Apple announcement recap

[Todd Zaki Warfel]

Well, this was one of the most substantial set of announcements I can  
recall in years:

1. Time capsule—AE with built in server grade HD that's compatible  
with Time Machine (finally)
2. iPhone updates—maps, webclips, customized home screens, SMS  
multiple people, chapters for movies, lyrics for music. Fascinating  
how they're handling location w/o GPS—though combination of Google  
maps (triangulating cell towers) and Skyhook for Wi-fi.
3. iPod touch updates—mail, maps, stocks, notes, weather ($20  
existing, free for new)
4. iTunes movie rentals—30 days to start, 24 hours to finish. Start  
anywhere, finish anywhere.
5. Apple TV updates—software updates for movie rentals, Flickr, and  
YouTube. Rent right from your Apple TV.
6. MacBook Air—wicked thin, 13.3" widescreen LED backlit display,  
built-in iSight, full-sized backlit keyboard with multi-touch gesture  
support trackpad.

Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
