Yay :\
I'm not worried. I shall continue the faithful tradition I've carried on with every new release from Apple. I'll ignore it. They have yet to come out with anything that says to me, "you can't live without one." There is always a tremendous amount of hype surrounding a new product or version, and I think that's where they win over the majority of their customers - their lemmings.

My personal favorite bit of mindless advertising balderdash came with the iPad when Apple described its 9 1/2 inch screen as being "ideal for watching movies." That may indeed be the best thing you can do with it, but that's just because it's not "ideal" for anything else. I'm sorry, but I just can't think of anything that a screen that small is "ideal for watching" - unless maybe you want to feel a little nostalgic about watching old episodes of "I Love Lucy" and "The Lone Ranger" on a tiny TV. My 47 inch TV comes a lot closer to being "ideal for watching movies," but I'd much rather have something like the new 80 inch model that's out now. Of course, for the price, I could just buy myself a car and drive to the theatre.
