Apple announces that God says his believers can use the iPhone to contact him.

Analysts disappointed that Apple didn't get an exclusive – prayer still works.

A decent round up with one unfortunate phrase early on:

If what is revealed is a beta SDK, as rumored, there will widespread disappointment.

A beta today of a stunning tool will not disappoint the real developers who will use it. Getting comfortable with a tool is at least 50% of the job and a beta will fill that need. What the SDK enables will be more telling. But I would warn against listening to much to the feature counters who will decry anything less than total control of everything. Apple's appeal to users is their ability to take off the table a whole bunch of stuff we (users) don't want to think about, thereby eliminating layers of interface, stuff you've got to remember, and things you have to read the manual several times to understand.

As I've said before: The iPhone you see is not the iPhone – it is a product defined by the road ahead and its momentum, not its location. Today's SDK will not be the only version.

PED, I'm watching these oil, gold, etc. prices going through the roof. Don't know when these commodity bubbles are going to burst, but they will. Just like tech in 2000. Surprising more analysts are predicting such. That's going to drive a huge surge back into tech, don't you think?

You know they are going to sell it off making up some more BS about how SDK didn't live up to someone else's expectations. Its what they do. You think any analyst outside of Gene Munster has any clue about Apple or the gold mine it is? F-no. They are all jokers making money with their hedge fund pals. Apple should be over 200 right now but as long as we have these dipshits called analysts, we have to deal with these detours to make them look half smart.

Great. Let's build up a bunch of unrealistic expectations for this event so that no matter what good news comes out, the negative spin will keep people from seeing the great future of the iPhone and the stock price will drop. Well, thanks for the continued great buying opportunity!! Hopefully, the naysayers being quoted for this article aren't being translated into Chinese, where apparently consumers are happy with their own great experiences and don't need Americans to tell them how good/bad they really have it!! iPhone officially in China by the Olympics!! PED, enjoy the show!
