They should've titled this keynote the "Grab your ankles while we rape you" speech.

So, Apple has done their little speech about their "fun and exciting" stuff.

Turns out it was an announcement to show that they have their Intel Mac Minis (never saw THAT coming), an overpriced leather iPod sleeve, and a iPod boombox called the iPod HiFi. Maybe I missed something when Jobs said he was an audiophile, because A) iPods don't have the best in class audio quality, and B) iTunes sells lossy music at 128 kbps (and yes I know that AAC is pretty good, but it's still not audiophile quality) And where are the tweeters, oh great and glorious audiophile Jobs?

Here's a picture of the leather case for the Nano, somehow still the same price as the sleeve for the regular iPod.

I wonder what the profit margin is on that?

I think VGcats has all this perfectly summed up in this comic.

Now to wait for Thursday and see what Microsoft is going to tell us about Origami.


Edit: I just want to add this wonderful little tidbit: Apparently Apple ditched the Radeon 9200 for Intel Extreme Graphics in the Mac Mini, with shared memory... Mr Jobs, I think you will find that your reality distortion field is about to blow up, you may want to run.
