There is always a lot of anticipation around Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference and this year was no exception. There was talk of a Mac Tablet and a lite version of the iPhone. I expected Apple to introduce a netbook or a cheaper, smaller laptop. However they would have being acutely aware of cannabalising their current line-up with a cheaper version.
The key announcement was the iPhone 3G S, which seems to be playing catch-up on functions missing from the 3G, especially an improved camera with video recording (finally), the ability to run more than one application at once and a cut-and-paste functionality.
I still think lacking a physical keyboard is a drawback of the iPhone. It will be interesting to see how the Palm Pre goes up against the iPhone 3G S.
