Apple goes for the bottom line.

Well, I watched Steve Jobs hawking the new additions to the Ipod line. Queue the yawn. Judging from the stock performance of late, he had to do something. On top of everything going on, Steve announced that iTunes now has a genius feature that does playlists. Uhhhhhhh. It sucks, OK? I downloaded the update and tried it. All the so-called genius feature does is show you what songs would make a cool play list in your library. By some odd coincidence, its all songs you have to buy from the iTunes store. nice try, Steve.

Thanks, Apple

WWDC 2008 is history. Its funny, thinking back to what was predicted and what Steve released. More notebooks or improvements to the existing line? Nope. GPS on the iPhone? Yup. More open sourcing on the iPhone? Yup. Seeding 10.6 to developers? Ummmmm sort of. They previewed the new platform in the afternoon session after the keynote.

I couldn't be more happy vis-a-vis the improvements for the iPhone. One question, Steve. Why didn't you just delay the release of the iPhone and have all this stuff in v1? Hindsight is always 20/20 right?
