The ramp up to the next iPhone always appears to draw more near more quickly each year. Although noone that we know has had the pleasure of laying eyes on the next iPhone, Pandev has seen the likes of it via an iPhone identifier never before gazed upon. For example, when the iPhone 3GS was being field tested an identifier of iPhone2,1 was seen in October 2008. This time Pandev has seen the iPhone3,1 identifier pop up since November of 2009. Pinchmedia provides analytics data for applications and shows the iPhone 3,1 identifier as official firmware from Apple. The time frame is about right given the past spotting prior to the 3GS launch. We doubt we will see any annoucement until around June, but maybe we will get a glimpse before then at whatever Apple replaces MacWorld with.
For the ultimate in viewing pleasure a large flat screen is no longer enough. The once concept Ostendo monitor is now available for all to purchase. The monitor does away with the need of three different displays and instead brings a seamless curved representation of what once was flat and seperate. The quad DLP display puts out a quality 2880 x 900 resolution followed with a high quality price tag. If you’ve got to have the display you will have to dish out a whopping $6499. The company has actually been selling these displays since August to Simulation and defense needs. Only a few have paid out the cash needed to enjoy what would be nicely welcomed on my personal desk.
As of yesterday Apple has made available sessions from the World Wide Developers Conference for your viewing pleasure. If you were unable to attend in June, you can now catch up on all you missed. The one downside to all the WWDC goodness is the price is about the same as attending the conference in person. Each session with run you a slim $299- $499 of your hard earned income. This could be of value you to you thought if you are in fact a developer.
