Gibert: I just wanted to say that I'm a nerd, and I'm here tonight to stand up for the rights of other nerds. I mean uh, all our lives we've been laughed at and made to feel inferior. And tonight, those bastards, they trashed our house. Why? Cause we're smart? Cause we look different? Well, we're not. I'm a nerd, and uh, I'm pretty proud of it.
Lewis: Hi, Gilbert. I'm a nerd too. I just found that out tonight. We have news for the beautiful people. There's a lot more of us then there are of you. I know there's alumni here tonight. When you went to Adams you might've been called a spazz, or a dork, or a geek. Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down, whether you think you're a nerd or not, why don't you just come down here and join us. Okay? Come on.
Gibert: Just join us cos uh, no-one's gonna really be free until nerd persecution ends.

 

iPad and iBook sales are doing well, blah blah blah apple is great etc.

 

10:04AM "It is magical, I know it because I got this email: I was sitting in a café with my iPad, and it got a girl interested in me!." "So there's proof." Huge cheers.

 

iPads can now read PDFs

 

“There is one feature request we’ve consistently gotten… and I’m happy to announce Netflix for the iPhone coming this summer for free.” Woops, Steve slipped and mentioned Netflix for iPhone right before Reed got on stage.

Pincus is up: “Thank you Steve and Apple, we’re honored and excited. Today we’re introducing farming for the iPhone. Farmville is our most popular game, and we’re excited to be bringing it to the most popular mobile gaming platform in the world.”

 

Thx for doing this iodine! Between your posts and moka's macrumors feed, I almost feel like I am there...

called iPhone 4

 

Netflix app for iphones should be nice.

 

We have a front-facing camera, microSIM, camera + LED flash, headset, and a second mic for noise cancellation. Now, because there have been a few photos around, people have asked, what’s this?” The edge of the phone. “What are these lines? These don’t seem like Apple.”
Well, it turns out, there’s not just one of them, there’s three of them. And they are part of the structure of the phone — the stainless steel band is the structure of the phone. These is some brilliant engineering — we use that stainless steel band as part of the antenna system.”

 

^^ And the fact you can start and stop your flix on any device -- start watching on your computer, pause it, then start watching again later on your iPhone (as you fly to Borneo, or wherever...). Cool!

“There’s not another consumer product like this. This is our all new design for the iPhone 4. That’s the first point.” Big applause. 10:36AM - “It’s got integrated antennas right in the structure of the phone — it’s never been done before and it’s really cool engineering.” Big applause. “Stainless steel for strength. Glass on the front AND back. Integrated antennas, and extraordinary build quality.”




old screen



new screen

“3.5-inches, but 4x more pixels than the iPhone 3GS. 326px per inch. 800:1 contrast ratio, 4x that of iPhone 3GS. IPS — provides much more accurate color and much higher resolution. You can’t make an OLED display with this resolution, we think it’s quite superior.”

 

^^ The retina display does look markedly better than the old screen in those demo pics. But, I gotta tell you -- I just pulled out my iPhone and my eyes tell me it looks pretty dang good. I'm not seeing all those jaggies. Hm. Trumped up? Maybe, maybe not -- will have to see an iPhone 4 in person to really be able to see the difference I guess...

 

I found this hilarious.

10:44 am Steve concludes demo.
10:44 am Someone shouts, "Try Verizon."
10:43 am Asks Scott for any suggestions.
10:43 am Steve apologizing again.
10:43 am iPhone 4 slowly barely loads NY Times.
10:43 am Difference is fairly amazing.
10:42 am Steve goes back to showing photos.
10:42 am iPhone 4 now on AT&T, all kinds of error messages about not being connected to the internet popping up on iPhone 4.
10:41 am Switching to backups.
10:41 am NY Times still not loading on iPhone 4.
10:41 am Steve asks everyone to get off WiFi to help him out, audience laughs.
10:41 am Loading slowly, "networks in here always unpredictable."
10:40 am Loading up NY Times next.
10:40 am Zoomed in difference looking at home screen is remarkable. Apple had to get special projectors to show just how good this screen is.
10:39 am Firing up both phones.
10:39 am Doing a live demo now.

 

the fact that its an IPS display will make it better with true to life colors.
