Yep. The Mac World Expo has all of us Mac nerds buzzin’ about new Mac-y goodness. I dig the new offerings … and not because they are something that I would buy. They seem more geared to the Windows user that wants Mac but doesn’t want to outlay the cash for one. Switch now, oh Windows user, and come the light that is Apple!
Mac Mini
Not something I would purchase for myself, but I have already had a Mac lusting friend say he would probably get one. His PC bit the dust (shocker) a few months ago and he’s been needing something new. And what better than a Mac mini. He already has the set-up from his old Dell. And he would spend at least $499 just to get a new PC tower. I think this brilliant marketing on Apple’s part. I hope it really takes off.
iPod Shuffle
Another great marketing idea. Targeted at those who want the iPod but don’t want to drop over $250 for the regular or mini version.
iLife and iWork
Of course, these are must for anyone with a Mac.
