My opinion on Apple Special Event on 1 September 2010. I just used quite a while on watching this keynotes. In my opinion it was kind of a waste of my time. New iPods are cool, but in my opinion nothing too special.
iPod Shuffle – Seems just like it was before. They actually made it better than the last one, but it does not offer anything that would make you want to buy a new one. At least not fot me.
iPod Nano – The new one seems really hard to use. It’s almost as small as shuffle, so it’s too small for many people. It has removed the buttons, which I like at my own 8GB nano. I’m really happy with my own nano.
iPod Touch – This seems to get thinner and thinner. I think it might even be a too thin for me now. The camera is a nice addition, but it was not really a surprise. This is a great device to get if you want to have one, but to buy this in the place of your old iPod touch is kind of a vaste of money.
These are just my opinions on these iPods.
iTunes 10 though seems like a great device. The new icon is a good addition and Ping seems like a interesting idea and I would like to test this one. This did seem like a great addition to the family. Really looking forward to testing this one.
iTV. Or Apple TV. This continues Apples system to throw out the nerd fans and to embrace the average users. I don’t really like this, but it’s the most profitable market, so I’m not really that surprised. I think that this might be a sad day for some nerd fans like me, but most people will like this anyway. Other thing that really worries me is how this will work in other places than US. I live in UK and I don’t think that this is going to work here. Though I don’t even really care to try this.
iOS 4.1 and the updates to iPads. Nothing surprising really. Some things that you just waited for them to come up with. Nothing really new and shocking in my opinion. Not really worth the hype.
That’s my opinion of keynotes on September 1. I posted these opinions when I had watched about 60 minutes of the show. Not the best of Apple or Steve Jobs. Even though I do have negative opinions on these keynotes, I think that these products are going to sell a lot.
