Remember when people got excited about an Apple announcement?

Remember those days? We're now hours after their big announcement, and nobody has posted about it here. To me (as someone who has been called an Apple hater, yet owns a crapload of Apple gear), the announcement was "meh". More of the same. Yes, thinner, faster and coolerer, but nothing that made me go "whoa". Steve Jobs often had "one more thing" that took people by surprise, and even made it past all the leak sites. But now most of what gets announced has already been leaked, or rumored on for months. Sites like Gizmodo who don't even have access to Apple events manage to nail most of the announcements before they even take place.

When was the last time Apple rolled out something that took the world by surprise?
