Jan Zdarsa If you are tired of reading long articles about WWDC, I have prepared a short summary of the essentials from the WWDC keynote. If you like details, then you will probably choose the article "Detailed coverage of the Apple keynote from WWDC".

But we know that the iPhone will be on sale in the Czech Republic on July 9.7. ;) believe me… :)
and you need an sd slot for the iPhone, right? :D
9.7. and then 9.8. more states will be added.. otherwise, I don't have the option to watch the live stream.. Too bad I didn't send the drive to that address.. I would definitely mention it here as well.
Otherwise, the information about the MacBook 13 Pro, as a 4-month-old owner of the MacBook 13 Alu 2.0, did not please me, why does Apple always come up with something new. :-)
did they cancel the express card slot? I don't see it written on the official websites. It's just that a slot for SD cards has been added. It can't be seen on the screens either. Can someone pls?
Tomáš >I totally agree!! I have been a satisfied owner so far...
Hello. so I'm a bit disappointed and angry. apple has been tempting us with fw 3.0 for a few months now, and now instead of releasing it right away, it's adding another week :-( as for the "new" iphone, it's a big disappointment for me. I was really expecting something new. The HW specifications aren't out yet and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but for now as a 3G owner I don't see any idea to buy a 3GS. But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and the tests will show how great and nimble the machine is.
I just note that the new safari 4.0 is already available for download.
Mireček: Hehe, disappointed and angry. It's really terrible how Apple cheated you and fw 3.0 won't be released until a week from now. Please don't take your life, it's not worth it.
There you go. Yesterday he warned everyone that they should fix their applications, that it would break out in a week.
well, the express card slot is not missing in the 17″ model, but in the 15″ model, they probably canceled it, but it’s not there on the screens. It’s a shame, but the SD card slot made me happy. Just two days ago, I was thinking that it’s a shame that it’s not there and suddenly the vulture is there :)
but in the presentation, there is no exact date of the introduction of the iPhone 3GS to the Czech market. There is only the fact that in July '09 (which means 2009 and not the 9th) it will be introduced in the mentioned countries, among which is the CZE.
Well, I am personally satisfied with the new features offered by the iPhone. Its appearance is still very modern and unsophisticated. As for the software, I think that all the changes that the iPhone needed are included in the new version. I was probably most interested in the battery. This "deficiency" on my 3G makes me a little sad. Considering that the new 3GS could withstand 10 hours of video, there is nothing to add.
As for the SD card slot, I think it is unnecessary for the iPhone. Its internal memory is quite large and the card itself is already a certain intervention in the hardware (another brand-SD-Panasonic). Maybe due to the GPS it would be easier, or better said time saving. I wonder how quickly maps will pour into my iPhone.
I guess time will tell us more and I sure hope Steve didn't leave anything to chance.
Hi everyone, if I get a new Iphone sent from the state. How much will it cost? Will I be able to put a normal road in it and use it with O2?? Like the old one?? Thanks a lot
Yes, I would also prefer to wait. Maybe when the iPhone is already on sale with us, it won't be blocked, but it's not certain. I'd rather pay the 3000 NOK so that it's quiet and there are no problems
But on apple.com they have a 16GB version for 199 dollars. :-) That would cost 400 more to the guild?? Otherwise, how do you see it, do you think that the new iPhone is worth it?? I mean, if they are for the "new "What's going to happen, it's worth buying a new one. Thanks :-)
I have to say that I was shocked by the loading speed of Chrome on PC.
and today Safari 4.0
Like when I called a PC-hardened sef of IE 8 or whatever version it is, the PC totally crashed.
So we'll see what it says on Safari
There was still talk about shooting a video and the problem: buy a new Iphone. Or is there a way to do it on the new 3.0?? without JB??? Thank you
WWDC : We haven't done anything very new or interesting, but we have the money to advertise it.
I see that the Apple Store sells MacBooks. Will it go to the MacBook Pro? :D
well, I don't know, it's not worth that much to me, I bought the reader for 30 CZK, I don't care about the backlit keyboard, since I still use apple wired, the display is true, but that's enough, I usually use an external monitor, FW never does anything, well and perhaps the performance, 6GB of RAM will be enough, just like the processor, I won't use it... :-D I'm curious how it will be with the price, how much the MacBook Alu will cost and how much the new MacBook Pro will cost, when I heard that the iPhone 3Gs will be more expensive, so I wouldn't be surprised..
