Hasta la vista, Macworld
There you have it Apple fans, Apple’s final Macworld keynote has come and gone. As expected, Steve Jobs was nowhere to be found – indeed due to health reasons as many had dismissed as false until Jobs’ recent letter was issued on Monday. Phill Schiller had some pretty big shoes to fill but he did a great job and even threw in a joke or two. As for the announcements, the only surprise was iLife ‘09 and we think it was a pretty good surprise in fact. Apple looks to have made some great updates to its suite and we can’t wait to upgrade and start playing with all the new features. As far as the three other big announcements – iWork ‘09, the new 17″ MacBook Pro and DRM-free iTunes – leaks did an ok job of covering each one to some extent. In terms of the massive list of rumors that weren’t made a reality today, this year’s Macworld had more rumors surrounding it than ever before so most were obviously destined to be squashed. We would have liked to have seen a refreshed iMac and Mac Mini, case manufacturers would have liked to have seen an iPhone nano and Apple’s board would have liked to have seen a more sustained and significant spike in Apple shares today. Hey, you can’t win ‘em all…
really felt ho-hum about this year’s announcements… particularly because i really wanted to hear about a mini update. oh well.
Yeah, I don’t get how they can be just so silent and careless about the Mac Mini. I love the damn things.
I don’t think its that hard to keep updated.
Don’t you mean iPhone Nano, not iPod Nano?
If this is the best they can do, the probably need to stop doing MW.
Good riddance. Save us from more snoozefests like this one. Revolutionary products only come once a decade. no need for a fanboy circle jerk every January just so they can demo iPhoto.
even steve jobs got sick of it
Where’s my “Macbook Wheel”?

Cool… The wheel should of been in the keynote.
Funny thing is, when you go to the Macworld Conference & Expo website, they say MacWorld 2010 The start of a new Era. Why even have a conference this year when that is all they are going to promote.
The MW keynote was today? Show’s how much I’ve been paying attention…or cared…
Always fun to mention Vista in the title of a Macworld mention
This macword was super lame.. Glad I didn’t waste $ on the trip..
you buy aple your wasting money period
I’ve been thinking it may be time to pull out of AAPL. There’s nothing major on the horizon from AAPL product-wise — not market makers like iTunes or iPhone. The only way for AAPL to maintain revenue growth will be to come off the “Apple Tax” a bit.
