This time tomorrow we’ll be cranking up the liveblog engine in preparation for Apple’s iPod event, set to kick off at 10AM PST in sunny San Francisco. SlashGear will be bringing you all the news from the event as it happens, courtesy of our automatically-updating liveblog system at http://live.slashgear.com/
As you may have spotted, we’ve had a serious change of style here at SlashGear this weekend. Our new design gives us more room for bigger homepage images, better highlights feature content and editorials, and makes it easier to navigate between our network sites using the topbar. It should also load faster, which means you can get to the latest news in consumer electronics even quicker, and has better integration with the SlashGear Forum, included threaded comments.
We’ve a new voice here at SlashGear, and one we think will bring a fresh and different perspective to our discussion on technology and consumer electronics. Michael Gartenberg is a well known journalist and analyst, currently VP of strategy and analysis at Interpret LLC, and now adding a weekly column for SlashGear to his credits.
Michael has previously worked with Jupiter Research, Gartner Inc. and Microsoft, but here he’ll be offering a topical and outspoken opinion on the biggest news in tech. In the first of his weekly columns, he discusses Google’s new Chrome OS and how after just a day in the public eye it’s already being labeled a “Windows killer”.
Just a reminder – as if you could forget – that the Apple WWDC 2009 kicks off this morning and SlashGear will be live-blogging the whole keynote. Join us at 10am Pacific time (that’s 1pm New York and 6pm London) at http://live.slashgear.com/ where our auto-refresh liveblog system will carry you through the whole event with the minimum of stress.
Next Monday Apple kick off their 2009 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and first thing on the schedule is one of the most eagerly anticipated keynotes of the year. Apple is expected to announce a new, third-generation iPhone Video, and SlashGear will be live-blogging the whole keynote at http://live.slashgear.com/ from 10am PT on Monday June 8th 2009.
It’s Memorial Day here in the US (as well as being a public holiday elsewhere in the world), and that means it’s time to down-gadgets and try to get along with family and friends instead. The SlashGear team will be taking today off, and hope that you can do the same wherever you are. Regular coverage recommences Tuesday May 26th – see you tomorrow!
In roughly nine days time, Google’s I/O Developer Conference, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco will begin. Android Community will be there, bringing you all the news, but thanks to our friends at Google we’ve also got two I/O tickets to give away to SlashGear readers!
The SlashGear team are in Barcelona and we’re ready to bring you all the top stories from Mobile World Congress 2009. Although the last two weeks have been filled with leaks – Samsung, we’re looking at you – and early announcements, we’re still expecting a few interesting surprises. Of course, we’ll also be bringing you hands-on reports, exclusive video and photo galleries of all the biggest launches.
We know that Samsung will be bringing their new flagship feature-phone, the Samsung UltraTOUCH S8300 (aka Samsung Tocco Ultra), as well as a number of other devices, many of which use AMOLED display technology rather than the more traditional (and generally more power-hungry) LCD TFT screens. LG, meanwhile, have their Arena KM900 – which is being heavily advertised across Barcelona – complete with its nifty new 3D GUI.
MWC 2009 predictions after the cut
In a surprise career move, SlashGear co-founder Vincent Nguyen announced today that he would be leaving the technology blogging community and beginning a career in the adult industry. Speaking to a sparse crowd at the Sands Expo this morning, Nguyen described his waning interest in smartphones and iPods, and outlined his intention to bring quickfire lessons learnt in live-blogging to blue movies.
Check out the on-set live action shots of Vincent in action after the cut
It’s Tuesday morning, it’s almost 9am PST, and that can only mean one thing: the SlashGear Macworld 2009 Apple Keynote Liveblog is about to begin. We’re already at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, waiting to go in; there’s no Steve Jobs this time, but that hasn’t reduced attendance with a big queue of journalists.
