All those calls for a cut and paste function in the iPhone’s operating system may be missing the real point – the guiding hand of Jobs and company to make people think about doing tasks on the iPhone in a different way.
SmugMug CEO DonMacAskill wondered why there wasn’t one more thing from Steve Jobs on Tuesday, namely a Mac for the less graphics-intensive desktop PC user.
The Mac mini may or may not be on its last legs, depending on who you’re talking to and how much hope you have. But heck, I’ve only got two legs, and they appear ready to continue working for quite some time; the Mac mini could last a while longer, too.
“[T]here are unconfirmed last minute reports that Apple may extend the life of the Mac mini by squeezing another slight revision from the petite desktop’s existing architecture,” reports AppleInsider. “According to those reports, such a move would be accompanied by significant price drops that would allow the forgotten Mac to linger for several more months as an extremely low cost, low performance offering.”
Since OS X Leopard will likely be a $129 upgrade for anyone who buys a Mac before the update hits the shelves, don’t be taken in by the sweet song of the new iMac.
Steve Jobs will lead analysts and the media through some non-iPhone, non-iPod related product announcements, which the entire blogosphere expects to be the next iteration of the iMac.
