Notes:

1. Dvd to iPhone conversion process is closely related to hardware. Conversion speed is subject to the quality of DVD discs and speed of hard drivers.

2. The speed figures in the diagram are test data which may differ from computers.

3. Unregistered version is slower than the registered one because each frame in the former version is noted with "Unregistered version" which wastes time.

Apple today at MacWorld unveiled their latest take the world by storm device. The new iPhone will be available in June in a 4GB model for $499 and an 8GB model for $599 and will run off of the Cingular cellular phone network.
The Apple iPhone, which runs off of Mac OS X, is being touted by its maker as a device which combines "a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, searching and maps-into one small and lightweight handheld device".

The iPhone is indeed a device that seems to be in a class by itself, using built-in sensors to do things like observing that a user has rotated the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changing the contents of the display accordingly, with users immediately seeing the entire width of a web page, for example. This built-in sensor feature also detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches. This is on top of a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusting the display's brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light.

As for controls, the iPhone sports a multi-touch display. This display basically lets you control all functions with your fingers. The iPhone is also relatively thin, measuring 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.46 inches. Battery life is reported to be up to five hours for talk time/Web browsing/video watching and up to 16 hours for audio playback.

Here is a further breakdown of features based on the three different directions the iPhone takes:

Mobile Phone:
Allows users to make calls by simply pointing at a name or number.
Syncs all of your contacts from your PC, Mac or Internet service such as Yahoo!
Construct a favorites list for your most frequently made calls.
Merge calls together to create conference calls.
Visual Voicemail lets users look at a listing of their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, then go directly to those messages without listening to the prior messages.
A SMS application with a full QWERTY virtual keyboard with predictive text to send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions.
A calendar application that allows calendars to be automatically synced with your PC or Mac.
A 2 megapixel camera and a photo management application. Users can browse browse their photo library, which can be synced from their PC or Mac, and choose a photo for their wallpaper or to include in an email.
A quad-band GSM phone which also features EDGE and Wi-Fi wireless technologies (802.11b/g) for data networking as well as Bluetooth 2.0 EDR.
Widescreen iPod: Microsoft recently confirmed it has sold just over a million Zunes - but recent research says most Zune owners rue the day they ever dipped into their pocket to pick one up, with 70 per cent of Zune owners planning to ditch the device in favour of an iPod or iPhone just as soon as they can.

Survey research from the Eagle Research Group shows most Zune owners are displeased, meaning the player has acquired little brand loyalty.

Zune owners surveyed are most excited by iPhone's ability to let users navigate their music using Cover Flow.

An astonishing 36 per cent of people who purchased a Zune now say they would never have purchased one if they had realised Apple would produce something as innovative as the iPhone.

Of course, exceptions prove the rule, according to reports, the 30 per cent of Zune owners who plan to stick with their player for now could be tempted by an iPhone with larger capacity storage.

22 per cent of the 30 per cent of vaguely loyal Zune owners are motivated by their "dislike of Apple", the survey explains. Cultists!

The Steve Jobs KeyNote at MacWorld 2007 in San Francisco is just starting and major new products are expected to be released. We have a team at the keynote reporting live here and at CrunchGear. Stay tuned.

The Apple Store is closed until after the Keynote, which has just begun. Minute by minute updates at CrunchGear.

The first twenty minutes or so was all about iTunes. 2 billion songs and 1.3 million movies have been sold on iTunes. There are over 250 movie titles available now. 350 tv shows. Basically, Jobs is making a statement that iTunes is very strong.

Jobs then turned to the iTV, a new hardware device for the living room that we wrote about last fall. iTV, which was a working name, is now called Apple TV. The device, with a killer remote, may make Apple a serious contender in the living room. The device will cost $299 and will ship in February.


Since a month ago I offered you a blow-by-blow prediction of how Steve Jobs¡¯s iPhone theater would unfold, it¡¯s only fair for me to fess up to how things turned out. Feel free to offer your own letter grade below.


I said:

The Entrance:
First Jobs strides onto the stage to wild applause. The audience had been waiting for hours to enter a dark room with hip, moody music piped throughout, and his arrival signals the beginning of the festivities.

It¡¯s like your parents coming downstairs on Christmas morning after you¡¯ve been awake for hours anticipating the gifts. He says some variation of, ¡°We¡¯ve got a lot of cool stuff to show you today, and we¡¯re really excited, so let¡¯s get started.¡±

Oh, boy.

Nailed this one. He didn¡¯t say the thing about a lot of cool stuff to show today, but the reliable Apple (AAPL) CEO did say, ¡°We¡¯re going to make some history together today.¡± I think that counts.

