That sums up the event. Many are sure to be disappointed that Apple did not release a special keyboard or watch, but hopefully the 2nd gen iPad mini will hold over fans until the next big release. They have a long way to catch up that’s for sure. For the home, perhaps but for the business side, Apple has a long way to go especially given that its investment on the business side is and has been so shallow. Not a thread to MSFT or GOOG anytime soon. Comment Name * Email *
