Official MacWorld Keynote Thread

[Hurmoth]

I wouldnt really call this dissapointing, the Iphone is cool, its a good product but costs to much and has a terrible batterylife for the phone...i really think when apple was coming up with this, the "phone part" was as intergral as it should be, this is in no way practicle for a daily phone IMHO

5 hours is no practical for anything. A phone or a MP3 player. 5 hours is nothing. If I bought this as a personal phone and carried it to work with me, it would only make it through half my day at work. That's terrible.

so can somebody tell me what would be the main differences between apple tv and the windows media center extender devices currently on the market? I don't know much about the apple tv so wondering aside from the dvr like part, what are the other advantages if any it has over windows media center extenders.

No new iPod, no new Mac's.. Just an insanely priced (granted amazing) iPhone with no Canadian carrier announcement? Wtf?

I guess Canada means jack **** to these guys :p.

kind of a bummer this keynote. He only talked about the iPhone. Sure, it's a great device! But a bit more info on Leopard or so would be welcome.

2007 - The year apple stopped being a computer company... you watch less and less hardware & software updates. They're probaly like whats the point trying to compete with Windows :(.

Maybe that's just talk time, what about idle?

5 hours of talk time is pretty damned good for a smart phone.

from engadget...

I thought this was macworld lol, nothing relating to the mac (os x/hardware) :(

[Elliott]

And this always happens to Apple. Everybody's so disappointed because sites like MacRumors hyped up this crap that wouldn't come true right away. People expect so much more because of other people and it kills Apple's great showing.

[Toastyone]

WTF?! Is this it, nothing about Mac OS X Leopard? One crappy Macword. :angry:

For sure! :angry:

[Glassed Silver]

desktop-class apps...

does this mean... as this baby runs mac os x... that even.... NORMAL mac os x apps that run on iMacs run on iPhone?... or like sumfin like universal binary... so it needs just a quick re-compiling and re-editing?

no its not. The way apple presented it it would seem so, but then they add that its 3 devices in 1.
