So it's a phone

So Apple has announced the iPhone.

Dammit! They'd been working on that thing for the past 2.5 years and nobody knew what they were doing!

That means when I was at Steve's keynote in Jan 2005, grinning from ear to ear watching him show off the iPod shuffle and the Mac mini, he already had the iPhone at the back of his mind.

And as soon as he was finished and got everyone talking about the shuffle and the mini (Creative CEO Sim Wong Hoo dismissed the shuffle as a "non-starter" and look where Creative is now. Haha!) Steve and his team was already fast forwarding to 2007 and the iPhone.

I wonder what they're working on now. Something for 2009 perhaps, an anti-gravity belt so you can download songs to your iPhone "over the air"?
