WWDC follow up...

I went out on a limb in my last post and predicted the release of the iWatch in tandem with the Healthbook application. Apple did announce the Healthbook portion but not the iWatch.  I guess the watch will be coming later this year. 

The announcements were still fairly significant with strong developer slant towards the software/programming side of the business. Remember though, Apple's strength is in its command of both software and hardware. I saw a lot of software...

Tim Cook is doing a great job with Apple, BUT I think isfSteve were still running the show there would have been "one more thing". Tim has yet to have a defining moment. He has less and less time to prove that his Apple can do what Steve's Apple did - repeatedly. Essentially he is still riding the wave that Steve Jobs created. He's riding it very well in fact. He's a skilled technician to be sure. But he's not leading Apple into new exciting territory with products that no one has ever seen before. 

By my calculations, he's got no longer than 6 months to prove me and the rest of the world wrong. I'm not saying that will the end if his term as CEO or that Apple while tumble back into near oblivion. But, after that, we'll just have to accept that the magic of the Steve Jobs era is gone forever. 

I've got to think that Steve would have gone ballistic at the idea of a keynote being streamed to millions of people around the world watching someone... wait for it... type programming code.
