Tough act to follow but wondering..... - samintx - 10-05-2011
Last night on the radio commentators were saying the presentation was bland like a highschool math teacher instead of the excitment S.Jobs creates. True? I never have watched any of the Apple "announcement" parties so can't compare...but do you think it is a letdown so far? (no new iPhone notwithstanding)

Steve forgot to hand over the RDF generator with the keys to the exec washroom.
I never watch the videos. Just the play-by-plays in text.

It was generally uninspiring, but it did succeed in conveying the information well.
The Unreal Engine and Siri demos were intriguing, but there was a lot to sit through to get to them.

Yeah, Tim was pretty low key.
He doesn't have the charisma of Stevie.
The fact there was a lot of the typical "State of the Apple" stuff didn't help much. But it was quite tolerable.
I'm not sure that Stevie creates excitement at these things, but his obvious passion shows and nobody thinks "math teacher".
I don't know that Tim will get any better. But that's ok with me.

Yes. It was bland. Scott Forstall tried valiantly to stoke the coals under the RDF generator, but he's no Steve Jobs. Everyone else delivered a horribly monotone presentation. They could have had cardboard cutouts on stage with tape players behind them. The 4S is an impressive phone and iOS 5 will be a significant improvement, but if future presentations are going to be like that then it will be hard to get the press to show up at product launches from now on.

Maybe they can get Jeff Bezos to fill in for Steve. He seems to have studied his presentations pretty well.

Funny. Maybe more truth than poetry.

The recent news says it all.
I think we will have to wait for the next Apple event to judge the current Apple team.

Yep.
They might have known already that Steve was close to passing.
That'd put anyone off their game.
