SAN FRANCISCO, California — (GROUNDREPORT) Apple is certainly doing something right. The keynote speech of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, known as WWDC 2008, may be hours away, but the blogosphere is already alight with speculation.
Below, the top 7 liveblogging sites to stay obsessively up-to-date.
What are the rumormongers twittering about? The next iPhone, almost certain to be unveiled by head maestro Steve Jobs in the coming hours. What will it do? How will it look? Everyone is certain the iPhone 2 will be 3G and GSP enabled to compete with Blackberry Smartphones.
Engadget has suggested it will have a glossy black case, but MacRumors thinks it’s probably just a case. They do, however, assert it will cost a mere $199, compared to the nearly $500 pricetag of its predecessors.
Already today Samsung has unveiled Omnia, its answer to the iPhone, designed to coincide with the release of iPhone 2.
