apple Mac users with free Snow Leopard operating system update .

Marble-related interface technologies:

Marble is the Snow Leopard operating system is said to adopt the new system will interface design, from the developer's point of view, the snow leopard change compared to previous generations is not a great operating system, but Apple will use the new system interface design, so that snow point of view than previous generations from the appearance of new products.

However, if Apple plans to launch by the end of August snow, then they may not have the time to MAarble interface used in this operating system, such a short period of time on third-party software developers is not enough, so we estimate that interface Marble operating system is not specifically designed for snow, and snow will not be used Marble interface technology.

Apple Tablet PC:

Although there was every indication that Apple is planning is likely to launch its own Tablet PC, but I would like Apple WWDC Conference impossible to announce this new product, we also need to be patient to see it some time to see him no longer.
