Post #12

I have chosen to do a post about Macworld 09 from an article on engadget. There were many rumors that were talked about before Macworld, some of them were pretty preposterous and some of them would have been really cool, but almost none of them were true. One of the biggest rumors that was basically never going to happen was an iPhone nano. I personally am glad that apple was smart enough to stay away from this, because the last thing that my iPhone 3g needs is a smaller screen, and a bigger challenge typing emails. One of the more disappointing products that didn't show its face at this years Macworld was a refresh of the iMac and Mac mini. Many people had speculated that this was surely going to be true because it has been a while since the last refresh of the iMac, and there has never been one for the Mac mini. The mini has become increasingly obsolete due to its low specs, and at least deserved a bump is CPU power and RAM. In the end Apple only announced the new 17" macbook air, a new version of iLife and iWork, and the new pricing system for iTunes. All I can do is hope that some of the rumored products will show up at WWDC later this year.
