I sort of feel like a traitor after my last post, but it doesn't seem like Apple cares about much beyond the iPad and Aperture these days. I would like to see some new MacBook Pros, Mac minis and the 10.6.3 update soon. How about it Steve? I will take the iMovie update though.

It does seem like Apple is a little over-extended at the moment, but I don't feel like they are neglecting any of the product line. It might even be better that they are slowing down. This could lead to fewer issues and improved quality when new products and/or updates to existing products are released. That's just my humble opinion.

I'm thinking 10.6.3 and an iTunes update might drop next week ahead fo the iPad being released.

Nice to update imovie but unless you have aperture this update seem's stupid.
