I feel a little let down...

It seemed like there should've been something bigger at this event, but there wasn't.

Mac mini - everybody knew it would happen sooner or later, now it's even more appealing to put in the living room.

leather cases - pass

iPod HiFi - cool, but I don't have any need for it, especially at $350

I think the strategy worked.

Perhaps this event was an attempt for Jobs to kind of make us more skeptical and approach his next big event with less expectations. This is so he can wow us with a new product called the iRocket, which will take us all to a new undiscovered "iPlanet" where people actually foam at the mouth over high-priced iPod accessories. Just a thought. Happy
