Thanks Steve..

.. for a US$19.95 upgrade for my iPod Touch so I can have the same features I've already hacked into it from an iPhone
.. for a US$1999 thin Macbook with a non-replaceable battery and an 80Gb hard drive (seriously, you couldn't fit a 160Gb from an iPod? that would have actually made it a useful product, but no, the only other option is a AU*$1700* "upgrade" to a 64GB SSD drive)
.. for dropping the price of the Apple TV in the US but not in Australia
.. for the Time Capsule WLAN AP with a 1TB hard drive that costs AU$199 than buying an Airport Extreme base station and a USB 1TB hard drive to plug into it

So sure, last night was no iPod-hiFi and leather iPod cases, but it sure was crap.

1.8" drives

http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html suggests that 80 and 160 gig drives aren't the dimensions?

No, the 160Gb is slightly larger, but c'mon, it's like 2mm.. I sure they could have made it fit :)

But then they won't be able to sell the 160GB version in 6 months so they can pretend that they're innovating!

Haha, oh yes =^.^= When will people come to their senses and see that Apple's just been pretending to innovate all this time??
