WWDC Keynote: G5 PowerMacs, iChat AV, Panther, More...

At the 2003 WWDC Keynote, Steve Job introduced Mac developers/users to the future of the Mac Platform... with a preview of Panther and well as the announcement of the new PowerMac G5's.



The live-transcript provides the details, but the hilights include:



Panther Demo - with new features including FileVault, Expose, Fast PDF Viewing, revamped Finder and more...

iChat AV - with video/audio capabilities

iSight - Apple Web Cam

PowerMac G5's - Announced, Shipping in August.

New Quicktime Codec (Pixlets)

Safari Gold



The coverage was provided on IRC as well as live Web updates on both MacRumors.com and Chaosmint.com servers. I'd like to thank the users who volunteered their services. N30 and thegeek187 provided IRC transcription on Krono.net. Jammerb provided live audio so the keynote could be transcribed live at this site. As well, as the many ops/moderators/networks and other users offering assistance.



Individual articles detailing the products above will be coming, as well as a rumor wrapup ("Winners and Losers").

Looks like we got the Pentium-killers we all wanted. Even the single-processor models are 20-30 percent faster than a 3 GHz Dell in some tests.

Other news that may have fallen through the cracks: Safari 1.0 (v85) is out, and it's official. There's not even the "bug" button.

I have two months two save up. Good thing I don't have much of a social life...easier to hoard money.

One question...do we really think the camera REQUIRES a 600 or faster G3? My Powerbook is 500...

Think there will be a lull in G4 sales during July?

How do you fit 9 fans in a Powerbook?

This went way beyond my expectations.

I've been checking back to see how long it would take for someone to complain that there were no Power Book updates.

Who will it be?

It's well worth it for that price. I can't see anyone who does graphics work not getting the Dual 2Ghz.

Debt, here I come!!!!!
