A Ping is all you got? – Apple starts boring me

by scholly on September 1, 2010

So it is over – the big September iPad show from Apple … let’s see what we got:

  • Frontcamera, iPhone display and slimmer case for iPod touch
  • Touch screen for iPad nano
  • a retro iPad shuffle (WTF?)
  • new Apple TV with no real HD and 75% smaller (but that’s basically it)
  • iTunes 10 with – PING .. ya, exactly …PING

http://www.apple.com/itunes/

So the hardware updates are consequent but not at all unexpected … no they are actually boring (no one in facebook actually took notice) – the only “wow” Apple got today was for their new software piece iTunes in version 10, coming with a custom made social service only made for the software (and an app for iPod & iPhone). Seriously – a social network, only available in iTunes? My assumption is that this will not work, because I really do not know anyone who LIKES iTunes and uses it only if necessary.

Steve’s goal is that we would use it to explore music … why not starting with a better “search” in your crappy software Steve?

Wow, I am a really deep Apple-Fan-Boy-Crisis … from Apple lover, to a really annoyed iPhone user to a bored geek.

Apple, you really need to impress me in January 2011 (iPad v2?) or I look for better gadgets somewhere else.
