Macworld NY 2002 Keynote
Well, MWNY 2002 has drawn to a close. We saw a good number of offerings from Apple. In short:
- New 17" iMac w/ GeForce 4MX and 17" cinematic screen (1440x900)
- 10GB iPod gets solid state wheel, 10% thinner, tethered remote, case, new firmware
- New 20GB iPod with same as above
- PC iPods debut (all models avail. in PC flavor, syncs w/ MusicMatch)
- iPod prices: 5GB = $299, 10GB = $399, 20GB = $499. "Extras" (remote, etc.) can be purchased for all iPods for $39
- New apps: iSync (phone sync), iCal, iTunes 3, Sherlock 3, enhanced Mail and Address Book
- OS X 10.2 Jaguar ships August 24 (early) for $129
See our play-by-play of the expo for detailed info.
As suspected, no new PowerMacs (they are rumored to be released in August). Keeping in mind the fact that Apple cannot work miracles every six months, we think this was a pretty good show. The iMac becomes far more appealing and we've got lots of new apps to play with and a few better ways to listen to our tunes. Check Apple's site.

I hoped that there would be new Powermacs but again no Powermacs just like in January. Hope Apple will do something soon. New software o.k. but I was expecting a little bit more.

really good applications
i was impressed by the rendezvous and jaguar complete
but 129 as a price? a little too much dont you think.
that new Imac looks decent now to work on with the widescreen 17!
PowerMacs coming august - just a month wait.

Honestly, I am extremely disappointed, since I could not see 99% of the broadcast.
On the other hand, I like the iPod update, the iTunes update and the Jaguar update. However, I don't like the idea of a widescreen iMac. To me, it just looks disgusting. On a Powerbook it looks cool. Aside a PowerMac it looks cool. But on an iMac just looks...awful.
I realize that Apple cannot bring forth PowerMacs every six months, but from what I have read there was not even a freakin ANNOUNCEMENT about newer PowerMacs coming soon. THAT and the fact that IF the new models have DDR-RAM, the Macs were not released at a big event, for a big product, are what got me startled.
I still hold my predictions for the PowerMac speeds/specs for August, assuming they are released then.

Great ALL iDisks will close down UNLESS you cough up a bunch of money to Apple.
So if you don't pay EVERYTHING on your current iDisk gets dumped in 75 days. Woohoo way to generate revenue Apple.
How about buying my nearly worthless stock for $49 a share instead?
