What Apple has done here is to sit down and say: “what bugs me and ideally how should it work”, then they turned that into WWDC’s announcement. These changes don’t feel like bug fixes or feature upgrades, they feel like a rethinking of computing.

A look at the way things should have always been done, but weren’t for one reason or another. That starts with all devices (PCs, Macs, Phones, Tablets) being seen as equal — what it ends with I have no clue.

This is what is exciting to me. I’ve been thinking about how the new idea of your documents residing with the applications versus the documents residing within a file structure will work. It’s really not much different than what I do now. I’m working on a few tweaks to my workflow based on this principle. I’ll share shortly.

Of course, the true magic comes with Lion and iOS5, just as Ben writes:

I don’t know of a single other way to take a document I am working on with my iPad and jump to my Mac having the document up-to-date and the cursor in the same position without pressing an extra button — to me, that is magic. It’s magic because logically that is how everything should have always worked, but in reality it is how nothing works.

July and then this fall can’t get here quick enough.
