WWDC Loose Ends

WWDC Loose Ends

June 13, 2008 at 14:35WWDC

A couple of other thoughts I want to share as the WWDC closes down:

  • There are numerous rumors going around that the iPhone 3G will, in fact, be tetherable to your notebook computer. Apparently, though, the data plan will cost more for tethering...weird.

I was thinking about the possibility of a late-breaking feature announcement for the iPhone and I could see it. It would be an interesting tactic for truly escalating the iPhone 3G hype. The phone is going to be a success no matter what. Say that no mention is made of the camera until the day the phones are available. I could see a mad rush of people - even more so than last year - lining up to get hold of one. A feature like live video conferencing would simply blow people away.

As for myself, I gotta get one on the first day, I just haven't figured out how to do it without standing in some intolerably long line. I need to find the most remote, least trafficked Apple store or AT&T store that will have the phone and wait there.
