Expecting Rain

In years past watching Steve Job's keynote at Macworld prompted an urge to purchase an Apple product. Sometimes the urge was met, in some cases it still lingers (I don't currently own an iPhone or iPod Touch).

Not this year. I think the things that were demoed were all very good looking products (MacBook Air) and services (iTunes movie rentals), but neither product fits me. I'm not looking for that lightweight of a laptop, and I don't typically rent movies.

I didn't watch the keynote live, nor have I seen it replayed. I followed the highlight feeds that were available hoping for "one more thing" that would be aimed directly at me. It didn't come. That being said, I don't feel they went in the wrong direction or that it was a failure as many of my coworkers were quite impressed.

I guess it is time to start pushing for the iPhone or iPod Touch. :)
