Frankly we like to see a little more hardware at events but the 17 inch MacBook was pretty close to our description last week. The $50 matte version should make people both happy and sad – as wil lthe internal long life battery. We’d be lying if we said we didn’t want one…with 8Gb (will we be able to up our smaller MacBooks to 8Gb)? No Mini or iMac however was rough. We have a feeling they are coming.
iLife and iWork are both looking pretty exciting. iWork.com is pretty close to what we envisaged. There were lots of gray areas where we missed some stuff but we think we got the major gist of it across. GarageBand learn-to-play is exactly what we had heard. And the Magic hint? Cool transitions in iWork. They are Fun!
iTunes. The end of the DRM era. Now we don’t have to visit Amazon (but probably will continue for the dealz). Amazon still beats Apple on price but iTunes is more convenient.
Apple Stock isn’t really reacting (update – whoops – it is tanking).
Overall however, we were left….wanting…although the Macrumorslive (best feed out there) getting hacked was entertaining. And obviously we have an Apple Mac hardware event coming up.
We’ll put up Apple’s videos as they become available. What did you think?
