Apple Light on the Announcements Made at MacWorld San Francisco
In what seemed to be proof that Apple doesn't need a MacWorld to announce products, yesterday's keynote made by Phil Schiller didn't contain the type of groundbreaking products Apple customers are used to. In his keynote, Phil mentioned that 3.4 million people visit the apple store worldwide per week...In other words, he translated that to 100 MacWorlds each and every week. I think in this respect, Phil was distancing Apple and MacWorld of the future.
In any case, Apple did have some news for us with the release of a robust set of new software and a new Mac Book Pro (unibody enclosure) 17". If you missed it, the 2009 versions of iLife and iWork were announced with many many new exciting features. Also in a somewhat surprising move, Apple has made changes to it's iTunes store and is now allowing some of it's content to be DRM-free AND variable priced. This has been a long time coming with Amazon doing it already but the I'm not sure the rumor sites had this pegged.
The only hardware that was announced was the new MacBook Pro 17". It has a non-user replaceable battery and a matte option for the screen...And of course it's thinner!
Other than that missing were mentions of Snow Leopard and the next version of an iPhone OS. Well, I'm sure we'll hear something before the Apple Developers Conference or WWDC.
That's it for now and stand by for more info as we get it.
