I have been following the announcements of new features that will eventually be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I was surprised that Apple would announce this product, make a big deal out of new capabilities, and then inform you that the product will be available in the summer. Normally, you can finish watching (I guess not in this case) the presentation, connect to the store, and buy. I guess there have been some occasions on which a product was not immediately available, but it seems in those instances other products were immediately available. I am not certain that this means anything, but it does seem to be a change in the normal way of doing things. Is the developer community so large, that the go ahead on development is news for consumers? Perhaps there is just intense interest and the company felt it might as well chart a course for the future. I would rather have something definite about a netbook?
