Admit it. You’re a Geek.

This Friday is Australia Day but for Microsoft and Google, it’s becoming a battle in the skies. Both have announced plans to hire planes to photograph part of Sydney and Australia.
Microsoft has the Look Up and Smile campaign, while Google has the put yourself on the Google Map strategy. Great to see some air tech biffo!

Oh that’s right, Steve Jobs usually wears one.

So it’s no secret that I loves me macs. Todays keynote address has left me pretty giddy. Here’s a brief summary…

iTunes Store

Jobsy reminded us how popular iTunes is with additional TV Shows and movies. He announced a partnership with Paramount.

Zune
Speaking candidly on the newest iPod competitor, th Zune Jobsy simply stated that the Zune could only manage a 2% market share.

AppleTV
Previously dubbed the iTV, Jobsy announced that this product will go by the name AppleTV. With some impressive specs including built-in wireless, HDMI, 720p HD video, 40GB hard drive, Intel, network capabilities for up to 5 computers. He demonstrated the product revealing an iTunes interface, connectivity with a MacBook and a nice price point of $299. Look for it in Feb.

iPhone
Jobsy hyped this one big time, “This is the day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years. Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything.”
Apparently Apple is reinventing the phone. Using multitouch, running OSX, iTunes sync, Wifi, Bluetooth…you name it, it seems to have it, they’re teaming up with Cingular and are looking towards grabbing a 1% market share in 2008.


Apple Inc.
Jobsy finished off by announcing that they’re changing their name from Apple Computers Inc. to Apple Inc. after realising the immense popularity of their peripheral products like the iPod (and plan on doing the same with the iPhone). John Mayer joined him on stage to finish the keynote with a couple of songs that one assumes will be DRM-enabled.

Jobsy never fails to disappoint.
