Let's Talk iPhone* Event

ByMike Moffit

Apple’s “Let’s Talk About iPhone” event got underway at 1PM ET today amid much hype (as per usual, fanboys and girls), and we’ll have all the details and new releases here in just a bit.

Newly appointed CEO Tim Cook kicked off the event, and along with Scott Forstall, Senior VP of iOS Software, and Phil Schiller, Senior VP of Product Marketing, he outlined all of the new products and Apple updates that we’ve been eagerly awaiting.

(Well, maybe not all… *spoiler alert: as you probably gathered from the title, the iPhone 5 will have to wait for another day.)

More on all that shortly. Here’s a quick summary of what we’ll be covering:

  • iPod nano and iPod touch updates
  • iCloud release information and details
  • iPhone 4S release
  • iOS details
  • Various Apple numbers and stats over the last quarter

Stay tuned!

UPDATE 3:13PM: Looks like all the traffic has crashed Apple’s website. ACCESS DENIED!

UPDATE 3:50PM: Apple’s site is back up.

  • iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2 for iPad Sneak Peek

    *iOS 4.1*
    Today, Apple introduced iOS 4.1. Steve Jobs noted a lot of fixes and new features, including:

    * various bug fixes for Proximity, Bluetooth and iPhone 3G
    * High Dynamic Range photos
    * HD video upload over Wi-Fi
    * TV show rentals
    * Game Center

    High Dynamic Range photos consist of essentially three separate images so that it will gather midranges, shadows and highlights effectively. As I mentioned earlier, HD video uploads and TV show rentals, and Game Center–a hub for multiplayer games.

    iOS 4.1 will be available next week for iPhone and iPod touch. More on this then!

    *iOS 4.2 for iPad*
    The iPad should feel special, because it’s getting its own (i)OS update. iOS 4.2 is all about the iPad.

    This is why it’s hot:

    * wireless printing for iOS on your iPad
    * AirPlay to stream video and audio over Wi-Fi from your iPad
    * add apps to folders, just like iPhone, as well as multitasking

    The update will be available in November, and it’s free for iPad users. We’ll be writing more on this as soon as we get our hands on it.
