underwhelmed
Switched to macs in '03 when I bought the G4 Powerbook I'm typing on. Have a dual core iMac and iPods, etc. Love Apple. After watching them for several years I was somewhat underwhelmed by the keynote. Since it was mostly repeat of original Leopard preview with added look/dock/finder update, I have to wonder what is up at Apple. I think we are being sidetracked from something big coming, but I don't know what. Apple is good at throwing out a "I gotta have it now!" technology or gadget (iPod, iPhone, iMac, Tiger according to Steve's stats). I have to think touch screen functionality is the core thing missing from today's keynote - because the hardware isn't here yet. That will be the kicker and it will come in form of new iMacs and Cinema displays. iPhone screams of the "wow" factor. The next gen hardware will be killer I have to believe - not that Leopard isn't way cool or that we won't pony up for it right away as it sits. Just that I think the hype around Leopard has shrouded some other development they are working on (thus the delay). Way too dull of a presentation today for typical Apple. Just when we think they are dropping the ball a bit.... BAM - they'll kick it up a notch.
