Macworld 2009 Keynote Stream Available

This was almost as yawning as the hifi release ...

I thought he said he was gonna talk about the mac? This should have been called macsoftwareworld

Perhaps they'll have a special event in February. Here's to hoping

For those complaining about Snow Leopard, surely it will be released at WWDC because its mainly a release which is of most interest to developers? Unless it had some new whizz bang feature I wouldn't want to see it at Macworld.

I am hoping it will be released some time before then. Apple mentioned that it would be about in the summer, so thats what I'm hoping for.

I bet the Mac Mini will have an update any time now. I'm sure that by March, Apple will have an entirely new model for about $499. The iPhone nano will probably be out the same time as a remodel of the current model in about 8 months. Or let's think about it this way- whenever we start to see some real convincing spyshots or leaks.

He did focus on the Mac... Apple seems to define "Mac" as anything related to Mac hardware or Mac software. None of the software introduced today runs on anything other than a Mac, at least legally and technically. Hence, it was focused on Macs.

u could fill an ipod's display with the coverage but nothing bigger 🙁
i think it might have to do with the iso setting on the video cameras ... (does that sound right?)
 
Great keynote...I think that Phil captured my attention as much as Steve Jobs.

Although we didn't get the new Mac Mini...they did introduce some really cool things.

I was really hoping he was going to enter the stage by jumping from a great height with an iPhone Nano.

The best part of the event for me was Tony Bennett. I wish I'll age so well....

Because we all know that Tony Bennett has never once had plastic surgery or any kind of facial work.

Don't worry, you'll probably age just fine.

well i decided on this a long time ago though! And I still have a macbook pro unibody. But I decided to not give my hopes up whenever apple 'might' release something. builds great press, but never lives up to the hype.

Never say never now ... But OMG ... 64-bit Vista? 😱
 
I'm watching the keynote stream while I'm typing this and I think that Phil is doing a great job. I find him more authentic and natural than Steve Jobs. I like that Phil comes across as just a normal person and a guy I can imagine drinking a beer with.

Of course, for a self-proclaimed "hardware company", the lack of new hardware is disappointing. But the new versions of iPhoto and iMovie look quite nice. I can't wait for Aperture 3 to come out with that face detection stuff. ;-)
 
Why did Apple even bother?

Guess it is the HP media server for me! No mini, ugh, no server, ugh, nothing for the ole stu-miester this time around.

I guess it's.....

NEW MINI'S ON TUESDAY!!!!

Could they be planning something for CES?

next tuesday apple will probably have a special event for the landmark stuff with steve.. in a smaller less populated area

Are we concerned about some sort of radioactive fallout? 😀

On the other hand I think there will be a special desktop event, similar to the notebook event of a few months ago. Isn't that the reason Apple gave for pulling out of Macworld? To be more in control of their media events when releasing new products? It makes sense.
 
I just finished watching the keynote. I must say, it was very boring. And wtf was with Tony Bennett? Do ppl still listen to him? Apple is hip and cool. Tony Bennett is... old and wrinkly.
 
wow Apple is seriously dropping the ball

1- No new iMac
2- No new Mac Mini
3- No new Apple TV
4- No new Mac Pro
5- No new line - Mid Range Power Mac mid sized Tower
6- No Blu-Ray
7- No new LCD monitors

Apple is seriously dragging its feet on things and it is getting very annoying.

also, what are they thinking with no exchangable batteries???? on MBP 17"?

they are deluded if they think it is what consumers want. alot of us want ability to change the battery out, especially if traveling
 
No,

So today we saw no Desktop Mac updates. They are all due for updates too. Especially the Mac Mini.
I think that what Apple will do is that within the next 3 months they will have a Desktop Mac Event where they will focus on the iMac, Mac Pro and Mac Mini. I highly think thats what will happen. So lets just wait and see. But I think we'll see another event before the end of March for sure.
Remember. This is just what I think though.

Not just you.
 
All in good time

I'm sure Apple will release all their new goodies in good time. Last year they released the MacPros a week before and the MacBook Pros a month or so later. From this forum it appears that the Mac mini would be the best bet for quick release in this economy.

:apple: Looking forward to a Tuesday surprise real soon!
 
Im guessing I'm one of few that actually enjoyed the most of the keynote?

The software still blows me away with how tightly apple is making everything integrate together. The iwork and ilife look fantastic, glad im going to get one free and one cheap in the hopefully not so distant future😉
 
Give em a break

Give em a break! Have you ever done engineering research? Things take time. Stuff happens. Ideas don't always pan out. Stuff happens. It's in their best interest to give us a product we want in a timely manner that works like its supposed to for a long time. That's not as easy as Steve Jobs and Apple make it look. Good riddance to MacWorld expectations!
Now every Tuesday could be an Apple Tuesday 🙂
 
Just for comparison, this keynote was right on par with the pre-iPhone Steve Jobs' keynotes.

For example ...

In 2008, Apple TV Take 2 update, MacBook Air, new iPhone firmware and Time Capsule

In 2007, iPhone announcement (shipped June), Apple TV announcement (shipped March), AirPort Extreme (802.11n, non-gigabit)

In 2006, iLife '06, iWork '06, MacBook Pro and iMac — that's it.
In 2005, iLife '05, iWork '05, iPod shuffle and the Mac mini — that's it.
In 2004, iLife '04, iWork '04, iPod mini, Final Cut Express — that's it.

Expectations for these events have just gotten out of control.
