Bloomin' Steve Jobs!
This week is the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, and Lennie sent me here to prepare for what was going to be SnideUK's biggest techno-scoop of the year.
After months of work - scouring the web for leaked plans and pictures, sourcing cheap components, writing dodgy software, buying faulty batteries, and getting a plant in Thailand to make them, we were all set for our most audacious coup yet: the SnidePod Nano!
But (and I'm still reeling over this):
(1) Steve Jobs didn't bother turning up (apparently he'd been taking one of our "herbal supplements" and felt "a bit woozy")
(2) Apple didn't launch an iPod Nano!!!!!
Lennie's gonna kill me!
How could this happen? Even the Daily Mail last August said Apple we're launching one, and there's "leaked" pictures all over the web.
The only bright side is that the thing about gadgets is that you folk like to be seen with the latest kit, and fortunately for us at SnideUK you're often they're not really fussy whether it actually works or not, are you?
So, anyone who wants a smaller-than-normal iPhone-a-like that works every second or third call, do get in touch. It doesn't play Super Monkey Ball, though. But it does have some fabulous super hi-tech "Apps" - Minesweeper, MS Paint, Calculator, Address Book and Solitaire!
What a day. I don't know what's worse, thinking of how I'm going to explain all of this to the team, or having to listen to Steve Balmer's keynote...
