A humorous look behind the scenes at the Let’s Talk iPhone event
The rumors have been spiralling out of control this week and if you are like me, you just want the event to start. Luckily the guys at Joy of Tech have decided to lighten the mood with a cartoon showing what they believe will go on behind the scenes at the Let’s Talk iPhone event. It’s all just a little but of fun and a break from the constant rumor and speculation….Enjoy!

Poll: What do you think Apple will announce at Let’s Talk iPhone?
In a few hours Apple will hold their Let’s Talk iPhone event and we’ll have our answers. Right now, there’s still time for some last minute speculative fun. So put your cards on the table and vote for what you think Apple will announce (not what you want — that’s all glowing Apple logos and voice activation — but what you realistically think Apple will show off). Then jump in the comments and give me the details so come this afternoon we can see who got the closest!
The Best Way to Hear About the New iPhone(s): Spoiler-Free
Due to the popularity of our previous spoiler-free post, we will continue the trend as promised. The basic gist of “spoiler-free” is that participants watch the keynote video before reading about anything that has happened, which does take some effort to avoid. However, if you are planning to watch the keynote video anyway it is in a sense more entertaining to not know exactly what comes next and to leave room open for surprises.
Read the full spoiler-free description below:
“Spoiler-free” is really for the geeks and fanboys, as you have to actually avoid practically every news site (that includes AOL and Yahoo) while Apple prepares the video that is recorded during the event for streaming.
The reason why you would want to go “spoiler-free” is simple: you get to watch everything being unveiled with potential for surprises rather than reading it all off in a list. If you are planning to watch the video afterwards anyway, then why not go into it without knowing which rumors pan out, what we have completely overlooked, and the smaller details that will shake up the industry?
We do have to give credit to
If you would like to participate, stay away from news sites, as they all will have covered the event (that includes our homepage). Also, Apple will send an email filled with details to newsletter subscribers so subscribers may want to be cautious while checking email. Don’t scroll down the page, as the columns on the right will undoubtedly give details away. It is highly recommended to set this post as your browser homepage so you will know the moment that the keynote video is up.
Yes, this is not effortless and may seem ridiculous to some, but to a select few including myself, it is worthwhile to be able to watch announcements presented (in one of Apple’s famous, arguably entertaining keynotes) without prior knowledge.
As soon as the keynote video is available online tomorrow night (usually at around 7pm EST, but that is not guaranteed), you will find the link to watch it below in an update to this post.
Apple said to be working on an iPad video app to compete with cable providers
I’m hearing that Apple is working on a new iPad app that looks a lot like DirecTV without the dish, too. Again, that app will have Steve Jobs’ fingerprints all over it as it will be more expansive than the press is expecting in its content availability. There’s a reason Apple built a 500,000-square-foot datacenter (about twice the size of a Facebook one, by the way) and that new datacenter is for video and the data that video causes to be shared with everyone.
As today’s event is called “Let’s Talk iPhone”, I am not sure that this will be the place to announce such an app. More to the point, surely this service would be more suited to the Apple TV than the iPad? I guess we will have to wait and see, not much longer now!
