Thanks for the link, for some reason I thought the new launch stuff was all a few hours off yet, ie I'd catch it at breakfast time.

Much information to be digested here, would be rash to comment without proper consideration.    :)

if you pick up your iPhone or iPad and visit Apple's home page, it's currently just one big link to the keynote.  Which of course you can then stream via your Apple TV.

All about the watch so far, I'm about 10 mins in...

"Room goes absolutely silent as Apple introduces someone from Microsoft. "  :lol:

They are expecting him to run to the centre of the stage, open his jacket and show everyone the Semtex strapped to his chest & the big pressure trigger in his hand. <jk>

Apple & MS in the same room not fighting each other is the 'end of days' to all the Apple fanbois & tamed Press.
It does not compute ..... ??? ???

Yes the Microsoft moment was a bit of a surprise.   I notice he conformed, as did most presenters, to the strict U.S. Tech Company dress-code, of casual shirt hanging outside jeans.   Makes you wonder what they wear to make the weekend feel different, pressed shirt and tie for lawn mowing? :D

The big new iPad looks pretty amazing.    The slide showing how graphics performance has evolved, was it 160 fold since iPad 1 ?  I've played with code that exercises the graphics processors on early iPads and found they could handle all I threw at them so if this one is 160 fold better then... Wow.

The new Apple TV looked interesting too.  And maybe a bit more likely to be priced within reach of my actual pocket money.  At least if I save up for a few weeks.  ::)

I just switched on the telly.   BBC news is making a big deal that today is, in their words...

Quote
The official start of the Apple Season.

...Now I know the BBC has been accused of being over-supportive of the Cupertino company's product line, but had they gone too far this time, in response to yesterday's new launches?   No I doubt it, they were interviewing a CEO of an industry organisation, a gentleman wearing a smart-looking coat over crisp blue shirt and neatly striped tie.   That'll not be the same 'Apple' then. :D