The Setup:
Next, Jobs usually gives a little retrospective. He talks about the products Apple has recently introduced, and how they fit together. He usually gives some numbers to show how well Apple¡¯s retail stores did during the holiday season ¨C he might even single out a flagship store and highlight how many sales it did every hour.

He¡¯ll offer some iPod numbers. He¡¯ll offer some Mac numbers. This year he¡¯ll probably talk about how many movies and TV shows iTunes users have downloaded, to emphasize that Apple has commanding market share of legal video downloads.

This is the point when he usually announces new content partners for iTunes ¨C new movie studios signing on, for instance, or new TV content. Jobs does this early in the show because it¡¯s corporate business ¨C somewhat cool, but not the hands-on stuff consumers really get psyched about.

Nailed this one, too. Jobs talked about how well Apple did on its switch to Intel processors in Macs, recapped retail store numbers, talked about iTunes music downloads, TV downloads and movie downloads. He also talked about how the iPod is the world¡¯s most popular video player. He also announced the latest movie partner for iTunes, Paramount.

The Tease: After that, Jobs typically launches into a software demonstration. This is the time to rehash features of an upcoming operating system release, do a little Windows bashing, and show off a couple of cool new doo-dads in the latest version of OS X.

This is also the time to show off updates to Apple¡¯s iLife suite ¨C programs like iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, etc. He¡¯ll often show off some professional software, too, and some professional hardware. He then starts hinting that the really exciting stuff is next.

Tease? There was no traditional tease! Sure, Jobs did some obligatory Microsoft bashing, by showing off the new Vista-related Mac/PC commercial and pointing out that the Zune fared horribly in its debut against the iPod. But he didn¡¯t show off anything new in OS X and there was nary a mention of iLife. Instead, he would later do a retrospective on the game-changing products Apple has released, and said what he was about to announce would be their equal. Which, indeed, was a big tease in its own way.

The Main Event: This is the product announcement that gets the most hype ¨C it¡¯s typically something accessible and high-volume like an iMac or an iBook with new features and a low price ¨C something the masses can get excited about. This year it might be the iTV. Jobs unveils it, demonstrates it, praises its design, and rolls video of a commercial hawking it and of experts extolling its virtues. He might bring a celebrity out on stage to be dazzled by it. Jobs then recaps the announcements of the day with a satisfied tone, lulling the dazzled audience into a false sense that this is the end.

The iTV (renamed Apple TV) was indeed the main event. Jobs unveiled it, demonstrated it and all that, but didn¡¯t roll video or bring out a celebrity (yet). And he didn¡¯t do the announcement recap. Why bother? He hadn¡¯t announced but one product. He knew what we wanted to hear.

One More Thing: But of course, it¡¯s not the end. As he finishes his recap, Jobs says something like, ¡°But there¡¯s One More Thing,¡± and the words ¡°One More Thing¡± may even appear on the screen behind him. The most experienced Apple watchers and rumormongers have awaited this moment. They¡¯re hoping the ¡°One More Thing¡± will be that ultimate technology advance they¡¯ve been waiting for, the one they¡¯ve predicted for months.

The true believers relax and the cynical ones brace themselves to defend against the full force of Jobs¡¯ legendary ¡°Reality Distortion Field,¡± the mystical aura that sucks you in and makes you believe that Apple is the most beautiful force for goodness and truth and light in the known universe. One More Thing is the biggest gift of the morning, the one that wouldn¡¯t fit under the Christmas tree and had to be kept in a secret spot in the garage, and as Jobs unveils it, and demonstrates it, and praises it, the crowd looks on in slack-jawed amazement, awash in feelings of unworthiness that yet again Steven P. Jobs would deign in such Promethean fashion to bring the unwashed among us such a gift of digital fire.

OK, so he didn¡¯t actually say ¡°One More Thing,¡± probably because he had only announced one thing up to this point. But he did say Apple was bringing us three products ¨C three things it had been working on for two and a half years. Then he showed us that the three were one. The field was in full effect. As expected, the last thing was the iPhone.

This year, in all likelihood, ¡°One More Thing¡± will be the iPhone. This will present some pacing challenges for Jobs, because it¡¯s also the most anticipated and over-hyped product in Apple history and the only thing most people at Macworld will care about. After every announcement leading up to it, the crowd will be thinking, ¡°That¡¯s pretty nice, nifty even. But where¡¯s my iPhone?¡±

I imagine that for Jobs, this will be sort of like dealing with an 8-year-old who wants a pony for Christmas. Even if you get her the pony, she might be disappointed that it isn¡¯t a unicorn.

