Apple Event, San Francisco - Discussion Thread

Its average... no different to Pandora or Last.fm

Except it's built in - no additional apps/downloads/site registrations.

All of the above put me off things like this. Probably because I don't need them. However, if they are included with new versions of software I already use then I'll be more inclined to use them. I think the majority of people are the same, so it might not be different to alternatives out there - but it will be convenient enough for the masses to start using.

Yeh, the games guy said they won it in 2007, also about his 360 moves destroying the DEfence,

Americans just can't do football, even if they know what they are talking about

Ah, that was Phil Schiller - you get the impression he's the laughing stock of Apple.

Ha, fair enough. I agree, he is rubbish :)

Not a brilliant apple keynote, but i guess the main one is January and what really can you do with the nano before it becomes the main ipod?

Looks decent. Played abit with genius in itunes and maybe there are other variants before it, however this is great tbh, actually works and not just completely random, i'll definitely use that because i find making playlists manually such a pain and because i have so much music it's nice to get a good playlist done in one click.
 
Schiller is used as a bit of a joke sometimes but I'm sure he's useful in the right circumstances.

His demo today was pretty awful and awkward, I found, not aided by the car in Need for Speed disappearing at one stage and him scoring one of the softest goals in any football game that you're likely to see. His performance in Spore Origins wasn't much better, he kept getting bitten.

All in all the keynote was what I realistically expected. There's always the hope in the back of your mind that something big does come up but it can't keep happening every time Apple have a keynote, they would run out of potential products and start making useless un-necessaries for the market.

Their quietness over the last two keynotes indicates to me that they're working extremely hard on something new or that they're continuing to keep the iPhone on the nipple of the company.

Whilst we all want new shiny things to go 'Oooh' at, getting the iPhone right is a sensible priority at the moment. It's going to hopefully be the kickstart of many people switching over to Macs full time and after the MobileMe incidents, they've a lot of making up to do in terms of user experience.

Today was only ever a nice update. Thought the new Nano colours were excellent and refreshing, the Nike+ built into the Touch was a nice feature to have and the new designed slimness and shiny back makes it look like a much better product.

All being well, the 2.1 update for the iPhone will cure a lot of people's problems and there'll be less to complain about all round.
