I'm pretty excited for this one. There is no great new thing, as far as I know, just some updated stuff, but it should be good. From the rumors, could be iPad mini, new iMacs (thats whats I'm most excited for), retina display in 13 inch macbook.


*Apple's stupid, blah, blah, fanboy, Windows 8, blah, blah, same old thing, blah <----- don't care

I hear people say that, but I have used the new map app a ton and it's never given me a bad direction. So maybe it's only in certain areas?

apple stuff is gay.

Apple maps SUCK. I travel a decent amount and using the new map app is miserable. There have been three times in the past 3 weeks where it literally couldn't find a route to where i needed to go. No possible route. I had driven it before so luckily I just winged it, but if I was in a completely new area, I would have been fucked. Also, searching for local businesses is terrible.

Yea they're unveiling the iPad mini, with it's revolutionary 7" screen.

What a waste, it'd be more efficient to tape 2 ipods together.

I'm sure they could have come up with a better name than "Ipad Mini"

Yes they do....arrow bottom left almost identical to Google maps.

Maps is definitely better than Google maps. I don't have to stare at my phone while I'm driving, it's faster and more accurate (down to feet), and it's more vesatile (overview, turn by turn, time/distance to next turn). After using it exclusively on a few long weekend trips I'm very happy with it.

Apple has not made billions of dollars by doing stupid things that discourage market share. Use your brain.

I thought this event should have had way more hype than the iPhone one. New iMacs look dope. Interested to hear more about the Fusion Drive.
