The trouble with creating something revolutionary is that people expect something more. Just ask Mac Daddy Steve Jobs. Apparently, many geeks are quite disappointed during his keynote speech Macworld 2008 yesterday.
For those who missed the live keynote speech or too lazy to know the details, Mahalo’s Veronica Belmont amazingly compressed this 90-minute speech in just 60 seconds. Otherwise, Information Week has a comprehensive summary to satisfy your curiosity about Time Capsule, the slimmest laptop called MacBook Air, iPhone/iPod touch upgrade and iTunes movie rental.
Jobs failed to excite the public for just one reason – there is no new iPhone to show off. In defense, there are some new products unveiled but do not have enough pizzazz to make the attendees praise Jobs like some kind of god. Even the market did not get excited for Apple shares fell hard during and after his keynote speech.
