This is pretty amazing (maybe to me only ;-) ). For a while now, a
majority of Apple's advertising seemed to be focused on imovie and
iphoto, as if the computer was mostly just a high tech home slide
show/home movie editor. Now ipod seems to have joined the mix. All
along, I kept thinking, do enough people really want to do this stuff?
Is there really sufficient demand for this kind of thing to make it the
main focus of your marketing campaign for your entire computer line?
I guess there is.
