3G iPhone is expected. With Al Gore in the audience, maybe there will be some type of environmental announcement?

1. I bet Jobs calls Al on the new phone as part of his show

I'm following it too.

2. Al is on Apple's board of directors

which might explain his presence.

3. Isn't Gore pretty much financially attached to Apple? Apple was

blatantly and prominently "product placed" throughout his movie too.

4. many people are financially attached to Apple

anyone who buys Apple, be it stock or machines, are financially attached to Apple. It's a damned fine system. I've been using it since 1983, and love it. i have 2 active machines at home, airport, and one retired G5 that needs to be donated as soon as i wipe the hard drive clean. Just got an iphone and love it.

here at work, i use an Apple machine to process images from the Hubble space telescope and read DU. :P

So, i'm financially attached to Apple, not like Al Gore, but still attached.

Lunch break over, gotta go ....

5. damn! this always happen

whenever i but some hardware, they come out with an upgrade a few weeks later.
more than a year ago, i bought their high-end powerbook and was bragging to friends that i had the most powerful laptop in the world -- that lasted about 2 weeks. they came out with a more powerful machine.

Now, it's the iphone. got one 2 months ago. and now they have a new model!
