So it came and went. No big surprises, except for #4. Which is going to be another post. Because I’m dying in anticipation.

  1. Time Capsule/Full Airport Extreme
    • Nice. I’m probably going to be buying a second mac, and so, Time Capsule will be nice to have. One less cord to attach my laptop to.
    • Full Airport Extreme… not so much. Why can’t I just hook an external HD to a regular Airport Extreme…
  2. iPhone/iPod Touch
    • SDK: Time to learn Cocoa in a month and a half. Hooray.
    • Expected: Maps (Extra Sweet), SMS multiple people (Meh), Webclips (Kinda Sweet), Customized Home Screen (Sweet)
    • iPod Touch: $20 to get 5 applications? Meh.
  3. iTunes Rentals/Apple TV
    • Every major studio: Touchstone, Miramax, MGM, Lionsgate, Newline, Fox, WB, Disney, Paramount, Universal, Sony. Hooray.
    • I might use it. Freaking, on the iPhone, too? My goodness. I can rent movies on the JesusPhone?
    • Ooh. 30 days to start watching, 24 hours to finish. An interesting take on the broken online movie rental market.
    • YES. $2.99 for older, $3.99 for new. Cheaper than expected. I don’t see anything about HD content, though.
    • Later this year… what a letdown.
    • APPLE TV WOO HOO. Is this my second mac? (With silly hacking intended, of course.)
      • Do people even use .mac? I’m probably going to be getting my Photos from Flickr anyway.
    • AH HA! HD! HD! $4.99 isn’t too bad. For one night’s fun with a bunch of friends: perfect.
    • Oh? Just a software update?
      • Price drop: $229. Woot.
    • Software: 2 weeks.
