Just wanted to share a couple of amusing moments during the unveiling of the iPhone.
1) When Jobs said "The second product we're launching today is a revolutionary mobile phone", the guy in front of me leapt up and punched the air in ecstatic glee. I can only imagine he has now collapsed on the floor in an orgasmic sludge, while the rest of us wonder when we'll actually get to see it in Europe.
2) When discussing the input style, Jobs said "We're going to use a stylus?", to which a handful of excitables - possibly from the National Stylus Association of America - whooped away. Didn't they look silly when he followed his question up with an answer: "No: Nobody wants a stylus"?
3) Jonathan Ive's deadpan response when Jobs called him to show how it worked and what he thought: "not too shabby".
4) The number of times that the word "boom" appeared. He's obviously been watching that video meme of his boom moments too much.
