2006Apple Special Event: Meh
28
2006
Well, Steve Jobs hath spoken and released unto the world… some obvious stuff and some entirely redundant stuff.
OK, I’m glad they launched a new Mac mini, with FrontRow + remote control, but that was 100% expected. Other than that? FrontRow now supports Bonjour sharing - a fairly obvious update. Then there were two not-so-revolutionary iPod accessories: a $99 leather iPod case (um, no thanks - but it’s classier than socks, I suppose) and yet another plug-your-iPod-into-a-speakers thingamajig. I’m sure it sounds swell but, you know, the way Apple is crapping on iPod accessory makers — the people who made the iPod what it is today — must be ruffling some feathers by now.

Why are they making such a fuss about those speaker units when you can just plug your ipod into any ol’ stereo anyways. I loved the picture of that monstrosity you published early in Jan. by the way.
