I actually don't think we will see a Verizon iPhone until at least November or maybe not until next year. There has been super secret hush hush rumors that Sprint might wind up with the iPhone over Verizon. That would be interesting and might save Sprint. I remember that Steve Jobs went to Verizon first with the iPhone and their CEO turned him down and refused to work with Apple so as they say 'Pay Back is a..." well you know what I mean. :-)

We might see the iPod Touch with a camera. I would say about time! It is crazy the iPod Touch doesn't have one!

We will for sure see the new 4th Gen iPhone with a front facing camera and with some sort of video chat. Also will probably get a higher res HD screen, and I am thinking they might plant the same super fast chip Apple made and put in the iPad into the new iPhone. I swear the iPad is wicked FAST! So in an iPhone it would just scream! Oh and I am sure they are going to use the new battery technology they have for the iPad and place it in the iPhone. I use my iPad ALL DAY LONG and have NEVER run out of battery life! NEVER! It is so sweet. They need that for the iPhone as well. I think we will see the new iPhone go on sale in about 2 weeks time. With pre-orders starting tomorrow.

Hopefully we will learn when the new 4.0 iPhone OS will be release. My hope of all hope is that it will be released tomorrow but I doubt it.

Some other things we might see are - a glimpse of the new Mac OS, a new XCode developer tool (rumors are there might be one for the Windows platform as well), and maybe a new upgrade or Apple TV box.

Steve Jobs keynotes are always exciting and fun to watch. So far he hasn't disappointed in awhile :-) I will be glued to bloggers and twitter getting updates as the keynote unfolds :-) I hope I can sleep tonight!

Well the new iPhone 4 looks pretty good. I was pretty much right about most things (see below). Figured they would use the A4 chip to run the new phone, figured we would get a HD screen along with HD video recording, figured we would get a better battery (10 hours of video use!), and figured we would get video chat but it isn't as exciting as I thought it would be (hopefully we will get to use Skype at some point).

Things that didn't happen were no new carrier. I figured as much but was hoping for getting out from under AT&T! Not clear if the iPod Touch will be upgraded with a camera. Plus no other Apple information beyond the iPhone. But maybe later in the week for that stuff.

So June 15th is pre-order day, June 21st is the release date for older phones to upgrade to the new iOS (the new name of the iPhone OS 4), and the release date for the new phone is June 24th!

Of course I will be upgrading to the new iPhone. I wouldn't be able to keep my Apple geek card if I didn't :-)
