Thanks for following Digital Possibilities’ Liveblog!

13.53 - Richard

Note, no changes announced to the overall interaction mode – homepage stays the same, as does multitasking view. These changes might make more sense when announced in the fall release of iPhone 5 http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.53 - Richard

iOS 6 is a great update to the current iOS 5 with lots of good new services. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.51 - Richard

There will be no transit instructions in iOS 6 maps. That is a shame as the current app offers the best integrated instructions when using multiple companies like the AMT and RTL. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.47 - Richard

I’ll be able soon to junk my horrid Garmin Sat Nav. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.43 - Richard

Automatic traffic re-routing. Fabulous! That will improve the overall efficiency of the road network http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.42 - Richard

New traffic view, turn by turn and in car integration means iPhone will be fantastic for drivers! A big plus. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.41 - Richard

Awesome! Maps has traffic service. This is my number one use of the maps app. Hopefully will work in Canada http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.40 - Richard

New iOS maps application is rather beautiful! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.36 - Richard

OMG – that’s huge! Passbook has just removed the need to carry around a ton of loyalty cards! Big step towards electronic wallets. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.35 - Richard

Commenting on photos in photostream is a great addition, and probably a first move in the direction of commenting on documents through iCloud. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.33 - Richard

Shared Photostreams! Great for my household. Is this the beginning of sharing of Apple IDs? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.32 - Richard

That’s a really nice feature – iOS can tell users that a site has an app. better to drive app downloads (good for Apple), and will hopefully get rid of those horrible and badly conceived interstitals. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.30 - Richard

2/3rds of all mobile web traffic is coming from Safari aka iOS devices. Design for iOS first. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.29 - Richard

FaceTime on cellular! Bye bye bad Skype calls! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.28 - Richard

I like that Apple has found ways to continue to innovate basic phone call functionality. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.27 - Richard

I know many people who will be happy with the “Do not Disturb” functionality. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc #ios6

13.25 - Richard

Actually quite deep integration of Facebook throughout iOS, calendars, contacts… so when is Apple buying Facebook? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.25 - Richard

Siri and Facebook integration. Will help postings while driving your new car. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.24 - Richard

Great, Facebook integration from apps just like they’ve done with Twitter. This will be a great help. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.23 - Richard

Facebook is coming to iOS 6. Awesome! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.22 - Richard

Des gros nouvelles ! Siri va parler le Québécois. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.21 - Richard

Awesome! Siri will be available in cars. This is huge – I am sure people will buy cars for the convenience of being able to use their phone hands free http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.19 - Richard

The biggest question about Siri is whether it will be able to understand me correctly in iOS 6. It is still not good enough in iOS 5 http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.19 - Richard

Siri can launch apps! That is great. Hopefully it can compose a tweet http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.15 - Richard

Or a Canadien fan of course! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc #Montreal

13.15 - Richard

Siri can now do sports scores. A lot of people will find that super attractive. I mean, won’t it look great in the ads if you are a Man U or New York Giants fan? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.14 - Richard

75% of iOS customers are very satisfied – much better than the competition. This will keep iOS going for years http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.12 - Richard

365 million iOS devices through March. Android is activating 900,000 a day. That’s 284 million more for Apple #wwdc

13.11 - Richard

Forstall up to talk about iOS

13.09 - Richard

.99 for Mountain Lion. Take that Microsoft. A great way to keep customers on the latest version of the OS. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.08 - Richard

Safari now has Baidu search support for the Chinese market. That’s really important – China will soon be / is already the second most important market for Apple. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.06 - Richard

Looks like Cloud document sharing hasn’t made it to iCloud this year. Not too much of a surprise, but still a disappointment. Apple needs to move to add this feature before all other app suites get it. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.04 - Richard

AirPlay mirroring is a great addition. Everyone I know who uses AirPlay loves it. We’ll use it in our offices. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

