RE: [OT] apple keynote

Excellent!

Just sat through all 104 minutes of it. Gotta hand it to Steve Jobs in that
he certainly knows how to put a presentation together.

Some comments:

Felt sorry for the President of Sony - he seemed a bit out of his depth :-)

Surprised at the positioning of the Mac Mini - I thought it would be the
headline of the announcements but really didn't figure as prominently. They
really didn't make a big deal of it although I'm sure it will sell by the
lorry load even out of curiosity for Windows users. Will it be up to the
job
of running OS X Tiger?

Headline position went to the iPod shuffle - seems Mr Jobs has got a real
soft spot for the iPod range - could be due to the fact it has 70% market
share (10,000,000 ipods sold) and he's going after the other 30% which is
the lower flash end of the market. Have to agree about the "tortured
UI" of
a lot of the current flash players out there but it remains to be seen if
the iPod shuffle concept (minus display) will be a winner.

Just my 2p worth

Don
