Yesterday, Steve Jobs of Apple held his usual keynote speech at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference at the Moscone Center, San Fransisco. I usually thoroughly enjoy Jobs's keynotes; they are a well-planned piece of theater, complete with drama, comedy, and even action. In between, of course, some new products are announced, and some meaningless figures are given (classic example of spin doctoring: use only the figures of your strongest market, in Apple's case, the US laptop market; ignore the rest). However, this time, the theater part seemed to far outweigh the new-products-part. And that's a shame. Note: The, Tuesday Eve Column.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed with the "new products" announced. But then again, this is a developers conference and I suppose they should only discuss things relating to developers... and a new iPod doesn't really fit into that category.
On the other hand, the "Top Secret" features in Leopard are interesting. Personally, I think they might be something relating to a mobile device. Think about it, Notes in Mail, a To-Do "service", standardized iCal format... they all sound like items finally implemented from the Newton OS.
Perhaps the "Top Secret" items include better handwriting recognition, a pen-based interface, etc.; all prepping for some kind of mobile version of Leopard like the tablet version of Windows XP... only done right.
