I cant believe what I saw at an Apple reseller yesterday.
Photobooth is an INCREDIBLE selling tool for those new iMacs. I saw tons of people just using that thing. Mostly kids, but mindshare is important. Ive *never* seen people having such fun on a computer. Not just an enjoyable computing experience, but fun. What if Apple could implement some kind of software for it, similar to the EyeToy? That would be cool.
Seriously, there were many more people checking out the iMacs at this store than any of the PC stuff. The grandads were waiting in turn for a go and when the kids were done, I shown them how easy it was to set up iPhoto slideshows etc.
I wish I worked at an Apple retail store sometimes. Honestly, is there much greater job satisfaction than getting somebody to switch, or just seeing them actually smile while using a computer? I never thought Photobooth would be such a thing when I saw Jobs announce it at the special event.
