Steve opened up the whole show with basically a major diss on netbooks. Basically he said netbooks weren't good at anything. They were just cheap laptops. Which is pretty much true.
Well they called it iPad. Which makes sense since it sounds like iPod, but unfortunately it does sound like the new female hygiene product from Apple. And they spent a good amount of time making damn sure people thought it was going to be called something else like iSlate. Very sneaky Apple.
So it is only a pound and a half, half and inch thick, comes with 16-64mb of flash memory and has a custom built A4 processor made for Apple at 1 Ghz.

Well today is the day that techies all over the globe clamor for the next new Apple product. I obviously think that nobody else does hype and buzz around their products like Apple does. But what is less publicized is the new OS update for the iPhone, which is probably the same OS that the Tablet will run on. I am sure we will see many live streaming webcasts of the Event in San Francisco scheduled to 10 a.m Pacific time. This will inevitably launch the new SDK as well since people will be able to develop apps for the new format of the tablet and iPhone developers will have to be able to optimize their already stellar list of apps.
Oh, so we obviously know that the OS 4.0 is coming [+]
If you have been wondering when the iphone will have flash animation available on the browser you can wait no more. Just kidding, this is a demo only javascript runtime that is hosted on github.com. Dubbed the Gordon project this script is for swf's only but will load flash animations on your phone. Pretty darn cool. But, the flash is a processor intensive technology that is not optimized at all for the smallish phone processors which is why apple didn't make it available in the first place. The chances of Adobe optimizing flash for phones is probably slim to none so we may have to wait for apple to put a faster chip in there until we see flash become standard.
To get this to this work, Flash developers will need to [+]
// There have been rumors a' flying everywhere with buzz aplenty about the new Apple tablet. Already dubbed the "iSlate" by some I hesitate to think it will be called that. Too bedrock for Jobs' 
liking I bet but it could very well be. Anyway, this should also result in a new OS 4 for the iPhone and a brand new SDK for the iPhone and the tablet.
Sources at Mac4Ever are hinting towards a possible release of iPhone OS 4 Beta, along with its SDK for developers. The new simulator in iPhone OS 4 SDK is said to be specially designed, most likely to make it easier for developers to optimize their current iPhone apps for larger high resolution tablet screens. This could also make way for the Next Generation iPhone [+]
If you have ever lost your iphone the sinking feeling cannot be replicated, except by losing one of your children maybe. So much data and information on one little device. Well, the iHound app will let you send your phone a message and track it to its current location so you can find it. iHound fails to let you know that if you track your phone to say, a Hells Angels clubhouse, that you are still screwed but at least you know where it is. The best thing is you don't need a mobile me account for it. Not that having a mobile me account is all bad but adding another monthly fee to the iphone can break the bank since ATT is already bending us over.
The new version of the [+]
It appears that Apple has made installing the iPhone SDK on PPC near impossible as I have scoured the interwebs looking for the holy grail how to. It isn't there I checked. The only option 
may be to get an older SDK and use that. The newer 3.1.2 SDK is for intel based macs only. Since I have a dual 2ghz g5 with 8 GB RAM this cheeses me off as my machine is far from low performance. Luckily I have an intel mac but it still feels like betrayal. [+]
