Two months later at a special Apple event...
Halfway through Steve's presentation:"...and that's iTranslate. The new universal translator from Apple coming this holiday season.
Next, now this is something really special, I am pleased to announce the next generation of programming languages. Something we like to call "RealCode".
Now remember two months ago when I said at the iPhone press conference that we couldn't fix the iPhone 4 antenna issue with software? Well it turns out we can, with RealCode.
Let me show you.
We have created this little app called 'AntennaFix.app'. You run it directly on the device. Like so. *the app opens and closes and deletes itself*.
Now, I'm sure you are wondering what just happened. Well let me tell you. With RealCode you can create anything for the real world, with code. Hence ReadCode. This little app just created a micro-polymer layer over the phone. *Steve smiles and soaks up the applause*. You can now even drop it in a tank of water and it will be fine.
Let's look at some other uses. You can write a RealCode app to make the dinner: *Steve creates a turkey on stage to much surprise*; what about a jet pack: *jet pack appears*; and even a cat with Smarties tubes on it's legs: *boom, a cat with smarties tubes on it's legs appears and proceeds to walk around the stage*. Isn't that just wonderful. Now what about getting rid of all this? Just hit delete. *everything vanishes* It's that simple.
Release date? Today! *much applause*
For only $99 per licence. *even more applause*
It will run on all Mac platforms and the code can run on any Apple device. We are working on bringing it to other platforms.
Now we gave it to some really great developers two weeks ago and they have already created some really great apps. Let's take a look..."
Only three days later, the world would fall into chaos leaving only a handful of people to defend themselves against the zombie hordes created with RealCode. A former Apple developer, who requested to remain anonymous, would tell us he informed the Apple management of the potential for zombie hordes early into development. Our request for comment from Apple would then be ignored and the head of Steve Jobs in a jar would inform us they had no such warning, but did offer free shelters to all developers with a RealCode licence.
