Calm down everybody. Todays Keynote was aimed primarily at Wall Street and the Tech Giants, not at you(us) Mac geeks. It has the Blackberry, Palm, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung,Sony etc. boys in a big-time panic. This unit has/will change the cell phone/communication world. Don't worry about subset devices like new wide screen-only Ipods, more GBs, the Leopard release, Quad Core Macs, iXXX updates, ultra-portable ,tablet Macs, phone carrier issues etc. Those things and more will all come in due time. Today was about changing the communications world and introducing a new company called Apple,Inc which will take substantial market share from the leaders in the communication device/service and computer industry (see Halo effect). It was also about business partnerships with AT&tT/Cingular, Google and others. And, maybe most of all it fired an enormous shot across the bow of the "leaking" ship known as Microsoft. Capt. Bill now knows that this new company will no longer be just that incredibly innovative,geeky,zealous <5% PC market share pain-in-the-ass with a cool music player that he could blatantly and lamely copy ideas from (see Vista, see Zune) without regard for consequences. Along with those mentioned above,the Redmond boys and girls will sleep uneasily tonight. It's a whole new world out there now. Enjoy it and go along for the wonderful ride in store. And finally, start buying Apple,Inc. stock. The profits you make will pay for all the new goodies and more.

I'm hoping that they're holding off release of new computers until the release of Leopard, so those new computers can be shipped with Leopard pre-installed, avoiding the frustrations of new Mac folks who buy a computer then have to install a new OS right off the bat.

I still really really really want a 12inch MacBook Pro...

One feature I would like to see on the iPhone is GPS integration. Whether alone, or in partnership with a company like Garmin, I think it would be a great enhancement to have the iPhone available as a real time positional navigation aid. Seems like a natural, although not without technological challeges such as maintaining the form factor, weight and battery life. However, these are the challenges that Apple Inc. was built for.

As I pondered iPhone, I had the realization that I was really looking at a tablet mac. Imagine taking the iPhone and enlarging it to the size of a macbook or macbookpro. You could push a button, set it down near and wirelessly connect to a apple cinema display and have a parts free keyboard. who needs a mouse? use your finger. I was seeing a new iPhoto app...... My, my I just feel all these patents will appear in future products. The touch screen iMac?

Those apple folks really are amazing, nice job Steve and company. Really, nice job!
