There's nothing really exciting about 3 TB of storage (Apple says 2, but they're only selling drives up to 500 GB) inside a Mac with quad Xeon cores? There's nothing really exciting about using Mail to subscribe to RSS feeds? There's nothing really exciting about a system-wide To Do service that all applications can partake in? Maybe it's just me, but every single one of those features has me more excited than an iPhone would. Throw in some less-exciting-but-very-useful features like virtual desktops, boolean searches in Spotlight, and Web Clips; and I think Leopard is a far sight better than "underwhelming."

Perhaps it was an experiment to see how the crowd would react and to spread the notion that it was a developers conference as opposed to a consumer product showcase. Apple seems to be saving consumer-oriented releases to more specialized events. It was a little weird to see other people popping in and out of the keynote.

No Doubt. To think that people buy Apple product only because of his delivery is obsurd. He means alot to the company but he is not the company. At some point a younger Steve Jobs will fill the shoes and the next generation will buy Apples. We can only hope the grooming has begun and for goodness sake. Do not do as MS has done. Balmer is a joke. Steve Jobs is a great marketeer! No Doubt. To think that people buy Apple product only because of his delivery is obsurd. He means alot to the company but he is not the company.
