Well in least in my eyes MacWorld 2008 come up short.  I perceive the four things that Steve Jobs introduced at MacWorld as more of expected evolutions than revolutions with the possible exception of the MacBook Air.  Time Machine was very cool, nothing needs to be said for MacBook Air except for awesome, Apple TV is a great enhancement but not a show stopper, and then there is the iPhone updates - UG.  The iPhone update with Google Maps just bugs the crap out of me.

Let me just preface this with - Apple has come up with a very ingenious way to locate iPhone users on Google Maps allowing them to route themselves around, etc.  BUT, aren’t we overlooking a very simple solution to locating ourselves?  Given the fact that triangulating cell towers and wifi hotspots would allow you to locate yourself inside that is where the benefit stops.  Why not add a gps?  Even use it in conjunction with the above if you wish.  You will have to go outside anyway to get where you are going so you would be able to pick up your gps signal then.

And just another quick gripe, where is the larger storage capacity?

Until there is larger storage capacity and gps included in the iPhone they have not won me over.

That said, no one can say that Apple does not have an impressive line-up of products.  And now I think I am going to go rent a movie on iTunes.
