Highlights of Apple WWDC 2009 Keynote

iPhone 3GS

• faster (2 times, to be exact)
• 3 megapixel camera, with auto focus
• built-in digital compass - an application would be maps which would reorient itself according to your direction.  Useful if you're bad with maps like me.
• video recording and editing
• voice control - use voice to call and control your music (say an artist name to play their music)
• Nike+ iPod app (looks like the app that's on the latest iPod touches)

For iPhone and iPod touch owners - 3.0 features

• old iPhone 3G is now $99 in US in 8GB model
• cut copy and paste
• horizontal keyboards in Apple's apps (i.e. Mail)
• MMS
• search across your iPhone
• Internet tethering
• voice memos
• stereo Bluetooth
• buy and rent movies, buy TV shows, music videos, and audiobooks from the phone
• shake to shuffle
• Notes syncing with the computer
• MobileMe: iDisk app - access your iDisk files (finally!!!)
• MobileMe: Find your iPhone - You can find the location of your iPhone on Me.com.  You can have it play a sound so you can locate it.  If you lost your iPhone and someone has it, you can send a message to the iPhone to tell them to return it.
• MobileMe: Remote wipe - wipe the iPhone clean remotely.  Hope I'll never have to use it, but it's nice to know that it's there.

MacBook Pro Line

• 13 inch - The existing aluminum 13 inch MacBooks are now in the MacBook Pro Line.  Built-in battery.  More vivid display.  Up to 8GB of memory.  Backlit keyboard and 800 FireWire.  Starts at $1199
  
• 15 inch upgraded - More vivid display, built-in battery like it's 17 inch brother and SD card slot are the most noticeable features.  
  
• 17 inch upgraded - better specs
  

MacBook Line

The white MacBook is back in the spotlight in the MacBook line at $999.  With the MacBook Pro 13 inch at $1199, seems like MacBook Pro is a better buy.  Personally, the price difference is too little.  For $200 bucks more, seems like you get a lot of stuff over the $999 MacBook.   Wouldn't it be great if they price this at $799? Or even $899 would be nice.

• New Expose features (in particular, integration with the Dock) - As an avid user of Expose, looking forward to this one.
  
• support for Microsoft Exchange
  
• $29 dollar upgrade for Leopard users!!! $29!!! That's incredible!
