People that I talked to before the keynote were not expecting much. And what do you know, Apple delivered on that. The new stuff is nice, but not earth shattering. That&#8217;s got to be one of the reasons Apple is pulling out: they want to be able to control their message. Products will come out when they are ready, and not forced out to meet a show deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Makes sense if you are Apple, doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>More than a few people around me were talking about the lack of all talk concerning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/macosx\/snowleopard\/\">Snow Leopard<\/a>. Not one mention that I can remember. But hey, iTunes talk is exciting, right? Right?<\/p>\n<p>What really surprised me though was after the keynote. Usually, the foot traffic, especially near Apple&#8217;s booth, is almost overwhelming. Not so much this year. It&#8217;s a little slow, to be honest. In the <a href=\"http:\/\/nisus.com\/blogs\/images\/specialinterest.jpeg\">Special Interests Pavilion<\/a>, where we would normally reside, there are a <a href=\"http:\/\/nisus.com\/blogs\/images\/southhall.jpeg\">few gaping holes<\/a> where there would normally be a booth. Or several, actually.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so I am not painting a rosy picture here.
