Steve Speak

Ryan Block, writing this article at Engadget.com in November. I guess it is usually safe to bet on Apple, but this was a great commentary on the goofy statement by Palm CEO Ed Colligan. I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall when Ed saw the news from Steve Job’s keynote. I wonder if he is still smiling?

Here is a photo of the article, preserved for posterity (I love the ad for the iPhone now on the page too… kind of adds something special, dontcha think?):

I love the statement by Ed (Palm CEO): “We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” and “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”

Enter Apple… LOL (If you don’t understand what I mean… go to Apple’s web site and watch the part of the keynote on the iPhone.)

Well, I guess it’s morning officially. In a few hours, Apple will be pulling the covers off whatever they have been teasing us about. The interesting thing is that I’m really not sure what to expect this year. In years past, I had been waiting on various products to be released…. especially on the computer front. This year, Apple already has the best computers on the market across the board. There really isn’t anything for them to do in that category. So, speculation seems to be that most of the announcements will be in the home theatre / phone category. I’m sure we’ll also see a bunch of nifty software released, as we usually do at January MacWorld. I’ll be roving the floor at the show later this week… maybe I’ll post some pics from it.
