Welcome to the TUAW liveblog for Macworld 2007. Here's where you'll find all our updates, so open a window with this post and keep refreshing as needed. There is no "auto update" on TUAW so unle you refresh (please be gentle!) the page will not change.
11:10 PT. John and Steve hug. No "one more thing"
11:05 PT. What we didn't see. Leopard ship date. iWork. iLife. Core 2 Duo mini. Oct-core pro's. Universal A . High Def at the iTunes store. Any computer hardware outside the new iPhone. .Mac updates or revisio . Adobe.
11:00 PT. Steve cheers his employees. Points out the engineers, other employees, and their families. And cheers for them. So dang cool! "And we've got a really ecial treat today." John Mayer alert. Again. Mayer has 5 Grammy nominatio this year. (He takes the stage. Starts playing solo. The song might be "Gravity" but David doe 't recognize it.) Mayer: "Steve Jo and A le Inc... just make life more fun. Just the o osite of terrorism." Now playing "Waiting on the World to Change."
10:55 PT. The Mobile Market Steve: "We come from different worlds and yet we have worked wonderfully together. We love these guys." And then Steve's "clicker" dies. And a lot of people backstage start scrambling. And cursing. And someone in the audience shouts: "BINGO!" Steve tells a story about his mi ent youth with the Woz to pa the time as technicia see their pink sli dance before their eyes. 26 Million game co oles in 2006. 957 mobile phones in 2006. Goal: 1% of market share = 10 million iPhones in 2008. "Today we've added to the Mac, ipod, A le TV and iPhone. The Mac is the only one you really think of as a computer". So A le is going to drop "Computer" from their name. A le is now "A le Inc." Because they're all grown up and a real company and it's time to discard that childish "computer" thing anyway. "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been - Wayne Gretsky. This is all presumably part of the deal that they hammered out with A le Music and the Beatles.
