macworld san francisco

yay!

for the first time ever, i saw and heard steve jobs deliver his famous keynote. i'm such a geek.

i switched to mac back in 1999, by choice and by circumstance. by 2001, i bought my own imac, so whether i was at work, or at home, i was steve jobs' minion. hehehe.


this morning, jobs unveiled the iPhone (I.WANT.ONE!), which is basically an iPod smart phone and MORE. it's like the video iPod (that's not gonna happen anymore, considering this) only better. touch-screen! and it has internet capabilities! i'm droooooling.

4 gig = $499 while the 8 gig will cost $599. will start shipping by june. for erope, last quarter of 2007. for asia, 2008.

it's almost 5 pm and i can't believe i haven't eaten anything yet. like a giddy school kid, i was up early to avoid the traffic jam that macworld's going to give to san francisco. by 8ish, I was already with the several hundreds of media from all over the world, all waiting for the doors to open. it was an event in itself, i wonder how many people are left in vegas to cover the CES. hehehe. haaay.

i'm gonna go grab something to eat. i'm starving.

oh, by the way, john mayer performed 2 songs after jobs' speech. coolness. it's my second time to see him live, after the vh1 2002 awards. wala lang.
