But the reality is that for a good solid decade there, Jobs did* actually blow our minds, repeatedly.* JMO, but I think that you have raised the standards for this. If the iPad 3 wasnt "mind blowing", then nothing Apple has introduced has been since the original iPhone and maybe the original Macbook Air. The only thing possibly mind blowing about the original iPad was the price. The only product that is likely to meet that kind of standard is an Apple television. I think one is coming, but it isnt gonig to be in the next three months. Late fall at the earliest and 2013 is probably more likely. Slacker

>>But the reality is that for a good solid decade there, Jobs did actually blow our minds, repeatedly.<< I can't recall a single Apple product that wasn't greeted, in some quarters, by criticism that it wasn't good enough, that it lacked essential features, or wasn't a significant upgrade, etc. That certainly happened often enough here. Are you now claiming that your mind was blown every time Jobs introduced a new product? Did the iPad 2 blow your mind? How about the iPhone 3Gs?
