The WWDC Keynote has been over for a few hours now. I stayed in the TUAW chat room until about 11:00 PST, then I took off to do some laundry. I apologize to anyone who wanted me while I was gone.

As expected, iGod Steve Jobs presented on various things, ranging from the various new apps to the iPhone itself. I really don’t want to rehash what has been said a million times. You can get the actual summaries from Gizmodo, Engadget, TUAW, or any other place. I’m just talking about my thoughts here.

The Apps

I cared for only one thing: The blogging software. I had heard rumors of software for blogging making it to the iPhone’s 2.0 release, but very little about it. The blogging software was made by Six Apart, who debuted their software for working with Typepad. Now, as I’m about to tell Six Apart, I don’t have anything against Typepad or MovableType (Apart from the price tag,) but considering that Wordpress is also kind of a big thing, I was hoping that I’d see a WP app. No matter. We’ll see one soon enough, I suppose.

UPDATE: The Blogit software will work with multiple blogging platforms, as Six Apart personally said to me in a Twitter DM.

They also debuted an expansion for iWork, so it now works with MS Office documents like word, Excel and the like. I likey. It even lets you rehearse your PowerPoint! Now I can write a Jobs-style presentation, and preview it on my Jobs-style iTouch! Definitely good.

Other apps I didn’t really care about included the games (Never played Super Monkey Ball) and the medical software. Yes, medical software. Doctors and nurses now can save your life, and look hip doing it at the same time. Again: No.

I’d like to ask something: How easy is it to work with the iPhone SDK? When I was in the IRC room using mIRC, I missed scripting and rigging stuff like that up (I used to be a decent programmer, but could never write GUI.) How is GUI creation? If it’s easy, I might just start developing a few little things for the iPhone.

The JesusPhone itself

Then there was the main event: The new, improved, iPhone 2….I hate to say this, but big deal. Yeah, 3G, GPS, and all that cool stuff, but honestly, this isn’t enough to convince me to get in a line to buy this thing. If it were a flip phone, probably. Since it ain’t, I ain’t buying. I’m keeping (i)Touch with reality.

Still, they did add some good stuff to the firmware: The App store, a new scientific calculator, Contact search and other things….but I have a slight problem with it all….HOW COME iPHONE USERS GET IT FOR FREE, WHEN ITOUCH USERS HAVE TO PAY 10 BUCKS FOR IT? HUH?

Come on, Steve, I paid good money for your chic toy, I expect to be treated equal to the phone users. Why the price? It’s not fucking fair. I want an explanation from someone, and not “It’s his thing, he can do what he wants.” Oh, and cool that the phone’s subsidized now, but it bites that I have to get a contract with AT&T to do it.

By the way, not happy about how Apple ceased selling refurb iPhones. Would have liked that.

All in all, that, with the fact that this all happens next July leaves for a very disappointing WWDC keynote. I expected better from iGod, and iChurch.
