True! I noticed that Tim did mention the anniversary of the App Store, but there was no mention of third-party apps or sideloading. I heard a phrase on an unrelated podcast yesterday that also applies to rumors in general: "It's nothing until it's something"!!!

I don't think they like the 3rd party stores and sideloading, and really didn't want it. So why wouid they mention it, even if available.
