Rather than focusing on that Mobile Me shit that nobody wants (especially for $100 a year), and that's going down as Apple's biggest fuckup in years, they should have focused on opening up the Apple TV's capabilities (the only people buying them are the people modding them so they actually function. Hello? McFly? Anybody home?), adding DVR capabilities (a partnership with Elgato would have done that easily enough), and adding a Blu-ray player.
Lots of loyal Apple customers just got tired of waiting. I'm sure I'm not the only Apple geek that went the Sony route.
I am very pleased with my hacked Apple TV, my iMac DVR setup, and my PS3, but I would have been even happier if I had been able to put them together as one unit, which I probably could have done for the money I paid for the Apple TV, PS3, USB stick & software, and the 500 GB external HD I use with my Apple TV.
The new iPods that were recently announced were nice, and all, but the 3G iPhone launch has been burned with blunders every step of the way (I decided to wait for iPhone iteration #3), and Cupertino seems to have been in reactionary mode for a long, long time now.
Steve Jobs needs to step back, take a few bites of humble pie, and remember that as much success as Apple has enjoyed in the past few years, they still ain't Micro$uck$ when it comes to size and power.
