The full quote,IIRC, was -

"This is the year of the laptop, but we have some surprises for the desktop too."

C'mon Apple, surprise me.

Oh yeah - cr2sh - nice to see another Hunter S. fan. Got that quote on a T-shirt somewhere.

Consumer digital cameras are going USB2 (eg all new Sonys) and I'd like to use them at the increased speed. I doubt there will be FW800 consumer digicams. Cheap USB2 scanners don't have firewire either. USB2 Flash memory disks don't have firewire!

Mac users know all about FW speeds so sticking with USB1.1 just sucks.

And the next generation of MFPs will be USB 2.0.

"This is the year of the laptop, but we have some surprises for the desktop too."

I think you are mistaken. He was talking about sales, not features. The whole thing was RDF to take attention away from the fact that Powermac sales had tanked and there was no reason for them to improve. Laptop sales were increasing as a percentage of units sold, not hard when the sales of all units were down.
