Check out the iPhone!

Man, if you've been under a rock lately and haven't heard about the iPhone, go check it out. It's quite a revolutionary product from Apple. They have applied for 200 patents in this one device.

Here is some similar great technology related to touch screen applications. Wow, neat stuff coming for the future.


Aside from the neat phone though, take a look at Steve Jobs' keynote address at Macword where they launched the iPhone. It's a great presentation. Simple, clear use of presentation aides. Each slide had minimal text in a large font but really drove home the point. Presentation was well rehearsed and choreographed as well. At one point, Steve Jobs brought on stage CEOs from Google, Yahoo, and Cingular - these guys were not near as prepared as Jobs and were not near as inspirational.


This could be a "How To" for making presentations. Note, however, that even this great presentation was not without flaw. At one point, Jobs' remote stop working for a minute. He make a joke, went off-topic for a moment (while support back stage was scrambling, I'm sure), then went back to the presentation.
