I don’t get the Apple Nation…
Posted by hsin on 20th January 2008
Truth be told, I never paid too much attention to the Apple Nation. Sure, I kept up-to-date on many of the products they release, but not because they were from Apple. It was more that I wanted to see what’s the latest mp3 player and the iPod is one of the top choices, etc. This is just to say that I never paid much attention to Macworld other then read a news article here and there after the fact.
Since I got the Macbook Pro, I’ve been finding out a little more about Apple stuff mainly because I’ve been looking for software and utilities and since you can’t go to any Apple-related site without hearing about Macworld, I actually paid some attention to Steve Jobs’ announcements. This year there doesn’t seem to be much revolutionary new products coming from Apple as compared to last year when they announced the iPhone. At the same time, though, the Apple fanbois made everything sound like Apple has just invented fire.
Macbook Air? It’s a pretty neat product and while it might be something new in the Mac universe, sub-notebooks are hardly a new thing here in the rest of the world. Almost as soon as it was announced, Gizmodo did a comparison of Apple’s sub-notebook with 5 other sub-notebooks. At most in the sub-notebook category, it has some evolutionary refinements, but the Apple Nation was cheering as if they’ve never seen a light portable notebook before…
