Let’s face it. Macworld Expo 2008 didn’t precisely blow folks away with its product intros. There was the MacBook Air, Apple TV Take Two and…um…not much else. And there could have been. Think about it. The Mac Pro was quietly upgraded in the days that led up to the event (psst, hey you, interested in some raw computing potential?), and now the iPhone and iPod touch have received some major memory upgrades in the February slump. Both upgrades, as we have now seen, were relegated to Tuesday-morning sticky notes.

It’s not as whether

Apple couldn’t have announced that morning’s memory upgrades in January. I’m pretty certain these new iPods and iPhones didn’t just magically spring into existence within the last 3 weeks. The product that was announced, the (*yawn*) major AppleTV upgrade with movie rentals. is already delayed, and no sign yet of the “late February” iPhone SDK.

So what’s going on with Apple? Is there some sort of mojo shortage? Or possibly Steve just wanted some of us to do badly in our keynote predictions[1]. You tell us in the comments.
