Macworld 2008 Impression
Jan 16th
The Macworld 2008 keynote is now behind us and it left a really bad taste for some of us. I think most existing iPod Touch users are a little upset with a couple of the announcements yesterday. The first announcement which I thought was good turned out to be sour. Steve Jobs said they will be adding five “new” apps to the iPod Touch, this includes: Mail, Maps, Stocks, Weather, & Notes. My initial thought was, “About time!”. Then that is when he said existing iPod Touch owners will have to pay $19.99. However, anyone buying a new iPod Touch yesterday and onward will have the five “new” apps already installed at the same price I paid a few months ago. I’m hoping Apple will see all the complaints and do the right thing by offering the five apps for free.
Here is what Macworld 2008 announced:
- MacBook Air
- Apple TV: Take 2
- iPhone Enhancements (Firmware 1.1.3)
- iPod Touch (Five “new” Apps – Firmware 1.1.3)
- Time Capsule (Works wirelessly with Time Machine)
