…and that all in such a slim case. “It’s amazing!”

Steve! You did it again. At first I was not amused, when you stepped into the ringtone market, although this is just a logical step. Boring….and stripping down the IPhone off its Edge/GSM Module and sell it as IPod was the next step that Apple had to take, off course.

Concerning Starbucks… well, I don’t drink coffee, and in Germany prices are far from cheap, so I don’t spend much time sitting at Starbucks. But hell, that was the next logical step, to provide the playlist of of a starbucks store. This feuture is just brilliant… or in your words, Steve “amazing!”.

Not that there are countless services that try to recognize a played song over telephone line, but Apple once again added the ease of use, by building up and changing the infrastructure. Now let’s hope that Apple puts out the API so that others can follow.

Just imagine your favorite DJ opened up its little store on Itunes and just when you leave the club where he just performed, the actual mix is right online and you can pick it up. Or you just get the playlist of every hughe cafe, store, club, whatever you are in. At the moment, video content doesn’t make much sense, but who knows what the future brings. Adding a cam to the Pod/IPhone and the posibility to stream directly to youtube, maybe? Well, the future has just begun and it is logical in all its steps. Hooraayy!!!

…. ohh.. and by the way: At the end of your keynote, I was amused, not to say euphoric –  like always, after Steve has left the stage.
