Macworld I

Time for some preliminary Macworld opinions. I haven't looked at all the pages thoroughly enough, nor have I actually seen the keynote yet, but a bigger post will come once I have. In case you've forgotten the keynote's theme, "there's something in the air". Sadly, they didn't announce Apple Airlines, nor did they announce that Adobe AIR is getting a less retarded name. Oh well.

MacBook Air
The subnotebook everyone wanted is out now, so hopefully they'll shut up about it. It also has a "multitouch" trackpad, so I need to see the video to be convinced if it's that big of a deal. If it's anything like the other MacBooks though, the trackpad is probably way too huge. :/

iPhone/iPod touch software update
Not a surprise, seeing as how we've pretty much heard about it already a few weeks ago. Not so thrilled about the software update for the iPod touch actually costing something, but hey, if that means iTunes won't bug me to update my jailbroken beauty, I'm all for it. (Besides, I can do all of that and more for free?)

Time Capsule
It's an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive. Woo. Nothing much else to say. Surprised to see Luc-Olivier's prediction be half true. (His prediction was that now that our school upgraded all their Wi-Fi access points to AirPort Extremes with N, they'd make new ones. Right on.)

Apple TV and iTunes movie rentals
Nice to see Flickr on the Apple TV now. As for movie rentals, are we really supposed to be surprised? People have been predicting this for months. Not liking the new Apple TV UI though. :/

The rumor mill ruined the show, because they actually turned out to be somewhat right. Still wanting to see the keynote to see what this stuff is actually like. (The Leopard default background is still ugly and needs to be changed.)

On a completely unrelated note, it appears the 1 line now has on-board Wi-Fi, apparently thanks to a partnership with Rogers. I'm hoping the 2 line picks it up soon, which it probably should due to the high amount of people who go to the CEGEP via the 2 line.
