Recently the WWDC 2009 was held and as usual Apple had a whole host of announcements for all us fans. To be honest I had forgotten all about this but watched the Apple Keynote the other day. So what did they have to offer us then?

Well, as usual with any Apple announcement, there were a lot of rumours flying around, but we’ll stick with what was actually said. Firstly they announced that Snow Leopard would be released for $29! That’s $29 for a whole operating system! Unbelievable value for money in my opinion. It will be available in September.

They also announce a new iPhone - The iPhone 3G S (The S stands for speed). This new iPhone will have the already announced 3.0 firmware which has a whole host of exciting features. I’ve written about that before on this blog, so won’t go into too much details about that, but I will mention a few things that I think are important to cover again.

• Tethering - The 3.0 Firmware will allow you to tether your iPhone to a Mac or PC and use it as a modem. This is an excellent announcement. No longer will we all have to buy separate dongles!
• Peer to Peer - This will allow iPhones to connect to each other. Excellent for game playing!
• Cut, Copy, Paste - This speaks for itself really. The ability to (finally) cut, copy and paste on the iPhone.
• MMS - This is the best announcement for me. The ability to send picture messages.

All exciting stuff I have to say. But when are these brand new things going to be available to us the consumers? Well we don’t have to wait that long at all. It will all be available next week!!

On the 17th of June the 3.0 Firmware update will be available for free to iPhone customers. The new iPhone 3G S will be available in the UK on the 19th of June.

Next week could become an expensive one.
