“Apple‘s Tim Cook, addressing shareholders for the first time since he took over as CEO from Steve Jobs in August, said today the company will introduce mind-blowing products this year,” Connie Guglielmo reports for Forbes.
“‘You can be assured we are working as hard as ever this year to deliver an incredible year and some products that will blow your mind,’ said Cook, 51, speaking before investors at Apple’s annual shareholder meeting at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California,” Guglielmo reports. “He also paid homage to Jobs, who passed away in October. ‘There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss him,’ Cook said, describing the ‘great sadness’ he and others experienced and thanking Apple fans for their condolences. But as the weeks passed, Cook said that ‘great sadness turned into an intense determination to continue the journey because that’s what he would have wanted.'”

MacDailyNews Take: Jobs picked the right guy to lead Apple.
As usual Apple teases and tantalizes.
But, unlike their competitors the purveyors of vaporware, Apple ships.
… and that is certainly reasonable consolation.
I like MDN’s take – a lot!!!!
Ok, cool, I am ready to be blown away!
Just give us professional users, ones who actually make their living on Macs, a new Mac Pro. Video, photography,3D. Sorry, Thunderbolt enabled MacBook Pros (I own a tricked out 17″) are not a substitute. Without a great workstation, you are giving up an important niche to (ugh) Windows. It will bite Apple in the butt in the long run. Don’t alienate the media creators.
Yea Apple, keep cranking out the blow-jobs!
Go Tim!
Don’t mean to bring people down, but Steve used to say this all the time too. And it usually just turned out to be updates to existing products.
I’d be happy with a 1080p Apple TV …
Yeah.. such as the iPhone.. which was an update to the existing products such as the RIM blackberry, and the LG Prada phone.. and the iPad which is just a slightly larger iPod touch…
Oh, and the iPod was just a version of the Nomad with less space and no wireless.
