So who watched Macworld?
« on: July 17, 2002, 07:24:05 AM »
Just watched the live broadcast, twice a year there is a live broadcast from the Macworlds (NY and SF).

The local Apple distributor here in Iceland always rents out a movie theater to watch the live broadcast and it was quite fun (free beverages wOOt). It was cool to see Phil Schiller wave Hi Iceland in the middle of his speech.

Anyhoo enough rambling, I my self was very dissappointed with the show, the 17" iMac has been buzzing around a lot so it wasn\'t a surprise. It was mainly a software show, which I suppose is fine. They showed off some of the features in 10,2 or Jaguar. It\'s really shaping up to be a fine OS. Found myself unimpressed by most of the programs, iTunes, iMovie and iDVD would probly be the most desired programs by Windows users, and with good cause.

Of course everybody was hoping for an upgrade to the seemly forgotten PowerMac, but most rumors say it\'ll be upgraded in August at Seybold a smaller Apple convention.

All in all, it was a fine thing to watch and a good excuse to get out of work (I was very sick you see ;)) but the contents of the show were less then impressive.

Nothing about FCP, or iMovie or iDVD.

Mainly about the new apps iChat, iSync and such.

INDEED THERE WERE :D

iPod, each version lowered in price by a hundred bucks and a 20gb version added. The 10 and the 20gb versions have a new scroll wheel, it\'s static so you scroll by touch. Very cool.
