AT&T Speaks on Tethering, iPhone 3GS Preorders, Upgrades ★

Chris Foresman:

In all, it seems folks are mostly disappointed with the mixed news regarding AT&T’s handling of service and pricing for the iPhone.

This is an understatement. Contempt for AT&T is topic number one here at WWDC.

Apple’s List of Snow Leopard Enhancements and Refinements ★

Good overview of what’s new. To call out just one change, note that Snow Leopard now defaults to the same display gamma as Windows — 2.2 instead of 1.8.

No 3GS Upgrade Pricing for Existing 3G Owners? ★

Heck of a job, AT&T.

Macworld’s Live WWDC 2009 Keynote Coverage ★

These guys are typing away right behind me here in the keynote hall.

(I’ll try to make a few quips on Twitter.)

Worst Prediction Ever ★

Not even sure what to say about this:

“The question is whether they will use it for product launches,” said Rob Enderle, president of the Enderle Analyst Group. “It appears the answer is no since they are signaling that not only will Jobs not be there, neither will the new phones.” From the standpoint of consumers and even investors, he said, the developers conference isn’t nearly as important as Macworld.

Update: Fixed the link, sorry about that.
