We blog live at Apple's WWDC 2009 keynote speech.
Apple unveiled the next version of the operating system that powers the iPhone, dubbed version 3.0 offering users expanded functionality like MMS, copy and paste and a landscape keyboard.
I can't wait for the new iPhone to come out mainly because I'm so dog-tired of listening to the never-ending screeds of rumour mongering nonsense speculating on what functionality the device will have that come out every single day.

iTunes 9 is a natural, yet relatively minor, evolution of Apple's popular media management software and is a required download for new iPod owners.
Seven weeks after being announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the first Intel-based MacBook Pro notebooks arrive Down Under. We have photos of what you can expect when you open the box.
The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the 1TB version, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.
