I think we need to change the "Steve LET Phil do the keynote" statements of a couple weeks ago to "Steve MADE Phil do the keynote." Obviously Steve's health isn't so hot, but I doubt he would have been thrilled with this keynote even in the best of health. Phil gets his coming out party, and has to announce some neat though mild software upgrades and a new-but-hardly-revolutionary Macbook update. D'oh.

I was hoping for a price cut on the iPod Touch. I figured this might be in the works, since my wife went to CostCo to look at them yesterday, and they had no inventory at all--I was thinking they might either cut $50 off the price of each, or introduce a new 64GB, drop the 8GB, and restructure the price points. Ah well.

There goes that, I was planning on ordering a new 24" iMac with boosted graphics performance...In all, not too shabby Apple. I'm thinking we might see an Apple only event that is planning on attracting the MacWorld fan base. Something Apple can call their own, so that they have full control. I think this is what they have been aiming for all along. Think about it, how many probable products did not come out that very possibly will be introduced? (Revised iMac and Mac Mini, as well as the Snow Leopard news) I'm thinking they have some big things planned for a show of their own. Possibly an iPhone Nano, or NetMac? Something that would generate a lot of press, much like: "Steven Jobs introduced the new iPhone Nano today in a new type of Apple event he says will be around for awhile, he calls it AppleWorld (some sort of equivalent)."

@Auzburner: Yeah, if they have something super cool to release, they may try to wait until Steve returns to fighting form, and then have him pop out and talk about it. It would be double the normal press since the product would be linked to Steve looking super healthy again, etc.

Why is there always rumors surrounding Apple? Is there any truth or is it just one really long line of playing telephone?

I'm quite happy that there are no new iMacs. I love thinking that my 24 inch is the latest and greatest. Plus, it suits me perfectly, I don't need better graphics or power, etc, etc.

@Vivara: I just don't get it. Are people afraid that the new stuff will suddenly make the computers you purchased prior suddenly go kaput? The previous generation's been out for a while, so if there was an update to the hardware, perhaps it's best to not get a new system just a month or so away from Macworld :P

Damn. I was really hoping for a new Mac Mini (w/ hdmi out?) to replace my old Xbox1 with XBMC.

@2-7offsuit's blatantly overreaching ironic user name that w...:

I was hoping for either a significant update, or a significant price drop. I wouldn't mind having the tech stagnate if I could get it much cheaper, as it would still make a great little tinker box.
