They really should put it up as a downloable on iTunes.

Not Impressed

I was really excited to see new products from the keynote, or a one more thing from Steve.....

Of course the awaited Mac Pro was announced and looks like a screaming fast desktop, but other then that I was dissapointed. Investors are also not to impressed as the stock has fallen 1.5 points from todays opening. The networking gear XSan also updated.

I know leopard is going to blow away vista being a 64 bit system, but thats next spring......

So today we got a new Mac Pro, network devices, and some previews

I would have loved to have seen an ipod nano,mini, macbook or pro update, or just a complete new product such as a iphone or media mac.

This is a developer's conference, not a consumer's conference... get that in your head

Ditto! The stock dropped because the investors were thinking the same thing, no iPod news=unhappy investors. The iPod will be updated at a later date, perhaps October (iPod 5th anniversary).

Todays news was just about what I expected and may have been a little more then I expected in the previews of Leopard.

My predictions:

MacPro: quad woodcrest @ 3GHz, 1GB ram standard, two high speed video card slots, ATI x1900, or NVIDIA 7950GX2, for first time, ATI FireGL boards available as BTO.
XServe: dual woodcrest, larger hard drives
Airport: "pre-n" announced, ships on new MacPros, available in 6 weeks for standalone devices, upgradable when standard is formalized
Leopard: preview, all of OS now 64bit able, still runs on 32bit machines. Takes full advantage of GPU. The usual slew of apps updated.
XCode: updated to 3.0, API for project files made available, various "features" (ie bugs) fixed

Mostly right, no 'pre-n' airport, or 7950s or FireGLs though.

And for the record, Steve made me happy with the 3GHz machine that I just ordered
