Re: MacWorld Keynote/Announcements Thread
Of the things that were announced (at the keynote and on the online store), I have to say impressed me the most was the new AirPort Extreme Base Station...

3 Computers can be connected using the 10/100 LAN ports
A USB port for printers or hard drive
(I would love to see how many people can use this thing in a wireless fasion)

And, I'll be honest, I'm very doubtful of the iPhone...

Now don't get me wrong. Looks very nice. Has lots of features (iPod feature being #1 in my opinion) and would be of great use for those who would love to have multiple things on one device (though, to be honest, if I wanted to find out what the weather was like, I'd go outside for once)...

However, the first disappointment is (of course) the price.
$499 for 4GB
$599 for 8GB

Second, I was a little disappointed that Apple wasn't able to set up any agreements with the other providers (Virgin, Tracfone, Sprint, etc.), though I am sure they will set up agreements with them during the year.

AppleTV sounds like a great idea, and the price sounds reasonable. However, or maybe I'm just blind as a bat, but shouldn't there have been some sort of support for some of us that still use A/V (Yellow, White, and Red)?
