I have to say that only the power, aura and sheer anticipation of a Steve Jobs keynote at Macworld Expo could upstage the renowned Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Of particular interest were the respective keynotes by Steve Jobs at Macworld Expo and Bill Gates at CES. Nick Carr talks about the differences between two of the most important people in personal computers.
Anyway, being a self-admitted Mac fanboy, there isn't the passion and excitement when you listen to Bill Gates talk in comparison to listening to Steve Jobs talk...it's like Gates is trying to sell you something that even he doesn't believe in. Given Jobs' reputation for perfection, it's not hard to actually believe him when he tells you his products are "the best ever".
Anyway, I'm totally smitten with the iPhone (or whatever it will be called when it's finally shipped, pending Cisco's lawsuit over the iPhone name). Despite it's shortcomings (my biggest beef is that you can't sync wirelessly with your Mac), it's going to set the cell phone industry on its head. There's no other device that even looks like this device, nevermind that it has an interface that Nokia, Motorola or Sony-Ericsson can only dream of.
