To his delight, curious children were immediately attracted to the strange new machine. “When they said, ‘Can we touch it?’” Mitra recalls, “I said, ‘It’s on your side of the wall.’ The rules say whatever is on their side, they can touch, so they touched it.”

Within minutes, children figured out how to point and click. By the end of the day they were browsing. “Given access and opportunity,” observes O’Connor, “the children quickly taught themselves the rudiments of computer literacy.”" (via)

De iPhone is een mobiele telefoon, een widescreen video-ipod en een heuse computer in één apparaat. Het lijkt een prachtig, revolutionair apparaat te zijn.

Vergelijk nu het aandeel Apple versus de aandelen van handheldmakers Palm en RIM (Blackberry) ten tijde van Jobs keynote. (Live quote.)

De iPhone is helaas pas in het vierde kwartaal van 2007 in Europa verkrijgbaar. De eveneens vandaag gepresenteerde Apple Tv is gelukkig al in februari te koop, bestellingen worden vanaf heden geaccepteerd.

Steve Jobs’ keynote is hier te bekijken.
