Des fuites sur le keynote Macworld 2008 de demain : iPhone 16 Go confirmé ? SDK et applis/widgets à l’honneur ?
On est en pleine rumeur,
rien de ceci n’est sûr, autant vous prévenir tout de suite !
Mais on ne peut pas passer l’info sous silence tout de même.
Il semblerait que le keynote que doit tenir demain Steve Jobs au
Macworld ait fait l’objet d’une fuite via wikipedia.
La chronologie de l’ensemble de la présentation y serait décrite.
On y retrouve peu de scoop concernant l’iPhone / iPod Touch
mais des infos déjà supputées ou des précisions tout de même
intéressantes si confirmées : iPhone 16 Gb à 499
$, arrivée du SDK avec des applis soumises via le code
source, téléchargeables depuis le itunes wifi store et à un prix
pouvant aller de 0 à 7 dollars, dont 70 % sont
reversés aux développeurs, des widgets moins chers (meme principe de
soumission / achat)
