24 hours...

plus or minus a couple of hours and the rumor mill is flying over what will happen when...WWDC opens.

It made me feel all warm and fuzzy to see the pictures of Moscone West on the web today. The sad part is I used to drive there and watch the setup and even participate in it for MacWorld. Now sitting in Arizona in 101 degree heat, it makes me long for the fog drifiting in over the BAY.

Any company reading this blog, I am available for work in the Bay Area, so don't be bashful. Just email me at ceo@docmurdock.com and let's chat about a nice yearly salary of $100K and up, and a nice home in Sausalito over looking the Bay (preferably 129 Prospect Ave) and my wife and I will pack up and come back to live in TechLand.

On the side of the iPhone...we're excited to see what's coming tomorrow. The launch of the app store would be a nice thing. Having the ability to synch what apps you want onto the iphone would be cool. Say you don't want some things, leaving them off would be nice, but something tells me that most things will need to be in firmware to be speedy enough to run. Otherwise you're at the mercy of the processor and how fast it can do things.

Multi-tasking would be handy as well, and why can't I get EDGE data for GoogleMaps while I am on the phone? That would be nice...so a pseudo-GPS for the current phone would be cool. What about the ability to bring your current phone in and trade it for a new one for a nominal fee...say $50.00? Then the old phones could be refreshed and sold to others for a low price. Sort of a phone-recylcing program.

Apps-wise...small improvements in Mail...the ability to delete more than one message...the ability to sort your email accounts in preferences...contact sorting and/or/searching would be cool...Hmmm...let me think on this for a bit and perhaps I will drop something in here later on today.
