=====================
Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/932>
At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference today, Steve Jobs
announced just about everything that was predicted, but that didn't
detract from the news. Arriving July 11th, the new iPhone 3G will
sport increased 3G cellular bandwidth, built-in GPS, and the iPhone
2.0 software - priced at $199 for the 8 GB version and $299 for the
16 GB version (in black or white). We've been crunching hard all day
to bring you the details from today's event, including more
information on the App Store, the .Mac replacement MobileMe, and a
limited sighting of Snow Leopard, the next version of Mac OS X due
sometime in the middle of 2009. For those less interested in iPhone
news, Adam debunks David Pogue's recent claims about ebook piracy,
and in the TidBITS Watchlist, we note the releases of Canon Print
Driver 1.1, Brother Print Driver 1.1, the Typinator HTML Snippet
Set, Default Folder X 4.0.6, DragThing 5.9.3, and Differencia 1.1,
as well as Leopard boot DVDs for Data Rescue II and Drive Genius 2.
