My personal Review of the Macworld Keynote 2009

Steve Jobs at an Apple Keynote

Today Apple held its annual Keynote at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. I followed the show by one of the several Text Feeds available on the net during each Keynote, Macprime.ch was my choice.

The first several minutes excited me quite a lot – it was about iLife ’09, especially about iPhoto. The rest of the show was quite interesting and typical Apple-like too, I even got those classic Keynote-watching-feelings even if I could just read some informative texts every several minutes.

However, here is my personal review about the new products and only in reference to the text stream I followed:

Update: for those who have not already noticed – the Keynote record is officially available from the Apple website.

iPhoto
Faces: nice idea, looks great, but will it work well and how useful will it be?
Locations: a bit more interesting, but I mean I know myself where I shot my pictures.

iWork
Keynote: FINALLY A KEYNOTE REMOTE APP FOR THE iPHONE!! Nice price with 0,99 Cent, too. (unfortunately it seems not to be available in the App Store yet)
Numbers: Please Apple, if you say you considered the wishes of many users, allow to turn text to 90° inside cells.
iWork.com: I will have to try it out, sounds quite interesting. But please consider the general security risks in such online Document Sharing services!

17″ MacBook Pro
Sweet thing. Gets on my This-could-be-my-next-Mac list.

I am looking forward to watch the whole stream, which will usually be published by Apple a few days after the Keynote.