13.03 - Richard

Working dictation on a Mac will be amazing, if it really works. Will help creatives work faster. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.57 - Richard

iCloud tabs will allow you to browse a webpage on the desktop and then automatically carry on on the iPad. How will that work with desktop versus mobile versions of sites? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.56 - Richard

Safari gets a unified search field.!Halleluia I hope on iOS too. Let’s see. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.54 - Richard

Notifications are disabled if you connect into a projector. This kind of attention to detail is amazing. Often see new email notifs on Windows machines on projectors. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.53 - Richard

Notifications on OS X is good. Remember to turn them off though otherwise they will be a productivity sap! It’s more a glorified log, but good to have. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.52 - Richard

Real time updating of documents between different devices with iCloud. Shows that the foundation of this technology is very solid (and expandable to sharing??) http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.49 - Richard

New reminders app particularly for OS X was a must have. Glad to see it, glad Calendar will be simpler. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.48 - Richard

Documents in the cloud. Could this be sharing of documents? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.46 - Richard

iCloud coming up. The right evolution of this product is critical to Apple http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.46 - Richard

60 million users on OS X – that’s a large addressable market equivalent to 1/5 the US population (Twice Canada’s!) http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.45 - Richard

Moving on to OS X – what’s going to power this beautiful new #NGMBP? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.44 - Richard

99 for a starting config. That’s a lot of money, but it’s amazing machine. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc #NGMBP

12.43 - Richard

Lots of comments on the price of the #NGMBP – everyone expecting it to be expensive. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.39 - Richard

Only downside to #NGMBP is it’s 15″ and not 13″. Maybe to accommodate the Retina display with pixel doubling? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.37 - Richard

I think Apple has just re-invented Laptop computers. Competitors were already struggling to match the Airs, they’re really going to have a hard time matching this. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.35 - Richard

Up to 16GB of RAM. That must be an amazingly fast notebook, with 758GB of flash drive space. A great speed boost if you’re a professional. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.32 - Richard

Wow! Adobe is on time with Photoshop. That’s pretty amazing! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.31 - Richard

The whole Apple line is being targeted very much at photographers. The new NG MBP will be a huge boon for them. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.30 - Richard

Reduced glare too. That’s a major improvement, fruit of doing the same for the iPad not doubt. This is where Apple’s synergies bring value http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.29 - Richard

15.4 inch with a 2880 x 1880 screen. That’s a really high pixel density. Amazing stuff. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.28 - Richard

NextGen MBP, really thin, really night and with a Retina Display. Wow! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.26 - Richard

Looks like the Next Gen MBP will have everything you could want! I’ll take back my disappointment remark!

12.25 - Richard

There’s a next generation Macbook Pro. Could this be the dream machine? http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.24 - Richard

No great improvements to the Macbook line. Only incremental. There will be a lot of disappointment with that. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.22 - Richard

No Retina Display on the MacBook Air and only 4GB. A bit disappointing, but a bit cheaper, faster and still great machines. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.21 - Richard

USB 3 added, it’s a no brainer, but Apple has reduced the number of ports making their solution more elegant. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.19 - Richard

Big improvements to the Macbook Air’s storage capacity! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.18 - Richard

Phil Schiller taking about hardware http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.18 - Richard

Hardware and OS updates coming today! http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.18 - Richard

Tim is spinning the idea that the iOS platform allows Devs to participate in Apple’s wider vision of improving society. http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.14 - Richard

Nice examples from Apple on how applications are enhancing what we can do as a society to move forward http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.13 - Richard

Apps used by universities and schoolchildren. The potential user base for apps is so much wider.
http://bit.ly/LfRSmV #wwdc

12.08 - Richard

Billion is a lot of extra money in the global economy. Much in the hands of small developers.

12.06 - Richard

650K iOS apps and 225K for the iPad. Those are big numbers and show why iOS is doing so well. #wwdc

12.05 - Richard

1000 Apple developers on site. That’s an incredible amount of access #wwdc

12.02 - Richard

Looks like Siri will be taking centre stage at this years #wwdc

11.58 - Richard
