Most affordable PowerBook ever, and we will be shipping them in about two weeks

New 17 inch PowerBook G4 priced at $3299. Will be shipping them in February.

iLife is being made available on Saturday, January 25th.

Digidesign Pro Tools for OS X mentioned -- will ship this month.

Burton will introduce a snowboarding/skiing jacket with pouch and integrated controls on the sleeve. $499, Apple online store exclusive for this season. "Very limited edition."

iCal and iSync: 1.1 million downloads of iCal since release. Has spawned third-party calendar download sites. iSync "really important strategic application" because it synchronizes calendar to PDAs, cell phones, etc. "You'll be hearing a lot more ... in the coming year."

Yawn, same ol, same ol. Lot's of announcements, little to ship. Guaranteed to freeze all product at dealers.

Steve and Apple move deeper into niche territory.

Wasn't Ellen Feiss the 'girl who saved Christmas' in the parade of losers commercials?

No, Ellen Feiss was the one that looked like a stoner College Democrat. Janie Porche saved Christmas.

Um, the only items mentioned that have older versions sitting on shelves already are the PoewrBooks. And every Mac user (in other words, the people watching the keynote) know damn well to never plunk down for a new system within a month or two of a Macworld.
