The MacJury convened to analyze the information and provide insight into everything Steve Jobs and company unveiled. Some of the topics discussed include the focus on touch, iMessage’s kill feature, Lion Server, the presence of Twitter and absence of Facebook, Game Center, the Reader feature in Safari, the many aspects of iCloud, issues surrounding bandwidth use and caps, Photo Stream, and why one panel member considers iTunes Match “freakin’ awesome.” Delivering all that and more are Peter Cohen, Mark Fuccio, Dave Hamilton, Don McAllister and host Chuck Joiner.

The iPad 2 has been announced with a healthy dose of fanfare…but what does it mean to you? An all-star panel of iPad experts agreed to serve on this, our first MacJury of 2011 to discuss the redesign, upgrades and enhancements from both hardware and software perspectives, the way the news was delivered, and where this leaves the shipping and not-yet-shipping competition. Examining the evidence and rendering the verdict are Tonya Engst, Jeff Gamet, Joe Kissell, Don McAllister, Omaha Sternberg, and host Chuck Joiner.

After spending a weekend, or less, with the new device, the panel convenes to discuss the ease of rentals, the difficulty of purchases, and arguably the best Netflix experience yet. The surprising small size, the look and feel of the remote control, the benefits and challenges of Home Sharing from your iTunes library, the lack of content access in Europe all lead to a rousing discussion that wraps up in an analysis of who the target audience is, and whether the panelists would recommend the Apple TV. Passing judgement on all this and more are Katie Floyd, John Martellaro, Don McAllister, Terry White and host Chuck Joiner.
