Is that an iWatch we spy? No.
Ahh, the smell of OS updates is in the air! Must be WWDC 2014 day, the day when Apple makes all our dreams come true by changing the font on the Calendar app slightly and trying to make us all sign up to bigger iCloud accounts.
That's right, it's keynote time: and what are we expecting to hear from Apple today? We'll be honest, it's a mixed bag.
  • Tune in at 6pm BST / 10am PST / 1am AEST
08.59 - Wonder what this is referring too? Eight new devices to be shown off? The number of times Tim Cook will address Dre as "The Doctor" during his keynote? Or maybe, just maybe, it might have something to do with iOS 8 - probably not though.

08.51 (San Fran time) - We're in the glorious "holding area" of the Moscone West centre in San Francisco waiting with the pack of assorted press from around the world for the main doors to open at 09.00.
That's a full hour before WWDC 2014 kicks off, so plenty of time to elbow our way to the front and attempt to storm the stage.

Spoiler alert

After the retail updates that nobody cares about and the reminder that Quite A Lot Of People now use iPhones, Tim Cook and co will probably announce some upgraded Macs and MacBooks and a new version of OS X Mavericks named after another California surf spot.
Then, after exhaustively running through the minutiae of that, we'll hear about iOS 8 and its Healthbook app. There'll be some vague hints about what the iPhone 6 will be capable of, but it's very unlikely that Apple will actually announce a new iPhone today.
Then come the wildcards: could Tim Cook finally let us in on the cosmic joke that is the iWatch? Will he announce an Internet Of Things friendly standard for the iHome so you can control your future fridges with your iPhone?
Will Dre come out and drop Still D.R.E. with Eddy Cue filling in for Snoop?
There is no way to know until the whole shebang kicks off. So join us here for our liveblog at 6pm BST / 10am Pacific / 1am June 3 Australian Eastern time - or join in the fun over on Twitter.
  • In the meantime: here's a more exhaustive list of what to expect from WWDC 2014

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Samsung Level In Review

Samsung Level In Review Are we shocked that Samsung wants to be taken more seriously in the mobile audio accessories business? Not really, seeing that they’re known to meddle in several consumer electronics affairs. From smartphones to refrigerators, Sammy has amassed quite a venture that’s not stopping or slowing down any time soon. Very recently, we reported that Samsung introduced a new line of high-end mobile optimized audio series , Level, which spans a wide array of options. In this review, we’re taking a look at a premium in-ear solution – the Samsung Level In. For something priced above the $100 mark, the Samsung Level In doesn’t look or feel premium, which is a sad realization. Visually, it looks exactly like almost any other ordinary pair of headphones that come with the purchase of a smartphone – so there’s nothing too special here. Donning a white finish, one that’s comprised out of plastic, the Level In has a hollow feel. Indeed, there are chrome acce...

The release of all of this information is quite a proof that Xiaomi is trying to gain as much attention as possible for the successful launch of its flagship device.
