After more than a week of rumors and hearsays, Apple finally unveiled its new products this morning. First off was the new Mac mini with the Intel processors. These new Minis are mediacentric, meaning that Steve Jobs want these to be the center of your living room. I wouldn't mind having one of these babies next to my setup.
Next off was the iPod Hi-fi. Now, these is a product that is worth considering. If its performance is as good as the initial reviews from those invited to the announcement, then this will be very popular. Although personally I have no use for this (I connect my iPod directly to the A/V receiver and then to a 7.1 JBL surround sound setup), this will be a welcome addition to a small apartment, loft or bathroom.
I am somewhat disappointed that they still have not announced an iBook with an Intel processor.
On a totally unrelated subject, Microsoft will announce a new gadget dubbed "Origami" this Thursday. It is said to be a small, affordable tablet PC. Is this the iPod killer people are worried about? It is said that Microsoft will sell a portable media center for next to nothing to convince people to switch from iPod and its very profitable iTunes store to Microsoft and its crappy wmas? Let's see this Thursday.
Canon has also announced a new DSLR, the EOS 30D. And to think that I had just bought the EOS 20D. Crap!
