Well, the latest version of the iPod Touch was announced yesterday.
Pros: Cheaper, voice recording (details a little bit hazy), Nike+ (a surprise)
Cons: No camera (a pipe dream for me, perhaps, but there you go)
End result: Ordered one from Amazon last night--had a gift certificate
Got a look at the family plan prices for the new iPhone. Base plan is $130 for two lines? No thanks. That's just $10 cheaper than having two single-line plans. Either $30 for unlimited text messages or $0.20 each--nothing in between like the single-line plans? Talk about making an exciting product significantly less exciting.
Guess I'll be buying an iPod touch instead.
Ten years ago (OK, May 6, 1998) the iMac was introduced. I'd argue that this is the product that really brought Apple back. Granted, they missed the target on a couple of things, mostly the round mouse and the lack of CD burning. Dropping ADB and serial stuff for USB was a huge step forward and a bit risky.
I've still got my rev B version, which makes it just over 9 years old.
