1:59 Nike Air Jordan ad shows interactivity - shake to dunk
1:58 Shows in-ad purchases. Ugh, I have a feelingmy eyes are going to be seeing a lot more ads and I'm going to be wasting a lot more time watching them.
1:55 Toy Story shows off the interactie ad possibilities. Ads for games, adds for books, ads for movies
1:54 A billion ad opportunities a day Apple has. IF you consider 30 minutes/day times all of the iPhones out there.
1:54 Mobile Advertising will help more apps be free. So far advertising sucks in Apps - Apple wants to help (Diss to Admob/Adsense - Google)

1:45 Enterprise. Better email security, multple exchange accounts, SSL VPN
80% of Fortune 500 companies already use iPhone or are testing
1:42 iBooks for iPhone - not big surprise. But certainly ticks off another advantage to Amazon's advantages. I don't think I'd use this but many pepe will.
1:40 Unified inbox for email
1:35 Threaded messages
1:34 Open Attachements with apps
1:32 Background location being shown. Great for GPS apps obviously. Tracking locator in the status bar at the top. Location services will tell you which app has asked for your location in the last 24 hours (good for privacy)
1:30 Skype shows their app working in the Voice background. Apple has finally really embraced VoIP. AT&T can't be too happy.

"Seven multitasking services.1: background audio streaming. (Pandora or Spotify come to mind)

1:00: Starting
12:55: Everyone is heading in.
12:52 I think today is going to be some bad news for original iPhone and iPhone 3G model owners (myself included). I don't think they'll get the same update everyone else does.
12:47 ET. 15 minutes to go...
12:30 Gruber posts his last second guesses. No surprises - seems reasonable.
