Damn You Jobs!

I am obligated to comment on Steve Jobs’s keynote address yesterday.

Obviously, the best time to avoid buying an iPod is whenever I buy one.

Still, even as I was slumping in my chair every time Jobs opened his mouth (it has a camera! Full widescreen! Quad band! Some sort of geo-location! It runs Mac OS X! It slices! It dices!), the final few minutes cheered me up. $599 for a 8Gb music player is a bit pointless for me. And, because of the iPhone being tethered to particular phone companies, it’s not something you can buy overseas and expect to work well over here. So, in the end, not too teeth-gnashing.

Also, I’m not exactly sure how useful AppleTV is; it’s really just AirTunes with added video (but probably won’t play DivX files, thus reducing its appeal drastically).

But where was Leopard? The standard yearly updates to iLife and iWork? Bah!
