Live from Panasonic’s CES press event

Alright, we’re crammed into Panasonic’s press event, ready for the company to lay some knowledge down on us — most likely of the 3D variety. We should be starting in a few minutes, so sit back, relax and enjoy all the fruits a profitable relationship with James Cameron’s Avatar can offer — along with plenty other flatter technologies, to be sure.

Microsoft to reveal HP built Courier slate tomorrow?

It was 2001 that Bill Gates first introduced the Tablet PC in Las Vegas. Tomorrow will see the launch of what could be Microsoft’s next take on the Tablet PC right here at CES if the New York Times is correct. According to “people familiar with Microsoft’s plans,” Steve Ballmer will introduce an HP-built “slate-type computer” during the opening CES keynote. The rumored device is said to be a “multi-media whiz with e-reader and multi-touch functions” in tow that could be available by mid year. So what will it be? The Courier supported by a full-suite of content partners, or will it be just another Windows tablet in search of mass market acceptance? You’ll find out tomorrow right here at Engadget.

Apple might be planning keynote for week of September 7th, might have new products on offer

We’re hearing “multiple sources” are now reporting that Apple is most likely planning a keynote event — possibly for the week of September 7th. There’s also the requisite murmuring that one Steve Jobs may make an appearance — though of course, there’s also nothing more solid than wishes and fairy dust to back that one up. As far as possible product launches go, well, there have been significant whisperings about upcoming iPod / iTunes developments as of late, including the company’s reported dealings with major record labels. This would fall in line with Apple’s habit of releasing iPods every fall, and we’ve heard plenty about upcoming iPod touches which boast, among other things — a camera and microphone. Daring Fireball has also reported that these bad boys will come in 16, 32 and 64GB varieties running $199, $299, and $399, respectively. In more salacious gossip, there’s the possible Apple tablet we’ve been hearing about, but there’s no solid word on any products for now. We’ll be watching this one closely, we assure you.

Read – Here it Comes. But what is it, exactly?

Live Blogging the Keynote: Apples Worldwide Developers Conference 2009

tgr-wwdc-2009-iphone-graphic-rumor-round-up.pngThe Apple WWDC: For developers, it’s another opportunity to join the thousands of application makers who want to be part of the Apple ecosystem. But for fans and customers, it’s another opportunity for Apple to release some cool new toys.
 
Anticipation of a new iPhone is running high; the Wall Street Journal‘s Walt Mossberg virtually confirmed that he had one in his hot little hands. New rumored capabilities include video recording,  uploading to YouTube, and movie downloads via Wi-Fi; plus improved battery life. (“Rumors roundup” image courtesy of TGRBlog.com; click to enlarge.)
 
It’s been just about a year since the release of the iPhone 3G, which solved the problems associated with the first iPhone: namely, lack of a high-speed 3G connection. But as you’ll note in our review, some of the first iPhone 3Gs were plagued with reception and delay problems.
 
Sascha Segan and I will be in San Francisco, huddled in line along with the rest of the Apple faithful. Sometime before 10 A.M. Pacific, 1 P.M. Eastern, we’ll take our places in the Moscone Center auditorium, waiting for the next update to the iPhone, and possibly Apple’s lineup of iPods as well. Join us then for our live blog of the event!

Engadget & Joystiq live from Sony’s E3 2009 keynote

We’ve teamed up with Joystiq for live coverage of E3, and Sony’s keynote is rounding out the big three. The event is scheduled to start at around 2PM ET / 11AM PT.

10:27AM PT:
We’re live at the Shrine Auditorium, waiting to take our seats and begin the ritualistic dance we both know as a “liveblog.” Will there be a PS3 price cut? Will it be “PSP Go!” or “PSP D’oh!”? We don’t know yet, but you will as we cover Sony’s presser live. Follow along with your bingo card and make your Sony predictions in comments!

Apple confirms WWDC keynote time, Phil Schiller leading the way

The anticipation is palpable, sure, but those hoping for a Steve Jobs comeback at this year’s WWDC should be prepared for disappointment. Apple just affirmed that this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference will indeed kick off on Monday, June 8th, and the keynote address will be given at 10:00AM PT (so 1:00PM here on the right coast, and 7:00AM on the gorgeous isle of Maui). The big news, however, isn’t that we’ll be there live for every last word (’cause you already knew that, yes?) — it’s that Philip Schiller and company, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will be manning the address, offering devs an “in-depth” look at iPhone OS 3.0 and OS X Snow Leopard. In fact, attendees can expect a “final Developer Preview release” of the forthcoming OS, but you’ll have to wait a few weeks yet to get details beyond that.
