We’re all finished folks! Gallery of the images we took during the keynote coming soon, meanwhile restart the liveblog above for Rene’s incredible play-by-play, it’s practially a transcript of the entire event. Don’t be fooled by my (Dieter’s) name next to the updates, it was all Rene’s lightning-fingers giving you the updates.
Update: We’ve added a bootload of photos of the 2009 Macworld Keynote. Go take a peek!
Next week is the first big Apple show of the year, and it’s also Apple’s last Macworld appearance, and the first not to be keynoted by Steve Jobs since his triumphant return to the company he founded.
But while his Steveness may not be there, Dieter and I (and maybe some of our writers) will be, bringing you our usual coverage of the Schiller-note (how weird does that look?!) and the show floor.
And if you happen to be there as well, please make it a point to say hello. If you’re curious what we’re up to, you can follow us on Twitter: @backlon and @reneritchie, or email us via news@theiphoneblog.com.
(If our blogging schedule looks a little wonky next week, please forgive us in advance, we expect things may be a little hectic).
We look forward to seeing everyone there, and reporting back for everyone at home, especially if we get to see a new iPhone firmware or… hardware SKU?
Anyone care to make any predictions in advance?
The kind folks over at Element Case have hooked TiPb up for the holidays! That’s right, they were generous enough to drop off a pack of custom tricked-out iPhone cases not just for us to review — but for us to give away to you, the best dang blog readers, forum posters, and podcast listeners on the interwebs.
These aren’t just any cases, mind you. These are the hardcore high-end rigs of cases. Jeremy’s already gotten his hands all over them (and took some time out of his hectic holiday schedule to snap the pics above and below) and he says they’re well made and built for gaming, with the special bonus of making sure you don’t cover up the speaker when holding them (nice touch!).
Thanks to everyone at Element Case for hooking us up, and stay tuned for your chance to take one of these custom TiPb cases home for the new year!
(To check out their whole selection, head on over to the Element Case Shop).
More pics after the break…
UPDATE: Yup, you read the new title right, CrackBerry Kevin — the addict himself — will be joining us LIVE tonight to talk — you guessed it — BlackBerry Storm vs. iPhone 3G! Don’t miss it!
Just a reminder, folks, we kick off the next iPhone Live! tonight (Wednesday, Dec. 10) at 8pm EST/5pm PST. (We’ll actually start broadcasting a little earlier tonight, if we can, so you can share in the pre-show with us!)
Topic is still being finalized — we’re trying to line up a very special guest — but we’ll of course be taking your questions. Leave them in the comments below, on Twitter @theiphoneblog, or chat live with us tonight!

Who qualified, what accessories made it into the Ultimate Pack, and most importantly… WHO WON?! after the break!
To celebrate the launch of our new iPhone Live! Podcast, the iPhone blog is revving up yet another contest! What is it and how does it work?
Every week, on both the iPhone Live! and Phone different Podcasts, we here at TiPb will each be choosing our favorite iPhone accessories (courtesy of the TiPb iPhone store!), and adding them to the prize pack.
Each week, we’ll give you new chance to enter. It might be joining us on a social network, sending us a tweet, replying to a forum thread, etc. Listen to our podcasts (or check out the show notes) to find out the entry method for that week. Do it.
At the end of the week, we’ll pick a qualifier from everyone who successfully entered that week. Each qualifier will receive a 15% off coupon for the iPhone blog store, and be entered in our grand prize drawing.
Enter as many weeks as you like (though only 1 entry will be counted each week!). When we have all our qualifiers, we’ll pull a name out at random and they’ll win our Grand Prize: The Ultimate iPhone Accessory Pack!
Just a reminder, folks, we kick off the next iPhone Live! tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 26) at 8pm EST/5pm PST. (We’ll actually start broadcasting a little earlier tonight, if we can, so you folks can share in the pre-show with us!)
Topic, of course, will be iPhone OS 2.2, and your questions! Leave them in the comments below, on Twitter @theiphoneblog, or chat live with us tonight!

We are pleased to announce the Smartphone Round Robin!. Each year the editors of the Smartphone Experts family of sites literally trade their phones to see what life is like on the “other side.” What you’re going to see over the course of the next two months is each of our five SPE Community Editors reviewing smartphones that they’re not used to using. Each editor has a checklist of “Must-Dos” that ensure they’re getting the full experience with each smartphone. It’s quite a ride.
Read on for more on the Smartphone Round Robin and for details on how you can win one of five Smartphone Prize Packs!
Just a reminder, folks, we kick off the next iPhone Live! tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 12) at 8pm EST/5pm PST.

The iPhone Blog merged with the Phone different site in May of 2008. Both sites were founded on a premise that comes one from one of Apple's old slogans: Think different. The iPhone Blog: for people who dare to phone different.
