Thanks for sticking with us. We’ve had some pretty big hiccups with our servers along the way. More reaction posts to follow. Stay tuned.

2:39pm - Last big announcement, and we’re done: 4S will be available on Sprint! No iPhone 5.

2:38pm – iPhone 4S release date: October 14th, pre-orders on October 7th. US, Canada, Australia, UK, France, Germany and Japan.

2:37pm – iPhone 4 will be available f0r $99, 3GS still available, for free.

2:36pm -“So that’s the iPhone 4S. Black and white, 16GB for $199, 32GB for $299, and 64GB for $399. 64GB is the first time in an iPhone.”

2:27pm – It’s essentially an iOS butler.

2:25pm - Still talking about Siri… “Compose and dictate email right to Siri. Set timers. Look up contacts, create notes, search the web, search Wikipedia.”

2:24pm – Siri is a big deal. You can do almost anything just by using your voice. Search Wikipedia or Wolfram Alpha for definitions, or topics.

2:23pm – “This is blow-away. I just checked my calendar, scheduled a meeting, and got it all read back by Siri.” It’s like Knight Rider’s phone..

2:20pm - “With Siri, you can just ask Siri to read your messages to you.”

2:16pm - Siri, voice control to the extreme, sounds great. You can ask it “what’s the weather like today?” and it’ll tell you.

2:14pm - One more thing… Voice (Siri)! “For decades technologists have teased us with this dream that we can talk to our technology. But it’s never come true! It’s such a let-down! What we really want to do is just talk to our device!”

2:10pm - 1080p video recording, and much faster shutter speed than its competitors.

2:07pm - Apparently has a fantastic lens. Can let in a lot of light.

2:06pm – “CMOS backside illuminated sensor — gets 73% more light than the iPhone 4 sensor, and 1/3rd faster. On top of that, we place a high-end IR filter for greater accuracy and uniformity.”

2:05pm - New camera, 8mp!

2:04pm - It’s a worldphone. (Both GSM and CDMA)

2:02pm - Download speeds up to 14.4mbps

2:00pm – Better battery life, even with the enhanced processor. Improved antenna. “Our engineering team has worked really hard to advance the state of the art that’s never been done in a phone before. It can now intelligently switch between two antennas between send and receive to make even better call quality.”

1:57pm – Usual Apple arrogance. “It’s a breakthrough device.” No, it isn’t. It’s an iPhone 4 with a faster chip.

1:56pm - Same 3.5″ Retina display. New A5 processor. “Dual-core CPU, 2x as fast at CPU tasks. Also dual-core graphics. Up to 7x faster in the previous iPhone. One area you really see it scream is in games.”

1:55pm – New iPhone!! Finally. And (drum roll please) – it’s the iPhone 4S!

1:54pm – iPod Touch will come in white and black: 8GB, 32GB and 64GB. For $199, $299 and $399 respectively.

1:44pm - iCloud will be officially released on October 12th.

1:42pm - “Find my Friends” allows you to stalk/track/follow your friends. They do need inviting though.

1:41pm - iCloud backups once per day: calendars, apps, photos etc.

1:38pm - Going through all the stuff mentioned at WWDC. Documents in the cloud, photos and all that jazz.

1:37pm – On to iCloud…

1:36pm - iOS 5 will launch on October 12th. 8 days!

1:32pm - Newsstand, something we haven’t seen yet in iOS 5 betas, will have GQ, Allure, Vanity Fair, NYT etc. It’s like iBooks for newspapers.

1:28pm - iOS 5 time. Scott running down iOS 5 features: Reminders, iMessage etc..

1:27pm - Apologies for the slowness. iPhone is causing the internet to break..

1:26pm - What we came to see (sarcasm), Apple is launching a new “Cards” app. Lets you make greeting cards.

1:25pm - “All of this together makes the App Store the number one store for mobile apps.”

12:41pm – As I’ve been expecting, apparently iPhone 4S is due for launch on October 14th. (Just a rumor right now.) One of my sources told me the same thing yesterday, he said it was an “educated guess”. (Didn’t want to get in to trouble.)
