Apple’s “one more thing…” gave us iTunes 6 (hot on the heels of iTunes 5), video-playing iPods, iTMS selling videos (what kind of quality, I wonder?) and a thinner iMac with “Front Row”, a remote control, built-in iSight and no modem.

I’m disappointed. Partly because I don’t see the point of video on an iPod. The screen’s simply too small to be able to enjoy it. 320 x 240 resolution? Ha! (But then, I thought the same about camera phones.) Spurred on by ThinkSecret’s articles on the announcement, I had been hoping for PowerMacs with dual-core G5s with IBM’s PowerPC 970MP chips, and updated PowerBooks. Perhaps they’ll turn up soon.

Too braindead to write more—an effect of staring at COBOL all day.
