They have some great new updates for the iPhone. Considering my $120 Nokia had the ability to send multiple SMS 4 years ago, what made Apple think this was an amazing new feature?
Also, what I found truely hilarious, they have decided to give the ipod touch users the apps they've been demanding since release - you know, the same ones on the iPhone. They've updated it for free on all new touch purchases, but are charging $20 for them for existing owners. What the hell?!?! Steve said just minutes before that it uses the exact same software. Why charge for something that has already been writen for the iPhone?
The new maps thing is alright, but probably is useless in australia, since we have no free wireless hotspots
But, I do have to admit that the Apple TV Take 2 has been properly fixed. It seems that you now don't need a computer to connect it to - everything can be done through the box itself. Aside from the lack of divx and other popular formats, it is a decent system. Even better, it's a HD device.
BUT, the most increadible thing that happened, was the amazing anouncement that the new "Family Guy" Blue Harvest DVD will come with a digital copy for the ipod. FREE OF CHARGE!!! It's about freaking time!!
Also, they announced the new laptop "Air". Looks good, but starting at $2500, it's REALLY expensive. Dare I say it, it's a marvel of modern technology. The only thing they seem to have compromised on is cd/dvd drive. Even then, they've made it possible to use a desktop drive through a network. I usually hate Apple and their gimicky products, but this is amazing. I'm speechless. It is the ideal laptop for business. And it even gets 5 HOURS BATTERY LIFE!!! They've even thought of the environmental impact of the machine. I neven thought I would be anywhere near as impressed by an Apple product as by this machine.Just let it be known that it takes an awful lot for me to wonder anywhere near the "dark side", but this has got me close.
Anyway, thankfully it's expensive, which should keep me from any meanderings to the Apple stores anywhere in the near future.
So, that was Macworld. If it weren't for the Air, I would be regretting the waste of bandwidth the video was. Not to mention how the audio kept dropping out. Stupid quicktime. Feel free to discuss.
