Apple provided the mechanism, but Macworld Expo provided the place and time to actually interact with some of the best and brightest people I’ve ever met.
One of the more interesting products at Macworld Expo is a line of powerbook and iPod cases from the textile designer Rebe.
As previously mentioned, the Expo is so loud that you can’t hear anything well enough to evaluate sound quality, but don’t worry, we’ll give it a complete test later this season.
