Apple WWDC Impressions and Safari 3.0 on Windows

June 11, 2007 Apple 2 Comments

Was it just me or did the reality distortion field seem just little less this year? Don’t get me wrong there were numerous really interesting features of OSX 10.5 Leopard that I just can’t wait to try out but nothing really jumped out as a huge earth shattering announcement.

Since Apple will be effectively raising the bar for what will now be considered “top-of-the-line” handsets the likes of Nokia, Motorola, and LG are going to have to step up to the plate or face an uncertain future. Ultimately the impact will be a positive one for everyone, even those who don’t buy an iPhone since other manufacturers will begin to adopt similar types of technology into their own phones as demand for those features increases.
