If you were expecting the Beatles, then yes, it was FAIL. But the new iTunes that lets you reorganize your iPhone is absolutely full of WIN! - Joey Gibson

Meet my expectations. - ChiliMac

(rolls eyes) This happens every single event and every single keynote. You have some delighted and many others who buzzed themselves up. The smarter thing to do is be neutral and see what shows up. - Louis Gray

Totally agree: people talking about Tablets, about an online version of iTunes "à la Spotify"... and what do we get? An iPod Nano with a camera? - Jordi Soler

SCIENCE. - Josh Haley from iPhone

The speculation about an Apple tablet came from an analyst who admitted it was just speculation. But that was enough for lot of people to bank on it as if it were a fact. If Apple had to deny every incorrect rumor, it'd have to hire its own PR agency just for that. Still, I don't think the event was a fail because it was pretty huge that Jobs ran the show himself. - Ed Moltzen

Yeah, Steve's recovery was the best part. But you have to admit there was so much buzz for this one that one can't help but feel disappointed. It feels as if the "Apple era" is starting to fade... - Jordi Soler

Expectations are by definition personal. If yours were low, this event exceeded them. If yours were high, this event was underwhelming. Whose fault is it if the hype is high? Apple's? I don't think so. I'm impressed with the number of things they announced today. - Stephen Mack

whetes my portable reality distortion field?! - thegeniusfiles

The headline from the press release for the event should be APPLE SHIPS JOBS 2.0 - Steve Rubel from email

*It feels as if the "Apple era" is starting to fade... * - hahaha.. love that.. - Andy Connell

I didn't think it was a fail. I thought it was pretty solid. Sure the only thing I was excited about was iTunes, but that is only because I'm not getting another iPod since I have an iPhone. But, I can see the things that people would be excited for. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood
