So the show is over for this year (well infact for all the foreseeable years).
New versions of Ilife and Iwork ( let's hope iMovie is easier than the previous version in 08 as that was a dog of an interface)
Hardly front page news with those two updates, and also the announcement of an updated - unibody- 17" Macbook Pro was no surprise.
though the non removable battery was - 8hrs life -hmm forgive me if I'm a little sceptical on that performance figure.
Apple have been quoted as saying they will announce new products as and when they are ready, as opposed to feeling' they have to follow the trade show 'diarys'
This I believe is a good thing , though I think they need to act fast in announcing a release date for 'snow leopard' so the mac faithful can start saving up.
The next few months are key to apple in refreshing there product line ( new iMacs new mac mini and 30" screen) however the legend that is Steve Jobs will not go away apple just because you don't do keynotes at trade shows and and want to release as and when you see fit.
Steve Jobs is a visionary - a flawed visionary however- Jonathan Ive is an inspired genius, but this peter or Paul bloke who did the keynote at MW09 - well he's a nice enough guy but don't strike me as a genius in waiting - more a safe pair of hands to reassure the apple board, and we all know what happened the last time a safe pair of hands came over from coca cola.
