So, the entire keynote was devoted to the Apple TV and the new iPhone. There was no mention of Leopard, nothing on iWork or iLife, noting on displays, and nothing new on iPods. Steve spend most of the two hours on the iPhone.

I just got my Mac mini set up as a TV media device. It does a lot more than the Apple TV, so I don't think I'll be buying the Apple TV. As for the iPhone, the prices quoted ($499/$599) are for new two-year contracts with Cingular. Currently my contract expires in February 2008. Depending on mid-contract pricing, I will probably pick one of these up when they ship in June.

As for a new computer, I guess I'm waiting for the next revision of the Mac Pro or until March, whichever comes first. At least my bank account won't be taking a big hit before I find a good job.
