No surprises at Apple’s final Macworld

Apple's last Macworld keynote speech turned out to be notable as much for what did not appear as what did. Steve Jobs, the company's chief executive, was the most obvious non-appearance - but also missing were expected appearances of new iMacs, an updated Mac mini and any sign of Snow Leopard, the next update to Apple's Mac OS X operating system. Instead Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice-president of worldwide product marketing, gave a 90-minute presentation showing off new versions of the company's iLife and iWork software suites, a new MacBook Pro laptop with a 17in screen and non-removable battery, and announced that in the near future the entire 10m song music repertoire on the iTunes Store will move to DRM-free formats.
