Apple “Lets Rock” event disappointing at best

Let me start by saying that I’m an Apple fan boy, and have never knocked them for anything, however this event that just ended was a HUGE disappointment.

Here’s the rundown with my comments for each.

1. New iPod Nano – Accelerometer, thinest ever, new design, more colors, who cares.

2. $79.00 in ear headphones – weak.

3. New iPod Touch – A little thinner, iPhone design, built in speaker, audio control on the side, lower prices. Now the built in speaker is a nice feature for game play.

4. Nike feature built in- touch is too big to bring jogging.

5. Showed off some upcoming games – Spore, FIFA and Need For Speed.

6. Pushing it as the best handheld gaming device.

7. iPhone 2.1 firmware – fixes lots of bugs. Fewer dropped calls, big battery life improvements. No crashes with Apps. Backing up is faster.

8. iTunes 8.0 – A few new features

9. HD TV show downloads and NBC is back on iTunes

Close the event with Jack Johnson.

Jack Johnson does not exactly rock. Where was the Let’s Rock?

Bummer.
