We're liveblogging Ford CEO Alan Mulally's IFA keynote at 11AM ET!

IFA’s doors opened to the public today, and the show is marking the occasion with a keynote from Ford CEO Alan Mulally (and yes, we’ve met before). Not only will the perennial subject of the connected car be discussed, but we’re told a brand-new concept vehicle and a handful of announcements are slated for the event. We’re also expecting the firm’s head honcho to provide an update on Ford SYNC AppLink. The outfit’s ​Jim Buczkowski, director of Electrical and Electronic Systems for Advanced Research and Engineering, and Ed Pleet, director of Connected Services for Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa, will join Mulally on stage as well. Join us here for the latest from IFA.

Apple confirms September 10th iPhone event, and we’ll be there live!

Apple confirms September 10th iPhone event, and we'll be there live!

The next iPhone will be (presumably) unveiled on September 10th, as hinted at on the Apple-delivered invite that you see above. When the curtains pull back, it’ll be nearly a year to the day since the iPhone 5 was ushered into reality, and it’ll no doubt be a monumentally important day for the company. Particularly compared to the barrage of products Apple introduced in 2012 — iPad mini, iPhone 5, the MacBook Pro with Retina display, enhanced MacBook Air / iMac / Mac mini lines, a redesigned iPod nano, a revised iPad / iPod touch / Apple TV, ad OS X Mountain Lion — 2013 has been eerily quiet. Outside of a tweaked iPhone 5 for T-Mobile’s network, a Haswell-infused MacBook Air and a tease of the next-generation Mac Pro, we’ve been left with little more than hopes for newly-inspired versions of iOS and OS X.

That changes on the 10th of September, as at the very least, we’re expecting a next-gen iPhone to hit the stage. We’ll also be holding out hope for an oh-so-colorful lower-end iPhone 5C for emerging markets — markets where Android and even Windows Phone are the platforms of choice for communities making the move into the smartphone era. We wouldn’t put it past Apple to also revise its iPad line while it’s at it, and naturally, iOS 7 should be just about primed for release to the masses. As you’d expect, we’ll be on hand in Cupertino in order to liveblog every second of the action, and we’d invite you to cast your best guesses on what’s to come in comments below.

iWork for iCloud beta now open to anyone with an Apple ID

iWork for iCloud beta now open to anyone with an Apple ID

First it was available to developers, then a select few who received invitations, and now the beta of iWork for iCloud is available for all. Apple’s made no official announcement, but point your browser to icloud.com, punch in your Apple ID details, and there you have it: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Seeming as you normally have to pay for the iWork software suite, this could be a time-sensitive public beta that’ll be pulled once you’ve found all the bugs (this editor has full access without owning any of the iWork programs). So, you might as well have a go at being productive in the cloud before it’s too late.

Google’s breakfast with Sundar Pichai liveblog

Google's breakfast with Sundar Pichai liveblog

We’ve been invited to a breakfast with Sundar Pichai, the man with the [Chrome and Android] plan, and we think we know what you’re dying to find out: will we feast together on bran muffins or jelly donuts? Coffee or orange juice? Kidding aside, we imagine one of the biggest fellas on Google campus doesn’t just want to have us over for tea, so we’re going to be there with our liveblogging hats on, ready to get you all of the latest product announcements and other news at a second’s notice. Perhaps Android 4.3 and the latest Nexus 7? Or is it something else entirely? Will there be dancing?

Apple sends iWork for iCloud beta invitations to everyday users

Apple sends iWork for iCloud beta invitations to everyday users

Apple was quick to invite developers to the iWork for iCloud beta in the aftermath of WWDC, but us commoners have had to settle for watching from afar. The company is quickly opening things up, however — it just started sending out beta invitations to ordinary iCloud users, including some Engadget readers. While this isn’t likely to represent Apple’s promised public beta, it’s clear that we’re now much closer to the day when everyone can give the web-based iWork a try.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
