Looks like my wish may come true:

Come on , make it happen. They would shift a lot of boxes in the UK if we had the entire BBC archive from the previous week.

Intersting to note that the five new apps for the touch puts the price per app at around $3.99 each. Conspicuously close to the amount many of us believe will be the standard prize for 3d party (and Apple) apps sold from the iTunes Store by February or March.

Dan, I think I recall the picture from June. You looked fine if a but scruffy. Not sure how you smelled though?? I’ll have to ask Sebastian. Didn’t he stop by with some breakfast bars?

A Mac magazine posted my picture at the iPhone launch in June, after I spent a couple days on the sidewalk and looked like a bridge troll.

Umm, didn’t this happen to you last year as well?

@mrunderhill – Not just maps, but the locator to. A BBC Journalist used it and it pin-pointed his location at the Television Centre, so support for (at least some) parts of the UK is already implemented.

I think the charge might be a legal thing (becuase they are adding features to an exisiting product). The same happened with the wireless N patch for MacBooks.

The iPhone is of course paid for over the duration of the contract – hence the free update. None of this goes to explain why the TV software is free, or (outside of Apple) everyones least favourite music player from everyones least favourite monopoloist got a free update either.

This was a good MacWorld. News of  TV was good, Apple is in it for the long haul. Once we get Movie Rentals in the UK it’s pratically sold. If  can work with the BBC to do an iPlayer client for TV (even just streaming) then it the deal is done.

If I was in the market for a laptop then MacBook Air would be a very serious consideration. They’ve got the priorities right for portable computing.
