Macworld 2009 Round-Up

The Macworld keynote without Steve Jobs is still the place to be.

Ok, so no major ‘world-changing gadgets’ from San Francisco this year, but to Mac fans it was still fun with the evolution of some products. Here’s a link round-up from the big tech blogs of Macworld 2009:

• iTunes Gets DRM-free music
• 17″ Unibody Macbook Pro
• Photos from Day One.
• New iWork and iLife go to the web with subscriptions. Woo – face recognition in iPhoto.
• Rumoured things that didn’t show up.

If you have time watch the whole Keynote presentation via Quicktime here, which is the best way to experience it, well other than being there yourself.

It’s interesting to see that Apple’s shares slid right after the keynote where nothing that analysts could go crazy for. Most likely another reason why this is Apple’s last Macworld.
