Jobs/Apple underwhelm

Nanos Well, 'Let's Rock' turned out to be "Let's Take a Nap."

The only surprise for me was negative.  The iTouch's low-end price is dropped only $70, to $229 ... still $30 more than the iPhone.  About the only thing you get the phone doesn't have is an audio recording capability. 

Wonder whether the iPhone has the same chip?  If it does, why wouldn't it be activated by the new 2.1 software?  Guess it doesn't.  So, the NEXT iPhone will have audio and (dare we hope?) video recording.  But, gotta wait for June '09 for that, I guess.

Wall Street was underwhelmed. The stock continued to tank, even as Jobs spoke.  Only good thing is that, while Jobs joked about speculation over his health, no one's writing that he didn't look OK.  Skinny, oh my, yes, but still "clicking."
