CNET Accuses Apple of Over-Hyping Launch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bring-back-fireside-chats dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A columnist at CNET is questioning whether Apple over-hyped last week's launch. From the article: 'Jobs' announcement of a new leather case for the iPod was especially ridiculous. Like the queen announcing a new toaster in Buckingham Palace. It seemed odd that Jobs was troubling himself to introduce fashion accessories to Apple's products.' Is Apple a victim of its own success? Can it hold a low-profile product launch anymore -- or do we inevitably expect too much?"

    By the way, did you hear about the new twelve-blade razor for Gillete? It's the best razor ever!

    I'm waiting for the thirteen-blade with ultrasonic action, an iPod interface - and a frickin' laser beam on its head.

    A shave so "close" it'll expose your esophagus, while sounding great.

    Yet, Microsoft did with Origami and no one paid any attention at all. That is sad.
    Who in their right mind would report about a website with a moving "hole" that says, 'touch me'? *shudders*
