Apple's big announcement of the now officially named iPhone 5 was today and we were THERE! No, that's a lie. We weren't there. We were at work where we were supposed to be and, as always, are regurgitating other people's efforts. Thanks, other people, for doing all of the heavy lifting.
Since there was so much in the Apple keynote we decided to devote the entire show to Apple and our humble but certainly not meek opinions about the iPhone 5, the new iPod Touch and Nano, and iTunes. Joe thinks iTunes is still going to suck. Kevin is reserving judgement at this time.
[NOTE: Kevin mentioned that iTunes 10.7 was available but it's not the new version that was announced. That's "coming in October"]
We had a really excellent show going up until the "Hello" chime when Joe's Skype crashed... taking the recording with it. Good thing we hadn't gotten that far but future shows will be double-recorded.
