This is when this year’s new Apple stuff gets announced. And, as usual, the fanbois are completely a-flutter with techno-salacious hype and bluster. Not only is a mac ultraportable on rumour but also [could it be true?] a Rogers iPhone too.
And, if not, some third product, like the future of all human happyness distilled to some impossibly cute white and silver box, shipping now, only $499.

It just so happens unfortunately that I actually need a new portable, and, my trusty but rather ancient Nokia is in need of an upgrade (and, let’s be honest, it was in my hand last saturday but I haven’t seen it for a week).

However, if there’s one universal about macworld, it’s that for each Apple product that is any good, the pre-hype and over-frothing speculation is at LEAST twice as much, so maybe, in the end, my poor Visa come off only half so bad. What are the chances?
