Gee Whiz!

the Captain doesn't want to sound too much like a Luddite here...

Google it if you don't know what that is...

but we weren't impressed by Apple's big reveal yesterday. 

Sorry, Tim Cook. I mean, really, what did you give us?

A larger iPhone.

And an even LARGER iPhone!

Captain's Note: Yes, I know this is not an Apple product!

 Seriously! This has got to stop!

And a watch.

Captain's Note: This is not to scale. Yes, I felt the need to say that.

A wonderful, cutting edge, $349 watch...

...that won't be available until sometime next year!

Sigh.

You may not have noticed, Tim, but since I've been carting around your iPhone for several years now (still a 4s) with a clock on the opening screen, I haven't really needed a wristwatch.

Plus, it helps the Captain's laid-back image to not be wearing a watch. After all, why do I care what time  it is, right? 


Actually, it's been more fun this time just watching the speculation about what Apple was going to reveal.


 


C'mon guys! Next time you will really need to impress me with something better than a wrist watch that may or may not hold a charge for a full 24 hours! 

If nothing else, Steve Jobs taught us to expect greater things from Apple. If we're going to line up outside of Apple stores two weeks before the release, we need to be dazzled!

...and for $199 or less!
