I wouldn’t be a responsible tech blogger without commenting on the Apple Keynote, would I?
Not only does the iPhone look pretty sweet, it’s going to save me a chunk of money. I was set to buy the E61, but now I’m going to wait for an iPhone, which won’t be available until June, and that’s because of FCC regulations, which means it might be even longer before it’s available in Canada. Yes, not spending money right away counts as saving money. I think that’s what it actually means. I didn’t always realize that, and remember several purchases when I was newly out in the world in my school days where I rationalized, “hey, I’m going to buy this eventually anyway, so I might as well buy it now…” Er, sorry, did I say “in my school days?” I meant “last week.”
The Apple TV thing looks cool, and I’m curious about the software behind it, but it looks too optimized for the iTunes music store, which doesn’t sell TV shows or movies in Canada. I currently have an old laptop permanently wired to the TV (it actually can’t move, because the SVHS cable is kinda glued on due to a broken pin - if anyone knows how to get a pin out of a SVHS socket, please please please let me know), which is bulky and inelegant, but it can play all kinds of codecs.
