I wonder what Apple has to announce today? I love following it every year on CNET. Starts at 1:00 Eastern.

No hardware announcements were made today. They talked about the newest operating system and updates to the mobile operating system.

I am going to watch the replay of the conference this weekend. But from what I have read they are updating both the iPhone/iPad operating system platform, as well as the computer operating system platform. The computer will have the most updates, to lament even more like the iPhone/iPad experience. There will be even more syncing between the two, especially in using the iCloud service to be able to access documents on both. Plus you will be able to access your phone from your computer,which means you can make calls from your computer. I am glad that I have gone everything apple (phone,,pad, computer) because these enhancements will make everything in sync more than they already are. Plus.....both operating systems will be offered as FREE upgrades to those with existing devices.

I followed most of the keynote on cnet and am going to watch the replay also this weekend. I love that we'll be able to receive non Apple texts on iPads and my Mac now. I don't have my phone ""hooked to my hip"" when I'm at home as we have a landline. It might be hours and I'll look and see that I have a text from someone who doesn't have an iPhone. Now that text will show up on my iPad and Mac. I'm thrilled about that.

I ended up watching the video on the apple website last last night. Very cool stuff. I agree with you about the ability to get SMS messages on the computer too. Like you, I synced messages with all of my devices. It is great when a blue bubble person texts while I am on the computer. I can respond right there. The green bubble people always caused me to have to get up and find my phone when I heard the text alarm go off. And if I didn't hear the text alarm, I sometimes missed the message until I checked my phone again. Will love that all blue and green messages all sync to all devices. I also love that we will be able to make calls right from the computer too. So many times I look something up, like a store or restaurant, and need to grab my phone to call for more information.