But if Apple can create an iPod ¡­ surely if it tries hard enough, it can genetically engineer a unicorn?

Please, please, please?

Steve found a nice way to handle the pacing challenges, I must say ¨C he got right to the phone. And indeed, we all wanted that pony bad. The way he demonstrated that iPhone up there ¡­ wow. Sure looked like a genetically engineered unicorn, didn¡¯t it?

It¡¯s that time of year again when the Mac community acts like excited school children on caffeine, awaiting Steve Jobs and co. to appear on stage and let us know what they¡¯ve been getting up to for the past year. Sure, we get the odd keynote throughout the year, but none compare to the keynote at Macworld! Time to put those crystal balls away and read up on whether or not those rumours came true.

Things really started to sink in around 35 minutes before the start of the show as the online Apple store was once again shut down in a routine update that takes place before every keynote. So, what does that mean? New Apple gear my humble folk!

If you¡¯ve read this far without jumping ahead to see what was announced, you¡¯ll be pleased to know that Apple¡¯s popularity is through the roof, as Macworld 2007 had without a doubt the largest audience in attendance compared to past years, so much so that the keynote started later than scheduled due to the large queues waiting outside ¨C Hadley Stern and Chris Seibold of Apple Matters now doubt giving us their account of the atmosphere at a later date.

Facts and figures
Jobs enjoys getting the some-what boring yet sometimes interesting facts and figures out of the way before making any announcements. I¡¯m not sure how but sales figures and iPod market share always seem so much more exciting when they come out of Steve¡¯s mouth ¨C it¡¯s a gift, I¡¯m sure.

The show finally got under way, 15 minutes later than expected, with Steve Jobs informing the open-eared crowd that Apple were today going to make history. After a quickie on how successful the Intel switch was, how ¡°awesome¡± the new iPod line up is and a jibe at Vista to get even Microsoft laughing, the facts started to roll in:

1) Over 2.0 billion songs sold on iTunes worldwide
2) 5 Million songs downloaded each day, equating to 58 songs every second
3) Because of this fact, iTunes is the fourth largest seller of music, selling more than Amazon
4) 50 million T.V shows have been sold through iTunes
5) The first months of opening, over 1.3 million shows sold
6) Paramount being the latest to offer shows through iTunes
7) Zune market share in November at 2% with iPod holding 62%

Products
AppleTV




After the facts Steve began by introducing AppleTV, formally known as iTV. We pretty much saw this one coming and anyone who follows Apple updates closely will already understand how it works. You will be able to buy movies, music, and T.V shows, download them onto your Mac or onto an iPod, and stream them to your television using AppleTV. As always with Apple, the setup is ridiculously simple.

AppleTV allows users to stream content wirelessly, via Wi-Fi, from up to 5 machines, allowing auto-sync with one of those machines. It features:


HDMI Connector/Component cable

Up to 720p High Definition video

40GB drive to store streaming content, allowing recent movies to be stored

G, B and N Wi-Fi networking standards

Simple Apple remote

A demonstration was then shown on stage by Jobs and Schiller how content can be streamed from a guest computer ¨C a simple authentication number is all that is required.

AppleTV will be available in February priced around $299, however Apple are taking orders today for the new device.

Check out the Apple store now for more info.

The iPhone




Apple¡¯s stock has no doubt risen considerably since this announcement was made. Steve Jobs personally claimed that he had been ¡°waiting for this day for 2 and a half years¡±. He quickly ran over products introduced by Apple in the past that have revolutionised the industry and how three more would be announced today, with a widescreen iPod that has touch controls, a mobile phone and a break-through internet communication device ¨C all built into one beautiful contraption called the iPhone. I have personally doubted a mobile phone since the rumours started circulating and I¡¯ve been careful with my words as I never doubted a SmartPhone, although even then I would have said ¡°I never saw this coming¡±, I¡¯m glad I¡¯ve been proved wrong.

The new iPhone features a new technology called ¡°multitouch¡±, invented by Apple Computer, which is to replace plastic keyboards and a stylus as often used on a SmartPhone. During this particular announcement, Steve also mentioned that Apple were the first to invent the mouse, then the click wheel for the iPod and now the ¡°multitouch¡± for the SmartPhone ¨C and if you haven¡¯t gathered by now, there are NO buttons present on the face of this piece of kit accept the home button.

