I kind of felt sorry for Steve Jobs last week because he got a raw deal. Folks seemed to be expecting an iPhone-like announcement and instead got nice improvements on existing products and a wonderful new laptop. I personally think the impact of the improvements to Apple TV and seemingly Apple-led move to ultra-thin laptops to be, in combination, potentially just as big as the iPhone in terms of impact, if not revenue. However, it is interesting to note that the next iPhone-like product may be a secret offering coming from HP in the second half of the year.
