Update on SJK – January 15th, 2008
So by now, all of us Apple cult members have thoroughly and thoroughly researched into every known website that vlogs or blogs about Steve Jobs’ awesome key note that was held in San Francisco earlier today. Feel free to check out my three favorite sites for up to the second updates… (Engadget, Gizmodo, TUAW) All three of these sites are major players and I watched all three of them today and literally was hearing the things Steve was announcing to those that were actually in the building as “live blogging time”. So yes, I was quick to put up the first information of Job’s announcement regarding the Macbook Air thanks to the awesome job these sites did in their liveblogging.
Here’s my McCord’s Moxie Simplification of the big keynote address:
(1) Steve seemed confident through out his entire speech which seemed to keep the booooos at bay, if there were any. The first item he mentioned, right off the bat, was the Time Capsule (an airport extreme base station PLUS a hard drive all in one). So those of us who have Macbooks and are getting tired of having to plug in our external hard drive to back up will be quite pleased.
(2) iTunes, iTunes, iTunes – I am SO thrilled with the opportunity of now being able to rent movies via iTunes. And the best part? You can rent a movie on your computer… then if you decide to watch it on your TV, you just push a button (Transfer) and send it to your iPhone. Then connect your iPhone to your TV and voila, you’re good to go. I tested this new service last night with Ratatouille and it worked flawlessly. Done and done.
(3) iPhone 1.1.3 – yes, I decided to stop jailbreaking my iPhone so I restored it and updated to 1.1.3. It’s great. Enough of this topic though…
(4) The thinnest laptop in the world! – MacBook Air – I won’t write much about this because I already did in an earlier post…. but I will leave you with Apple’s new commercial.
