  1. Don’t need another phone, pocket pc or iPod whether in one or multiple devices.

    What I do need is a better and faster Mac of both desktop and laptop varieties.

    Also need iLife 07, iWork 07, etc., etc., along with, of course, Leopard.

    Will I have to make contact with Microsoft, a company apparently staying in the computer business, for my wants and needs?

  2. WBW, Do you really think Apple would unveil Apple TV, iPhone, OS 10.5, iLife ’07, iWork ’07 etc. all in one go? Thankfully, Apple has better PR and marketing people than you! The annoucements today fit together quite nicely. I except an additional event sometime later in the spring for 10.5 and associated software. As for updated Macs, do you really think a processor upgrade is worthy of time next to the phone stuff? Steve today used MacWorld to talk about the future. It may not be to your liking, but that’s where Apple is headed and needs to go. Talk about halo effect!

  3. CNBC spreading FUD. Is the iPhone not Windoze compatible? Said it was not a “business” device because of this. Thought it was. Still haven’t watched the entire keynote though. Am I wrong about this?

  4. I wish I had known there would be no Leopard or iLife/iWork announcements going into the keynote. I wouldn’t feel quite so let down. Steve made a proclamation it was all about the Mac and then launched into talking about iTunes, iPod, Apple TV, and iPhone and never came back to the Mac.

  5. It would’ve been dumb to try to cram in announcements about iLife and Leopard. People are acting as if Apple has simply stopped dvelopment on these things. What people don’t seem to understand is that there is only so much you can do in a single presentation.

    They’ll very likely have another presentation pretty soon devoted solely to Mac news. Good grief, nervous nellies!

  6. Oops,
    This is suppose to be Macworld and not CES. That keynote should have been given at CES. A Macworld keynote should be about Macs. It’s a very simple concept.

    I was waiting on a computer purchase that I have to make for my wife so that she can work. We decided to wait 2 weeks for Macworld. Well the biggest Mac event of the year is here and there is NOTHING about Macs! So if news about Macs doesn’t come during Macworld when will it? Is it next week, next month, when? This is the most frustrating thing about Apple.

  7. Won’t be Watching…

    Will I have to make contact with Microsoft, a company apparently staying in the computer business, for my wants and needs?

    Yeah, go ahead and embrace Microsoft for all your computing needs. You’ll be welcomed with open arms.

    If what Apple currently has available in the way of computing power and life-style isn’t enough to satisfy your needs your better off in the other camp.

    see ya…

  8. I for one am glad that Apple are getting into different products. They each will make the other more useful.

    In June, when the iPhone is released then Apple will have five major avenues for profit. Macs, Pods, Phones, TV and content distribution. More revenue, greater exposure and increased potential for investment into the current product line and new ones.

    Those who bought Apple stock in 1999 before the iPod was released now have the equivalent of 3 companies in one (Computers, Entertainment devices and Distribution). I’m really surprised anyone can complain about the keynote.

    If Apple do truly sell 10M iPhones next year that will add $5B to their annual revenue. Not too shabby and potentially a lot more.

    I’m sure Apple will have several special events to announce Leopard and any Mac upgrades very soon.

  9. All you idiots that are complaining need to wake up – asuming you don’t work for MS.

    This is the most amazing computer ever made. Fully scaleable, full OS, the best most advanced in the world etc etc. It has 200 patents and sets new standards.

    All these things are coming to your Mac to increase the productivity gulf between Mac and Windows.

    APPLE IS LEADING THE WORLD.

    MICROSOFT IS DYING.

    Matt,

    Opportune? Yes. Compulsory? Certainly not. You’re putting too fine a point on it being called “MacWorld”. Apple has become a diverse company. Get over it.

    Can you read? I’ll say it again. There is only so much you can introduce in a single presentation before overload and fatigue set in.

    But thanks anyways for telling me what the damn conference is called. I really didn’t know it was called “MacWorld”, you friggin’ genius!

    Greg, you condescending bastard. Yet another genius telling me this is “MacWorld”. Maybe they’ll just need to change the name to AppleWorld so you bastards can unwind your panties. Of course, then you’d be whining about the name change.
