But that's another discussion. This was about another overblown Apple launch event that was much ado about nothing. A lot of catch-up on things, but nothing truly new. I'm happy that Apple management haven't lost Jobs' flair for the dramatic, but a new screen, an updated camera, and finally getting to 1080p isn't something that I'd have been happy about traveling to San Francisco for as a journalist. Show me a Mac Book Air Pad (touch screen MBA) and I'll get excited. Show me a new rack-friendly Mac Pro, and I'll shout to the heavens. Show me Thunderbolt peripherals that are actually available and I'll most likely faint. But a new screen and an overdue update on existing products??? Sorry to sound so jaded and cynical, but I've been in this space for too long (since the Apple ][ circa 1982), and I just expect more.
