WWDC

Ok, I'm as disappointed as the next fellow that Jobs brought us no new-fangled gizmos and gadgets for our tech-pleasure - our collective tech-lust was no satiated by any means.  But we did get some new Mac Pros and Xserves - all well and good.  The preview for Leopard - what we got to see anyway - was rather interesting but not particulary earth shattering.  I must admit though I can't wait to get my hands on these new little features, but I'm raising my hopes (perhaps too high) that the secret features for Leopard are going to be kick-ass.  

Let us just remember however that WWDC is all about the developers, the people who actually by MacPros and have actually seen an Xserve in use.  The iPods and iPhone stuff is all about consumers, so you got to know there will either be some exclusive media event in the coming weeks like as happened before, or MacWorld SanFrancisco in January is going to be stratospheric in announcements.  Well it better be at least - here Apple is with the market in its hands and its time to pounce hard.  People are frothing at the mouths for anything Apple right now - especially iPod/iTunes related - but increasingly Mac related.
