I think they're actually moving away from the i prefix on everything. The iMac is the only one of their computers that has it since the demised of the iBook; they can't call a phone the iPhone cause it's someone else's trademark; and well, it's just getting a bit old.

The only convincing argument I've heard against the phone is that they don't own any patents, and all the big phone companies do. There are around 25 you need to make a phone, and they all cross-licence to one another. But to apple? hm. Costly, too.

I wish there was a video stream, so we could see the fanboys go crazy over "15 new templates in Keynote!"

I think I used http://www.macrumorslive.com/ last time for live updates.

schwantz, that post is some kind of weird masterpiece of inverted self-loathing voyeurism.

I wish there was a video stream so we could watch the uncomfortable silences when nothing cool comes out/the dull Microsoft woman is droning on.
