We’re almost there. The WWDC is due to kick off on Monday with Steve Jobs’ keynote address… and we can finally put all of the rumors and speculating to bed. What do you think 100% for sure absolutely positive YES is going to be announced at the keynote? (I realize that last sentence didn’t make much sense).

There are three things that I’m keeping my fingers crossed about… Am sincerely hoping they all get announced at the keynote…The chances are slim, but heck, wouldn’t it be nice?

Obviously first and foremost will be the 3G iPhone announcement. That is almost a certainty. Will be great to see what the new iPhone has packed into it, what options it has, and more…

Next on my list would be the iPhone App Store. That has to be coming soon. Would make sense to launch this to coincide with the new iPhone.

Last on my list would be the launch of the iPhone internationally. Will there be announcements of the iPhone going green in Canada, Italy, Greece, and Australia to name a few? Rumors were that Apple was coordinating a massive international launch of the iPhone all around or on the same date. That would be great, and I can speak for other Canadians when I say ‘About GD Time!’

Of course, there have been so many more rumors including new iPhones coming in multiple colors, video conferencing via iChat on the iPhone, a slimmer and lighter iPhone, and a whole lot more… I’m sure you’ve read or heard all of the rumors by now.

So much to speculate on, I’m just happy this will be coming to an end next week. I’m hoping that the keynote delivers more than we are expecting… But we’ll have to wait and see.

What do you think? What is the WWDC Keynote going to deliver? …and will it be a bang or a bust!?

Golfers, I think a new era of tracking our game, our yardages, our courses and our scores is upon us. With the upcoming launch of the app store, it looks like some new and exciting golf related apps are due to drop. Case in point, ‘Plum Caddy’ from Plum Amazing Software for the iPhone.

I read a press release earlier today all about the new app that is coming soon (as soon as the app store launches). With Plum Caddy you can keep track of your scores, track your putts, driving and most other stats you’d want to track. Also, you can plot the points on your course map where each shot ended up, providing you with unique historical data you can learn from in the future.

The historical data built up in the app will help you select the right club and make the right play on almost every shot.

While Plum Caddie sounds great… as an avid golfer, below are the things I’d like to see in a golf tracking/management/yardage app:

• Built-in GPS that works with Google Earth for measuring yardages and distances in real time.
• A simple, easy to use interface.
• A desktop app that lets me manage and work with my stats, import courses and manage course yardages right on my Mac. I’d much rather manage these items on my computer than on the iPhone!

There are other great golf tracking/yardage apps out there already, namely for the BlackBerry. They make use of the built-in GPS on the 8800 series, and soon to be released BOLD series. I’m looking forward to taking advantage of the GPS built-in to the 3G iPhone (fingers crossed).

To sign up for the ‘Plum Caddie’ notification list, click here. Plum Amazing will send you a note when there is news on the relase of the app.

Golf anyone?
