The Stevenote

Greetings Faithful Readers...

Well, the Steve's keynote has come and gone...what did you think?  Here's my .02

1)  The Time Capsule - WHA???   The Airport Base Station with a "Server Class" internal drive?  Sure, cool if you don't have one...but show us some love, Apple...I paid dearly for the ABS and just want to plug my existing hard drive in and have the ability to sync time machine wirelessly.  The jury is still out...that functionality might come with the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.2

2)  iPhone Update 1.1.3 -  Now we're talking...great update.  I've been patiently waiting for substantial changes since the phone released.  I like the multiple SMS and the locator additions especially.  The only thing I can say is....more!

3)  Apple TV update - Another big round of applause.  A huge update to Apple TV AND I don't have to buy another one?  Awesome!  My only disappointment was that the software is 2 weeks away from delivery...

4)  Macbook Air - mmmmm....not sure about this one.  I don't like to be negative about products I've never seen or used, but this one might be challenging for me to hold back from.   There is no user-replaceable battery and no optical drive.  It is wafer thin but they compromised the speed and usability to make that happen.  Think I'll skip the Macbook Air for now.

Overall, I'd rate the keynote about a B...

That's it for now kids...go out there and update your iPhones!
