Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2010 kick off

WDC '10 With roughly two minutes before Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference about to kick off with Steve Job’s keynote, some late breaking rumors have been hitting the crowd (which all either have a Macbook or iPad in their hands). You can follow live on Macrumor’s Live Coverage site.

As mentioned this morning, there might be one last “Get a Mac” commercial poking fun at the Gizmodo/Apple iPhone controversy. Not unexpected, but rumors of a new Apple TV being presented and previously unreleased rumors about iPhone OS 4 features including printing are emerging. Other expected announcements include a Mac Mini refresh, the latest versions of MacOS X, Safari and Xcode, iBooks subscription service, and Apple’s ‘Magic Trackpad’ or ‘Magic Slate’ release.

The Geeks will wrap-up the Keynote after Steve wraps it up.

Updated: Last “Get a Mac” Commercial at WWDC

9 to 5 Mac is reporting that John Hodgeman (“I’m a PC” guy) will reprise his role one last time for the Job’s keynote as a bartender getting a guy drunk to get his hands on the new Apple prototype. The commercial was shot at a bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn last week. Wonder if Gizmodo will be laughing…

Update: unfortunately, this rumor was not true… there was no last “Get a Mac” commercial today at the WWDC keynote.

Sprint’s HTC Evo goes on sale today

Sprint HTC EvoThe 1st WiMAX (802.16e 4G) Android device, the HTC Evo, goes on sale today on the Sprint Nextel network for $199 with a 2-yr contract. You can also purchase it from retailers Best Buy and Radio Shack.

The Evo has had a very positive reception since its unveiling in late March of this year. While the speed advantages are significant over current 3G networks (see video below), there is an additional cost of $10/month.  There is one additional benefit which AT&T and Apple have touted with their network and iPhones and that’s the ability to talk and use data services simultaneously. Expect this distinction to quickly fall away for Verizon and Sprint on their newer devices.

Super NES on iPad using the Wiimote

The Spirit jailbreak for the iPad was barely released when some of the more impressive features of the iPad were released without Apple’s consent. One of the more exciting hacks is the demo of Super Mario World being played on the Super NES emulator using a Wiimote (Wii Remote) as the controller after the break. Once jailbroken, you need snes4iphone ($5.99 from Cydia, which is the app store for jailbreak apps).

My 12 Favorite Apps for the iPad that Rock! – May 2010 Edition

iPad appsIn a couple of days I will have had my iPad for an entire month. In the past four weeks, my laptop and desktop machines have seen a considerable drop in use from me as the iPad has taken over several functions I had used them for.

The apps represented in my Top 12 Favorite iPad Apps are the ones that have helped the most with this transition plus a few other iPad apps that simply have caught my fancy.

I have a feeling this list will continue to change on a weekly basis with a few exceptions (the top 4 or 5 for example).

Let’s get started with the countdown with #12…

Jon Stewart asks Apple to be reasonable

Just in case you haven’t seen Jon Stewart’s take on Apple’s, let’s say, lack of judgement, then you should take 5 minutes to watch this. It really sums up very well how as companies become larger and more successful, even popular, that they seem to start ‘losing their marbles’. They seem to forget what it was like when they were starting up and competing against the unforgiving giants. Instead, they become them. The group-think becomes stronger and then they make decisions out of misplaced fear. *end soapbox rant*!
