Today is the day that the Windows Phone team has been driving towards, and we’re very excited to say that we’ve reached the biggest milestone for our internal team – the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Phone 7!  While the final integration of Windows Phone 7 with our partners’ hardware, software, and networks is underway, the work of our internal engineering team is largely complete. 

Now we just need some solid devices :)

So it’s telling that even within the Gmail team, there is a basic, fundamental, deep-seeded inability to put things together in a contextually graceful way that makes sense to actual (non-Googler) users—in other words, to deliver a great user experience.

Good read.

Apple® will broadcast its September 1 event online using Apple’s industry-leading HTTP Live Streaming, which is based on open standards. Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS® X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™. The live broadcast will begin at 10:00 a.m. PDT on September 1, 2010 at www.apple.com.

Interesting, especially given all the WiFi issues they had during their iPhone 4 announcement.

Now they just need to add it to google apps for domains.

Steve Jobs et al plan on hosting an event in San Francisco on September 7. This just so happens to be on a Tuesday and meshes perfectly with Apple's annual Mac plus iPod touch promotion (which ends on the same day). Of course, we could've told you Apple would be holding an early September iPod refresh event this time last year -- the real question is what else might be revealed during the keynote?

My guess..

• Apple TV re-branded to iTV with an app eco-system and integration with the iPhone/iPad 
• iOS4 for iPad (at minimum its release date) 
• iPod touch with front facing and regular camera
• No 7" iPad

Update: The official date was announced as Sept 1st

I like it, very minimalistic (albeit chrome-esque)

I'm surprised how much lag the iPhone 4 had while scrolling, in comparison to the other phones.
