$4,999.00! I mean really, who the hell is gonna buy this? Apple needs to get off it’s server based desktop high horse and get real. We need a $1200 mid tower.

2. iWork goes to the cloud, and starts to suck as much as mobile me does. The real news, it will be advertising supported. What will you do with the $99 you save? See number 4. 3. iPhone gets and incredible, amazing upgrade. 3Gz! AT&T upgrades nothing, but creates tiered data pricing. Bing is the default search engine. 4. iPod Mini gets a camera, you buy one because they lower the price to $99. The Nano is finally is discontinued. 5. Apple TV gets the once over and allows you to subscribe to ‘Cable’ channels, for no other reason then Steve lives to negotiate big deals like that. 6. Apple releases an actual TV that runs ‘apps’. Oh yah, you can buy stuff on it. Easily. iPhone works as a remote, crowd goes crazy. 7. Apple’s new version of Aperture is released, and it is a coupon for Adobe’s Lightroom 3. Steve reminds ‘the staff’ that the software thing was designed to sell computers. Reminds them Computer is not in the corporate name anymore. 8. The MacPro is quietly ‘upgraded’, but looks the same as it did 5 years ago. The iMac gets faster and better. Steve loves all in one computers, hates pieces, think Mac Classic. Looking for an affordable non all in one? Store staff trained to look at you in a new condescending gaze. 9. iTunes gets a complete makeover. New Moody Genius feature, and a way to actually organize and find your music, movies, app, etc. Phil introduces this, after Steve introduces the iSlate. 10. Desktop, iSlate and iPhone apps will be available via the iTunes store. Marketed as a way to always be up to date, and find new stuff to buy. Follow the money.
Apple has opened a new Store on67th Street and Broadway. Not a stellar piece of design for sure. No Public or Handicapped Elevator on the sales floor. I assume you can ask and they will escort you to an elevator. Now as I understand ADA, that is a violation. Separate access is not equal access. Function follows design.
