Even though I was underwhelmed by the keynote this January, I have to say that the single most important item here is the iPhone, with the AppleTV coming in second.

The iPhone is of course the big buzz (and will make big money) but I think the Apple TV (and in a lower extend for the time being Airport Extreme) will do more for the penetration of Apple in the home.

Well, if the AppleTV ever drops to around $100, I'll probably buy one. I think $300 is way too much for what's basically a stripped-down, crippled Mini with video out ports and some custom software.

If I ever spend $500 on a phone, it will certainly be an iPhone. But I don't have any kind of cell phone now, and if I did I'd want a basic one (or maybe a more expensive one with a good camera built in, but I don't think there ARE any cell phones with really good cameras).

I do WANT an iPhone, though. It's just damned cool. I've wanted a multi-fingered UI for years. But I really want it on my desktop. Maybe in a few years...

I said iPhone, though the second biggest really is the new AirPort Extreme. Think about it: Since Apple launched AirPort, the device has been the same ever since 2000 or so when they introduced it. 7 years the same thing, just updated... ever seen that before at Apple? Even though, when you look at Apple and think of AirPort, automatically _that_ appears in your head, doesnt mean it shouldnt be re-newed, which is what they did a few days ago. Just a shame he didnt include it in the Keynote, btu I guess he had his reasons.
