The MacWorld San Francisco keynote by Apple CEO Steve Jobs came and went yesterday. I have to admit that I’m left pretty unimpressed. I haven’t watched the full keynote, but judging from the announcements that came out, nothing really blew me away. Of course, I bring higher than reasonable expectations into each keynote. Here are my impressions of the high points.

MacBook Air: This is an ultra-thin addition to the Macbook family. It’s less than one inch thick at it’s thickest point. It has a 64GB solid state storage option (for a whopping $999). It sacrifices and optical drive for space, but features an ability to “borrow” an optical drive from another Mac or PC on the network. I think the thinness is cool, but it won’t fit in my pocket, so I’d still rather spend all that cash on a loaded MacBook Pro.

iTunes Movie rentals: This idea interests me, but until I have an HDTV and an Apple TV, I really have no use for it. Given that the library already includes around 100 HD-quality movies, and I do have a new 20″ HD display on my computer, I might try this out to see if an Apple TV is really worth getting when the new TV comes (hopefully soon).

Apple TV: Along with movie rentals, they also released an updated Apple TV and dropped the price to $229.

iPhone software update: Updates are available that allow for a customizable home screen, enhanced mapping with psuedo-GPS for figuring out where you are, and multi-recipient SMS capability. Alas, no news on hardware updates, though. The new maps app is cool, but it guesses your location based on your relationship to cell towers and wi-fi routers instead of GPS. I want an iPhone badly, but I think I can wait until a 3G version comes out, especially now that AT&T has 3G in Oklahoma City, and it is really fast. Maybe 3G and true GPS are coming this year. If so, I’m all over it.

Time Capsule: This is a product that I just might buy soon. They have basically released an AirPort wi-fi base station with a hard drive in it that is capable of acting as a wireless backup disk with Leopard’s Time Machine. I’m currently in the market for two things: a) a hard drive for backup and b) an 802.11n wi-fi router with Gigabit Ethernet. This has them all. So I am definitely going to check this one out.

Those are the high points. I’m looking forward to watch the keynote to see if there is anything I missed. Overall fairly ho-hum compared to previous years, but it’s clear Apple doesn’t save everything for MacWorld anymore. So new announcements could be just around the corner.
