Apple Keynote MacWorld San Francisco 2009

2009 will be the day MacWorld San Francisco attendees and for Apple fans in general will always remember: this is the last year that Apple will have it's keynote address, as well as its last year of attending MacWorld.

On top of that, Apple's top honcho, SeƱor Steve Jobs, will not be the one to do the keynote. Instead, Paul Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, will be the one to take the stage.

This of course prompted speculations about Steve Jobs' health.

Jobs released an open letter to tell everyone that he's fine and his weight loss was due to 'hormone imbalance'.

As usual, weeks before the Apple's last year at MacWorld speculations ran wild as to what Apple will pull out of their hat: new Mac mini, iPhone nano, new 17" MacBook Pro, iLife 09, Mac tablet, Mac netbook, and of course, the Beatles on iTunes.

Some were spot on. Some were dead wrong. Though I suspect those who got it right were just shooting fish in the barrel.

I am still watching Phil Schiller's Macworld San Francisco 200 Keynote Address which I downloaded from iTunes but I will blog about what Apple had in store for Apple fans for the start of 2009.
