I just finished watching the WWDC 2005 Keynote. The presentation was good, but I’m still surprised by the way the announcement/timeline was handled. No punches pulled, no consolation prize, no “one more thing.” More of a “yeah, we’re Osborning our line for the next year. k thx bye.”
Jobs’ hand-waving about new PPC products was the least convincing part of the keynote, and I hope that that gets addressed before mass confusion descends (I’m sure the cognitive dissonance is deafening right now, especially as the Mac faithful look at the top-end).
In any case, I’m looking forward to a decently performing PowerBook with Napa (my currently top of the line 1.67GHz G4 has issues with HD playback and is still lacking in ‘teh snappy’), and I’m really hoping for a good media hub solution soon (but let’s face it, I’ll probably end up with an XBox360 or a PS3).
An interesting aside, MacRumors was using AJAX for its live updates (although MacObserver’s page handled much better regardless).
