AWOL as of now.”

Weren’t you the one convinced by the announcement of this nonexistent service that Apple was going to lose? Can’t you be consistent or at least not treat your readers as if they have a memory span of one week?

Palm is already irrelevant. Given the depth to which it is embedded in the popular lexicon I think TiVo is a success as a product — unfortunately not so much as a company.

Despite the perceived success of TiVo, the only
successful mass market CE device from Silicon
Valley in recent years has been iPod.

Ummm… How about all the Palm PDAs & Treos…

You can’t fit all the things we would love to have in one MW. Plus, it’s too constraining for a company to gear all of its product announcements for one big date. We saw Apple having lots of announcements last Fall. It almost became a joke with all the announcements. I think things like the Media Center mini, etc., will all come in due time, Apple’s time.

These are already out as DVDs and they are not little – they are feature-length and feature-price (10 or 12 bucks). Is this the dry run for selling actual movies?

I was really hoping for a grand push into video. No new media deals either. Figured movie downloads would’ve been a sure thing or at least contracts with more TV networks. They did announce a lot, but not what I was expecting and nothing for me to buy.

Om Malik says the Consumer Electronic Show is bunk… that the REAL CES started this morning with Steve Jobs’ Keynote Speech to Macworld. Here’s what the AP says the Apple CEO said: Apple Computer Inc.’s historic shift to Intel Corp….

Just another example of Google putting out a shoddy product that Wall Street wets itself over. I challenge someone to name something Google has done well in the past 18 months outside of its core business, aside from look in the mirror and fawn over itself.

From Om Malik on Broadband, And Now For The Real CES, Macworld:
I think a lot of people forget why Jobs does what he does best: he focuses on making it easy for the consumer to use this inherently complex technology. He gives it to them in bits and p...

very good podcast, exactly what i thought. on the google video thingy i had just one more thought. how can you get into the video market and NOT put up the video of the keynote where this decision was announced?

Didnt have you usual two rounds this evening? ;-) But good stuff really. I think the whole net neutrality issue will be big this year.
