MacWorld Update: iPhone Nano?

In case you haven’t been lucky enough to go to San Francisco for the latest edition of Macworld, you haven’t missed much this year. I know a lot of folks are impressed with the iPhoto and DRM-free music on the iTunes, but in reality, I was waiting for 1. Steve Jobs to show up and surprise us all 2. Steve to introduce another out-of-this-world new device.

But it’s not too late to get some new features in for the iPhone. There are still rumors going around that Apple will announce iPhone nano. The chances are slim, but that doesn’t mean we can dream. What I don’t expect to see is another underwhelming day at MacWorld. What could be worse is if Apple comes out and announces iPhone in colors like green, yellow, and pink! Wouldn’t that make this whole event worth our while?

MacWorld Wrap-Up: Does iPhone Make You Greedy?

So MacWorld was another exciting event this year, not as exciting as previous years, but still it was better than CES 2008. We got to see the first MacBook Air and also iPhone firmware 1.1.3. But why is that everyone is complaining about the MacWorld being a lackluster event?

Personally, I believe the Apple nation has to come to expect a lot from Apple each and every year. Apple is a great, innovative company and with its product Apple has managed to change many industries. However, Apple cannot come up with an iPhone-type innovation every single month. iPhone was introduced about 6 months ago and iPod touch and firmware upgrades followed in the late 2006, so for MacWorld goers who were expecting iPhone Gen 2 or maybe an iCar, it was a fairly lackluster event. But for everyone else, Apple made a couple of steps forward with its new MacBook line, Apple TV, and even the new iPhone firmware. Besides, we all know Apple is going to woo us again. Very soon…
