MacWorld 2007



I'm sure all MacFanatics are well aware what's going on today.

It is of course 'His Steveness" keynote speech at Apple's MacWorld Expo 2007

More news on the iTV? Will the much rumoured formerly-known-as-iPhone surface? What of the much vaunted but recently ignored full-screen touch-screen iPod? New iLife? New iWorks? Updated iTunes?

How about "one more thing"?

Either way, keep up to date at MacRumors, Engadget or World of Apple Live (and a list here). Also remember to keep an eye out for the Apple keynote stream some time after the event. Watch the keynote here.

Beatles hey? Hmmm!

So basically it's iPhone, Apple TV and new Airport base station. Whilst the iPhone does look great, its not due out here in the UK until year end and will be prohibitively expensive (for me). The Apple TV also looks like a great piece of equipment and something I would most surely be interested in at some point (Xbox 360 first maybe). Im not in the market for the Airport base station, but stack a Mac Mini and an Apple TV on to of it and .. oh wow!

Apple TV

I wonder, will the Apple TV play my AVI files?

Disappointments - no iPod of course. I can see the iPhone being the form-factor for a new iPod though and whilst it's unlikely will be Apple announcing one at MacWorld there's always "special events". No Mac updates at all, odd. No .mac or software updates at all. No Leopard information!

All these lack of updates leads me to guess that they devoted this keynote not iPhone and Apple TV and will be having another show some time later.

Oh yes, and it's no longer Apple Computer, Inc - it's just Apple, Inc. I wonder how that went down in discussions with Apple Corps.
