iWork

As I’ve said earlier, I’m really looking forward to using iWork ‘09 and iWork.com. I have moved completely away from using any Microsoft applications for my day-to-day routines. Ever since Office 2008 came out Pages, Numbers and Keynote have slowly taken over my dock and knocked Word, PowerPoint and Excel out. read more »

Underwhelmed

I have to say that was probably the worst Keynote I have followed in a long time.

Things I Liked:
1. iWork ‘09
2. Battery Concept for 17-inch MacBook Pro

Things I did not Like:
1. I don’t care about the new iLife features
2. Non-removable battery in the 17-inch MacBook Pro
3. NO NEW MAC MINI!!!

More thoughts later on…

UPDATED:
I’m really starting to think that the Keynote was underwhelming for a reason. Apple stated that this would be their last Macworld keynote, and that they will be moving to town hall events for future announcements. Could there be an announcement just around the corner? Could they have bored us to death with iLife updates because they want us to stop discussing and wondering why they no longer want to do large keynote presentations? What do you think?

Tomorrow is Apple’s final Macworld and I will have updates and thoughts throughout the day. A quick rumor roundup can be found here. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow, though I can’t say that I am excited about the idea of a new 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro with a non-removable battery. What new Apple products are you looking forward to the most???
