Apple's WWDC 2009



The new iPhone 3GS was announced this morning at Apple's WWDC. It now has an auto-focus 3 megapixel snapper, 3G that is twice as fast, a faster processor, video recording, voice control, Nike+ support, Bluetooth 2.1 (rather than 2.0), a new oil and water resistant finish, and headphones with an inline remote to control your music. Another cool new feature is a magnetic compass. So now, you can tour remote areas without paying international roaming charges :P. But, the iPhone 3GS weighs 2 grams more than the iPhone 3G. The 8gb iPhone 3G is still being sold for just $99. Oddly, the babble on the lower end of the back of the iPhone 3G is gone (only in the pictures and 360 degree view)!



The unibody Macbooks are gone, but new 13-inch Macbook Pros are here, so there is not much to say, except that the 15 inch Macbook Pro does not have a removable battery anymore. We also get SD card slots and lose Expresscard slots in 15-inch Macbooks. Also, is it just me, or has Apple given the plastic Macbook Audio-In and excluded it from the 13-inch Macbook Pros? In my opinion, Apple should not have gotten rid of the black Macbooks. They were much classier than the white Macbooks. Also, Snow Leopard costs just $29 to upgrade to.