At this point Steve still held off showing images of the new device, offering more information and even a quote from Alan Key, ¡°People who are really serious about software should develop their own hardware¡±, something I dare say Apple have prided themselves on from day one. Some of the features the iPhone has are:


The ability to run OS X, which includes Power Management, security, networking etc

3.5¡± screen with 160PPI (Pixels Per Inch)

A single ¡®Home¡¯ button

11.6mm thin

Built in 2mp camera

3.5mm headset jack

Wi-Fi

Bluetooth 2.0

Sleep/Wake button on top

Volume controls

iPod connector

Sync with iTunes

Dashboard like interface

Allows conference calling

With its slick slide mechanism, you¡¯re able to lock and unlock the phone, much like many slide phones at the moment, the difference is you use your finger on the screen to unlock the device. When viewing album art or a movie, the built in orientation adjustment flips the picture either horizontal or vertical allowing for a perfect visual experience. The killer app in question is, according to Mr Jobs, making phone calls with visual voice mail, using Quad-band GSM/Edge. As with most phones at the minute, a simple voicemail would require you to listen to each voicemail fully before moving onto the next one ¨C I¡¯ve not heard of a service to allow you to flick through what you¡¯d like to listen to at least. With visual voicemail, you¡¯re able to do just that, by selecting which voicemails you¡¯d like to listen to.

Sending a text message appears to be a complete breeze too, as you simply use the on screen touch-screen controls to enter text and Apple claim this to be much easier to use than Blackberry.

Photos were the ¡°in¡± thing for mobile phones before MP3¡¯s hit the scene, but that doesn¡¯t stop Apple from taking a moment to think about them. By simply scrolling with your fingers you¡¯re able to browse photos, allowing the change of orientation, and by ¡°pinching¡± your fingers together you can zoom in or out of an image.

The Internet communications feature allows use of rich HTML and can work with any IMAP or POP3 e-mail service. Whilst you may be weary of your phone network charges when using the internet, you can simply use Wi-Fi to wireless gain access to the ¡®net through your computer. As OS X runs on the iPhone, Safari RSS and Google Maps are both present, allowing up-to-date information on directions and traffic. The transition between Wi-Fi and the cellphone is pretty straightforward as well, as the iPhone can detect and automatically switch to Wi-Fi when necessary.

As mentioned above, Safari RSS is built into the iPhone as part of OS X. Jobs made a point of demonstrating some of the features, most notably the ¡°pinch¡± motion which uses two fingers to zoom in to that area of a page ¨C this is a simple way to combat the small text whilst viewing a full webpage on the 3.5¡± screen.

Jobs showed us his humour mid-way through the conference by using Google Maps to search for a company, in this case Starbucks, and proceeded to call them and jokingly ordered 4000 lattes, of course, he quickly bailed out of the stunt half way through and claimed to have dialled the wrong number ¨C a great way to demonstrate a new product, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll agree.

Whilst I¡¯ve not mentioned audio and video on the iPhone, anyone who has used or knows about the current iPod models will realise how it all works.

To finish things off, Steve Jobs promised 5 hours of talk time and 16 hours of audio playback on the new iPhone, which is comparable to many mobile phones at the minute. With over 200 patents for inventions in the device, it will cost $499 for the 4GB model and $599 for the 8GB model and will feature a variety of accessories. Moans were aired in the audience when it was announced the iPhone will only be available on Cingular with 2-year contracts and won¡¯t be out until June of this year. Whilst the exclusive partner in the U.S is Cingular, it remains to be seen what partners will be used in other countries, although I can bet Vodafone will be the leading contender in the U.K, with O2 following swiftly behind.

Apple Computer is no more...

...Don¡¯t get too worried, who calls them Apple Computer anymore these days anyway? What with the Mac, iPod, AppleTV, iPhone all being on the product list, Apple Computer is officially now called Apple, Inc. Steve Jobs wrapped things up around an hour and 45 minutes after the show started with a thank you to everyone, including the employees of Apple. Just as Steve Jobs introduced John Mayer on stage to play some music to the fantastic crowd, he received a huge standing ovation.

Summary

Whilst there¡¯s no doubt some disappointed folk out there who are wondering what happened to the update on Leopard, I think it¡¯s fair to say Apple Computer Apple, Inc. have definitely delivered this time around with the iPhone. The rumours kept flying in, then flying out, with patents and fake mock ups making the news and of course, the most recent of set-backs, the iPhone already being the name of another phone like device developed by another company - it began to look like it was all just a silly rumour that some drunken school-kid made up, but millions (me) were proved wrong, gracefully.

Whilst no new products have been announced for release today, we can look forward to AppleTV in February and the iPhone in June of this year.

So, readers of AM, what are your thoughts on the announcements? Are you disappointed, overly-joyed or a bit of both? Are you a bit knocked back by the lack of Leopard updates or are you happy to wait out a little longer? We¡¯ll no doubt receive another keynote in a couple of months anyway, so hold your horses until then.
