MacWorld Keynote
It's not that every keynote needs to have something for me. I didn't really expect anything from this one - based on the rumor sites, and I wasn't surprised. I like the Time Capsule, and I think the MacBook Air has an audience (it's not me, but it's got an audience), and while I like the option of movie rentals, I have that in Comcast OnDemand, so there's nothing new there.
The addition of the apps to the iPhone and iPod Touch are nice, but since I don't have either, I'm not impacted by the announcement. I was a little taken aback by the $20 fee for the iPod Touch users, but I guess they have to sell it for something - like the 802.11n update for Tiger. I did think that $20 is steep, but what the heck... it's the cost of early adoption.
I will say that the only thing that looks even remotely like something I might get is the Time Capsule. The problem there is that the drive is contained in the box. It'd be great to be able to configure the unit to use a network drive - or let Time Machine use a network drive itself, so that I wasn't stuck with their drives.
I want to put in a RAID 5 system with lots of expansion, and that's not in the cards at this time with this solution. Well... maybe soon enough, they'll have some update for this to Time Machine. Until then, I don't really mind the cord all that much. It's an inexpensive solution to a hard problem that I really like having with me.
