WWDC: What Will Di Capi (di Tutti Apple) Do?

wwdc

Hey, BoomTown just heard that Apple (AAPL) is having some kind of conference for its developers today and there will be–what is the name they are calling it?–a “keynote” by some guy named Steve.

Blah, blah, blah on some new iPhone with three Gs. With GPS, video recording, more space, a better camera and an ability to beam you up to the Starship Enterprise.

OK, OK, for those not under a rock over the last several weeks, Apple leader Steve Jobs takes the stage for his much-expected keynote at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference at San Francisco’s Moscone West, starting at 10 a.m. PDT.

In other words, Twitter should be completely collapsing at 10:01 a.m., under the weight of 1,265,452,983 tweeting fanboys (and girls too) going into digital ecstasy at Jobs’s every utterance, all hanging on for the detailed details and, you guessed it, one more thing!

AllThingsD will also be there live too, in the form of Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski, who will be blogging right from the WWDC keynote.

And Walt Mossberg is also in town, so BoomTown will try to corner him and Paczkowski after the Jobs speech with our new Mino video camera from Pure Digital to find out about iPhone’s beam-me-up-Scotty feature.

Until then, please enjoy this less-than-impressed-with-the-iPhone piece by Dan Gillmor in Voices today. Apple fans fire away, as Dan likes a good debate!

    In spite of not Tweeting (who CARES what I’m doing this moment and WHY should I want to tell them?) I’ll unabashedly be at my computer watching all the blogs from the floor of Moscone West.

    As to what might be announced, I hope the following rumors are true:

    If they are . . . I’ll be buying!

    -o- 3g iPhone with GPS (and the first iPhone Development Kit results)
    -o- MacFusion (built for developers)
    -o- MacMe (Formerly dotMac — I’ve had that since the day it was first announced; to get a ‘Mac.com’ email address.)

Values aren’t just for idealists — they matter. If a company’s practices make you uncomfortable, pay attention to your instincts and be true to them.
