Today, I live streamed my reactions to the Apple “Let’s Rock” event:

As stated in the video, I had pretty low expectations overall and was not disappointed unlike half the web. I can’t understand how people get upset at Apple because of their own expectations. It’s September, the holidays are around the corner so you know Apple is going to refresh their iPod line. Why in the world would one expect an updated AppleTV with Blu-ray, updated Macbooks, or some snazzy new product no one ever conceived is beyond me. Time for a reality check: Apple is just an ordinary company, they don’t have Merlin the magician in their labs conjuring up magical devices (last time I checked). They are doing their thing and doing it well. If you’re tired of that or think it’s lame, then I can respect that, but if you get upset because Apple didn’t meet your abnormally high expectations then the fault is yours.

At any rate, I’m glad the iPod touch now has a speaker, you guys don’t know what you were missing with that feature The new iPod nano looks ok and I’m glad they included an accelerometer in it. I’m a bit salty that Apple decide to include the Nike+ software in the iPod Touch but not in the iPhone, but hey, it ain’t the end of the world. That’s Wednesday.

The Sept 9 keynote is available for download here.
