Macworld Keynote Allegedly Leaked: New 13-inch Macbook to Debut?

by Brian Solis

This just in.

Leaked via Wikipedia, Steve Jobs’ keynote speech may be online today, one day early. Pocket-lint is running the alleged speech.

Whether it’s real or not, it’s a great read and would be nice if it’s true. And man oh man, a Macbook with a 720p iSight camera at .8 inches thin and an iPhone SDK with apps ready to use?!?!

Maybe it’s just a wishlist. But, if it’s true, we can finally lay to rest the rumors about the “ultra subnotebook.” The Macbook line may finally be getting a refresh.

There’s also something big coming from Twitter according to a couple of clues dropped by Ev.

Here are some highlights:

iPhone/iPod Touch SDK
- Apps and Widgets
- Using Cocoa with Objective-C
- Developers submit programs as source code, not executable
- Specify iPhone or both iPhone/Touch (certain features iPhone only)
